And then the wife tells me that we might not be able to reach the end of the month without a struggle.
And yet we have thousand of people on the unemployment register cheating the system and getting hundreds of pounds of my tax money and laughing at us, having there rent paid etc, an yet myself work hard for what. Its makes me so angry. Its makes me wonder shall l jack in the job and live off the system, or carry on with all the stress of having a debt collector at the door or becoming homeless for refusing to pay the rent and let society pay for it.

I feel your pain Arthur, yet I am bound to point out that the Tory-led Coalition you despise so much is tackling the issue by pursuing fraudulent or overblown claims of all kinds of benefits, and setting an upper limit on how much any family can milk the system for. I assume from the post above that you approve of these measures?
Regarding your difficulty making ends meet, well the whole nation is currently learning some painful lessons about living within our means. If it's a struggle, you need to take a long hard look at your outgoings and consider where you can trim them back. How about dropping your TV and Internet down a tier or two?
We cancelled Sky altogether when I had a spell of unemployment a few years ago and have never looked back. The box operates in Freesat mode to this very day.
