There are people who are absolutely vulnerable and they need these allowances to put food on the table and nobody can deny that - but there are others who 'cant afford' to buy their kids school uniforms but can afford £90 trainers because the child wants them, 'cant afford to pay for their child to go on school trips to broaden their minds but can afford DS consoles, is eligable for free school meals but manage to get McDonalds or Chinese takeaways 3 nights a week. There are those 'poor and vulnerable' who go out and get pi**ed every friday and/or Saturday, who smoke 20 fags a day.
While all the while the 'better off' are getting squeezed tighter and tighter by the government to pay more and more. Well if they carry on there will only be the few very rich and the rest will be all poor so there will be no one to squeeze and no pot to take from and then what the hell will happen

You're making one hell of a generalisation there. Its like saying all people who live on council estates are filthy chavs or alcoholics with no jobs or intentions of getting one when it couldn't be further from the truth in some areas
