benefit scroungers

Mathew Ridley, chairman of Northern Rock when it went bust (and lost the taxpayer around £4 billion) got £205,000 last year from us because he owns the Blagdon estate.
Lord Vestey takes £1.2 million from us. His companies paid £10 in tax for the year.
The Duke of Westminster (one of the richest men in England) got £820,000 given to him every year. The same is true for all the big landowners in the UK
Meanwhile the media continue to pump out benefit scrouger stories. But not these scroungers though. You couldn't make it up

the rich get richer the poor try hard but get done for it...

it cracks me up (but not in a good way) when cameron, osborne and clegg say that we are all in it together

no we arent

these toffs havent worked a real day in theri lives

they just get off on being in a position of power

and they are richer than most of us will ever know

it's the rich wot 'as the pleasure, It's the poor wot gets the blame

in the future any of my savings are going under my matress the banks can f*** off

FACT: The ENTIRE yearly take of UK TAX dosnt even cover our benefit pay outs in that same tax year.

thats cos the bastards are all avoiding it. the only people who pay are those on paye. It's shitty

so its the poor man paying for the benefit scroungers? be they english or immigrant

the rich avoid lining the pockets of the workshy, yet the working class seem happy to fritter away their hard earned into the pockets of the freeloading

i cant get my head around the apathy here...

yes the poor man is paying for the benefit scroungers. What you can't get your head round is that the scroungers are the rich , banks, farmers and big corporations. Little people fiddling unemployment/disability/housing benefit is a sideshow. What Vodaphone avoided in tax last year is enough to cover it all.
I'm not defending benefit cheats, just saying their contribution to the Great National Disaster is minimal.

Forks is such a liberal loves every minority going apart from the rich minority. He has no problem with any race rolling on into the UK via channel tunnel but if a British company wants to choose which country it pays tax in he is up height. Live & let live Forks.

Sums up a lot of people today Spence.

I call them FAILED HIPPYS

You should read Monday Guardian it mentions pretty much what you have said http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentis...stocrats-eu-agricultural-policy?newsfeed=true

well der. thats where i got it from

It's not just the channel tunnel. It's ok if they fly in as well.

Interesting read that

do you still think they should get the cash?

You got your info from the media, nice one.

Well the one thing the article doesn't explain is how the money they are given is spent. Its also carefully construed - for example the Lord Vestey comment about paying £10 went back to the '80s before the tax laws were changed.

Still though, it certainly does make you think and on the face of it the land payments seem excessive.

oh yeh. And where does your information come from?
