Have you noticed, it's only those on benefits that can shop every day and get drunk at weekends.

Not the people that I know of on benefits and that includes me a number of years ago when my ex left me with two children under school age.

There may be some who abuse the system but, on the whole, those at the bottom of the pile would love the opportunity to get out from under.

I was lucky in that I was able to go back to further education, with a grant, and then get a decent job. Nowadays the cost of further education is getting to be prohibitive and there aren't that many jobs out there even if you do succeed.
