I often cry when I see him struggling to walk or his leg colapses beneath him for no reason . The pained expressions on his face, the sleepless and restless nights since 10th of oct 03. I also have a mother who has mental health problems and I have mental health problems we both could sponge off the state, but I love being a nurse and mum loves her job. They should not have to live off the state, what would these people do??? if Mr Blair decided to get tough like the Swedes??? A lot of people would be in trouble wouldnt they?

So you see a small number of people with pyschological problems and assume that everyone is the same? Sorry but they aren't. I've no doubt that Paul is among the minority of us that work hard for what we have and refuse to let pain, discomfort or problems keep us from going to work every day to put money into our pockets. He has pride and self-respect that many people seem too willing to sacrifice for welfare cheque
Having said that though I still disagree with your view that the majority of people on welfare are faking it. As with everything there will always be people that try to abuse the circumstances/system, unfortunately the percentage of people claiming welfare un-necessarily is increasing as more people see it as easy money for no effort.
It does seem though that these days a lot of kids out there get pregnant these days as it's effort free income and many of them are too lazy/ ignorant to go out and get a job to earn their income. These are the people that I do not think should be allowed to leech from the welfare system, people that produce kids on a regular basis just to keep the level of income coming into the home. These people rarely pay their rates, rent, gas/electric/ water bills but do regularly demand more money, bigger houses, clothing grants etc and should be stopped.
People that continuosly take money from the welfare/ NHS without actually working a day in their life should face some sort of restrictions in what they claim but then we all know that would just end in a trip to the court of human right
Maybe we should start a new thread, "welfare state cap, yes or no"
