More broken Britain: Man who killed hamster recieves 800 pounds a month in benefits

Hamster killer spared prison term - Yahoo!

So let me get this right. This man receives 800 pounds a month in benefits and spends 70 pounds of it a week on weed? This man needs his benefits to be cut immediately.

Another loafer doing nothing at the states expense. You have to go after the top to justify going after the bottom and this means go for the bankers, but also wipe out this subclass of allowance hungry wasters at the bottom.

Thoughts?

[Fenster]

He doesn't literally get £200 a week, right? Where's Bilbo?

Why can't you work? I'm too stoned because I have to smoke weed all day? OK here's £200 a week to help you out. Brilliant.

[Andre]

Make em work for it.

My second thoughts are that without benifits many of the communities businesses would fail.

Benefits are as much for turn over to keep the system running as they are to support singles and families, they are not just a dead end for cash,there is a slight turn, but not quite a return. Its like expensive manure.

Trouble starts though when they give it away for nothing or no energy in return whatsoever for the first bit. Thats when it is expensive shit.

Apparently he has some knee injury so receives disability allowance, but surely a dodgy knee is not a disability, but an inconvenience. Anyway, I would imagine it would be some kind of rent support or something of that ilk. Looking at the picture of him and his Mrs, it kind of supports my rather rude outbursts about UK inbreeding. A peculiar looking pair.

Benefits should be for tiding you over whilst you look for work. 70 quid a week on weed is not reeducating yourself or looking for work. The dodgy knee just sounds like an excuse too. My wife once had ankle surgery, she was back at work in weeks. It just sounds like an excuse to never earn an honest living.

I believe that the population of the Isle of Wight should be moved to the mainland and the entire lot of these people be shipped over there to fend for themselves, or mutilate each other or whatever it is they want to do. Maybe even let them set up their own chav government. But get them away from England, which at its core is a decent place. Reduce the population by 20% and you have a lovely place. Send the bankers to the Isle of Wight too.

Once they are all settled there ,England could sell them their old arms, buy new modern arms take them over, win a war they know they cant lose against their old shit and then drill for oil under the shit hole which will no longer be a tourist destination.
Sounds familiar?

Didn't Hitler want to do something similar with the Jews? Who owns Madagascar now anyway?

Well, I would rather they exterminate themselves than have me do it. And no way would Hitler allow a Jewish government.

Still, boot out the chavs, they are good for nothing riff raff.

My main problem with that theory is that if you're putting them onto an island with no resources you're drawing out their pain, and they will survive in a very basic way for weeks, maybe even months, but it would still be a death sentence if you're preventing them from swimming back to the mainland.

If we are going to kill them, at least make it quick and don't pretend that it wasn't us that pulled the trigger by putting them on such an island.

[Dark Lord Al]

the punishment for this man should be beyond words. my fury is infinate.

How about sending them to the moon with oxygen tanks and a huge pipe sending up bags of monster munch? Harmless enough, we could simply stop giving aid to Pakistan and use the money for the crisps and equipment. Problem solved. Clearly they would have to build their own houses as there is no council housing on the moon.

Instead of Monster Munch maybe Space Raiders? There is a recession on after all.

I hate the welfare state with a passion, but can you blame the guy. If someone offered to give me as much money as I would earn from working, but I didn't have to work would I take it? Would you?

Chances are yes.

Now £800 wouldn't even cover my mortgage let alone anything else, so it's not a life for me. But if as a state we insist on giving these people money, then we can't blame them for taking it.

It's the system that is broken, people just take advantage of it.

[boozeboxer]

Do I have to be the asshole to point out that it was just a hamster? They feed these things to snakes and do tests on them and one guy throws one and he is the jerk?

[Gandalf]

It's the benefits thing that we are having a go at here. The hamster is kind of secondary to most of us.
