I always considered myself tolerant and easy going, a socialist even, so why am I still nodding in agreement to this?............

Maybe only 21, but a defo candidate for next Prime Minister !!! Food for thought?? Perhaps Draconian, but it's hard to fault the basic truths

"The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living"
This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. It's her future shes worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare system that shes being forced to live in! These solutions are just common sense in her opinion.



Put me in charge . . ..

Put me in charge of benefit payments. I'd get rid of cash payments and provide vouchers for 50kg bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese, basic sanitary items and all the powdered milk you can use.
If you want steak, burgers, takeaway and junk food, then get a job.


Put me in charge of the NHS. The first thing I'd do is to get women to have birth control implants.
Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce, use drugs, drink alcohol or smoke, then get a job.


Put me in charge of local authority housing. Ever live in military barracks?
You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair.
Your "home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried.
If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.


Put me in charge of compulsory job search. You will either search for employment each week no matter what the job or you will report for community work.
This may be clearing the roadways and open spaces of rubbish, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you.
We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your dooff dooff stereo and speakers and put that money toward the common good..


Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realise that all of the above is voluntary.
If you want our hard earned cash and housing assistance, accept our rules..
Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin someones "self esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.


If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards those for continuing to make bad choices.


AND While you are on benefit income you no longer have the right to VOTE!
For you to vote would be a conflict of interest..... If you want to vote, then get a job.

Now, if you have the guts - PASS IT ON... BRING ON THE REVOLUTION.
May I add that no-one gets income support for more than 2 children - if they want more they get a job.

Oh fork me, what a utopian look at things, no wonder I'm the first to reply, those elected to make these demands never will cos it will cost votes, bums vote cos they have nowt to do, working men find it a job too far.

While I could agree with some of this, I suggest she rewrites it after giving it a lot more thought.

Sound-byte politics. (and poor spelling)

If the EU can force HMG to allow occupants of HM prisons (anything from 1 week to life) the vote, people who CHOSE to be where they are, I cant see how the same EU could allow the poor/disabled/unemployed to be refused the vote
