And of course, this doesn't affect working middle class Britain. All these silly threats are like Inone says, taking our eye off the government and creating a blame society.
I have never been unemployed, I count myself fortunate, I have never claimed benefit but I'll never say never and I have never been obese but I count myself fortunate. I am sick to death of the propaganda our government and popular media are spewing out about those people in Britain that really do struggle. This is class hatred at its absolute worst. And I've had one too many glasses of wine but it is valentines day!!

What its actually saying is, if you are unemployed and obese and if you refuse help regarding your obesity, benefits could be cut.

They should give them food parcels and stop handing over hard cash. That way there won't be the wrong foods in their house in the first place and it can only help them in the long term with weight issues.

this argument is not valid as you are picking on a group of people - if this was about anything else it would be challenged.

There is a lot I would support and that could be done by 'voluntary support and advice' as to obesity and drug/alcohol addictions,however when at the end of things,the threat to remove part or all income comes into play,that stinks to high heaven,in my view, as to what this govt; terms as support and advice and as to its real agenda. |

This is just a red herring to divert people away from the issue of tax avoidance anyway, nothing will come of it it's too unspecific it would be a bureaucratic nightmare to implement.

This too.It would probably cost too much to implement to be worth doing.

That actually makes them considerable tax payers themselves too in that case. If there is an agreed entitlement that people should have why then should any govt; say how they should spend same. That would amount to dictatorship. Not a road I would want to go down in the UK at all. |

Some actually believe every benefit claimant is wrongly in some way getting money, rather than taking on board the independent official statistic that says only around at best 1% are. Ina recent channel 4 debate on this, Richard Bacon revealed that only 0.8% of claims could be wrong or by fraud. To listen to this govt; the media and other real hardliners, you'd think it was the other way round. Easy to judge and condemn all from the outside by believing a biased and prejudiced media and this heartless buch of cowards we have as a govt; now that can only sanction and penalise the weakest. I really think I may emigrate in the near future if the UK keeps on the road of these unfair misjudgements of the vast majority of those who are the weakest, poorest and most vulnerable in the UK. This govts; cruel and heartless demonising policies, make me almost ashamed to be British. Last edited by joeysteele; 15-02-2015 at 10:37 AM. |

Well we may aswell all leave work,get fat and live off the state,seriously NO one is saying those that don't need benefits should not get them,but there ARE certain sections of society that ARE lazy,do NOT want to work and benefits is their way of life,I give up on this thread ,I really do.
