I can't blame people wanting to rip the system off as they see this year alone 30,000 illegal immigrants being housed in luxury hotels with no worries about heating bills or food costs. If any of these illegal immigrants are close to retirement age will they get the same pension as people who worked their entire life paying into the system for their pension.

Probably more in truth … The whole benefit system wants changing. Wouldn’t it have been nice to be rewarded for working. Even with all my working, I wasn’t as well off as people who weren’t. But I think my kids also learned that no means no - as in - No, you can’t have school dinners, I can’t afford it .. No you can’t have fancy trainers No you can’t have sweets every night after school No we can’t go to MacDonalds, but if we do, you can only have one item, not three ..
What about MPs screwing the expenses system
I agree, I am disabled and it was extremely hard to get the benefits I needed because so many people fraud the system. I would love to be able to work I miss the social interaction and the feeling of earning my own money....too many kids growing up in benefit families feeling entitled to money they never put in. Btw I worked from the age of 12 till 35 when I became disabled,I hate being reliant on benefits but truly have no choice.

"I hate being reliant on benefits but truly have no choice" - the claim always made by right-wingers intent on taking benefits from others
During the Financial "Crisis" about 10 years ago, we visited friends in Lanzarote and commented on the number of people in orange outfits sweeping the roads, whitewashing walls, tidying up verges, repainting road signs etc, which we had not seen in previous visits. We were told that these were people who were out of work and claiming benefits. It seems the authorities and the islanders felt that they should work for the money they were receiving by doing jobs that benefited the community and in the main they did so with pride. It did not stop them from seeking and securing work when it was available. How refreshing was that?
I know hundreds of people near me who have been on benefits since having kids early twenties, but since then, just sit on their ass all day, and keep claiming, having more holidays than people who work. Its just greed, lazy, and yes we need to stop this madness of giving the money away, Im not working hard to pay for the lazy. Fine the sick is different, but its too easy to be on the sick when you just got anxiety. Give me break

I was a long term carer for my mother until she died. I found it almost impossible to get back into work because every employer wanted recent references (i.e. within the last two years). No allowances were made for my time as a carer and It has taken years to finally get a new job (and no, I wasn't claiming any benefits). If employers are desperate for people they should make it easier for applicants.

Never claimed benefits, even when we were very poor with three small children. I had three different jobs, barmaid, cleaning, working in a night club. I was so tired, used to forget where I was going everyday or what shift I was doing - kept this rate up for years and years until the kids got much older. Most days, thought I would die of tiredness … I used to work the shifts around picking the kids up from school, feeding them, then rushing out after tea to work in a pub, then went on to the nightclub. Getting in at about 4 in the morning. Got up at 7.30 to get the kids ready for school and make packed lunches, then take them to school. Went to a 3hr cleaning job in the afternoon, before I picked them up from school. Work can be found, and it is real work you must do. You can’t afford to do the jobs you want to do, you have to work at what’s available. I worked two jobs until I retired at 64 and always paid a full stamp. That’s why I don’t get pension credit now or any of the benefits that go with it …

You fail to understand that " benefits " are essential to the rich and politicians because: a) they are immediately spent to support the ' economy' and so benefit ONLY the rich (who control that economy ) and b) essential to the rich because it enables the very few to control, completely, the many. Every individual in the land - including the super wealthy - is receiving some form of benefit. Think big!

Benefit is entirely the wrong word. It instills a sense of entitlement. It should be called something like "government salary" or "Tax payers salary". If you are not making efforts to find a job, it stops. Personally I would say if you can't find a job we will find you work for this salary. Plenty of roads need cleaning. Graffiti to be removed.

The homes Giving residents the cheapest food and the minimal staff on shift that they can get away with while the private companies makes huge profits. Pure exploitation of both the workers, the residents and the benefit system.
It depends. Anyone who can work and hasn't worked for for 6 months needs to have their benefits stopped. I do however things there needs to be a reward for hard work. For example affordable housing scheme. Rent to buy was the right direction but they stopped it. Rent to buy is for those on low income who can rent their house for 2 -5 years and have the choice to buy it buy it at the the end of the rent tenancy. They buy the house for 20% lower then a normal cost of a House, and its a way to prove to you can afford the mortgage because you have paid rent for 2,-5 years. This government clearly doesn't want anyone else owning homes.

Child benefit. Mortgage tax relief. Business rates relief. Charlie doesn't pay his inheritance tax. The 70pc off the price of your council house when you buy it. Cheap food and drink for mps. The biggest benefit scroungers in the UK or farmers to you and me. 30pc of their income is government handouts. Yes I agree let's scrap the benefits.

Total respect to the bloke in Hull... Maybe he rent free mortgage free and enjoys the social part of his job.. I know many people that are volunteering in hospitals and such a credit to themselves to give something back for free.. Comfortable off or not.
I agree in theory what they saying. But I think the guy in this video is abit ignorant about ppl with mental health difficulties such as autism/ahdh. I understand some ppl do rip off the system but some ppl do need benefits especially if they have serious mental health issues or physical health issues. 🤔

@Viper Fan. Every last penny paid out in ' benefits '.
benefits give you money but i dont think they can get bank loans for a car or a mortgage. they have no private pension either so once you claim i think you might be stuck. I worked 41 years low pay and it's tough with a family but you can further yourself. in retirement if you have acquired assets you're more secure. use it as a safety net.
Been enjoying reading many comments but sadly I need to get my arse out of bed as 12.5 hours shift today Sunday... 🤣 🤪
Stop paying imagration.
In the last week 3 drug addicts on disability benefits came into the shop I work at. One had a back payment of £7000, one had a back payment of £8500 and one had a back payment of £28000… The UK is finished..
There was a lot of disabled people who suffered going back to Osbourne. I think the universal credit has got its act together a lot of people suffered before the advance payment was thing they waited 8 weeks sometime without a penny when they was desperate. I think it has improved a lot
“If you do something you love, it’ll never feel like work”… She’s still down Kings Cross then 👀
We need to bring in "Work Fair" for long-term applicants. Anyone able bodied, and I include all the depressed and "bad back merchants", should do some sort of voluntary work in return for benefits. This could include litter picking, mowing old people's lawns, shopping for elderly and vulnerable, or escorting special needs kids to school. And I mean 30 plus hours a week not every other Wednesday morning. If anyone is not happy with this arrangement they can always get a proper job and if they do not have the time then they are clearly not available to work.

After receiving £280 a week in benefits for years for doing nothing 28 year old Philippa Day took a fatal insulin overdose because she didn’t want to get out of bed early to attend a face to face interview at the local Disability Benefits Assessment Centre.

Those payments stopped in January 2019 after she made an application for a personal independence payment (PIP), reducing her income from £228 a week to £60. NOT £280. Philippa Day, 27, was found collapsed at her Nottingham home beside a letter rejecting her request for an at-home benefits assessment in August 2019. "The coroner said call handlers received little to no training on personality disorders like Miss Day's - all that was available was a factsheet. Capita was made aware of the risks to Miss Day's health from a face-to-face interview by her community psychiatric nurse, but did not act on it, he added." A Capita spokesman said the company also apologised for the mistakes made. "We have strengthened our processes over the last 18 months and are committed to continuously working to deliver a high-quality, empathetic service for every claimant," he said. "In partnership with the DWP, we will act upon the coroner's findings and make further improvements to our processes." So, she was in fact mentally unwell, not 'doing nothing.'

@@julesm9498 - 1. The basic weekly entitlement for an unemployed person was around £78 per week - the only reason Philippa Day was receiving £60 per week was because £18 or thereabouts was deducted from her weekly benefit to pay back a loan she inexplicably took out from the social fund when she was still in receipt of £228 per week. 2. I don’t accept that the face to face interview posed any threat to Day’s health; her father was prepared to accompany her to the assessment and support her throughout the process; the community psychiatric nurse was not impartial and the coroner at the inquest seemed unduly biased in Day’s favour. 3. Lizzie Cundy posits that people who are physically well enough to work should not seek benefits - this applies to Day who was indeed ‘doing nothing’ whether she was mentally unwell or otherwise.

@@josephjefferson9346 no 1, i am aware of the unemployment rate. However, she was on pip. no 2 in your opinion. The coroner decided otherwise. Capita apologised as well. I do have empathy for her. I do not see her as being lazy. Being mentally ill must have been an enormous strain on her, especially to overdose herself.
Benefits should be stopped at 6 weeks no excuse never to work if able, stop giving them money, they will soon find work
Immigration should be stopped immediately and anyone on benefits, unless they have a physical or mental disability, should be offered a job and training if needed no matter where in the UK the vacancy is
so are you suggesting to die if a person not able to pay bills?🙄🤔 what about people with mental issues?or what about those whos family have only single parent and them not having enough monies to feed family?🧐
Benefits should be a safety net.
Very fair , logical and honest debate so no good for putting to parliment.
I worked all my life .paid my dues,get my state pension ,pay all my bills and my mortgage .....but because i pay £15.00 a month tax per month .I cannot get credits ....My neighbour who has never ....NEVER ....worked ...gets credits and IS over £100.00 a week better of than me ......even more now because of the power subsidy ......FFS it cannot be right that I who have paid in ,am now worse off than a someone who paid in nothing....
If we didn't pay out for foreigners we would have more money
If people who can work don't work, then they should lose the right to vote. This way these people don't get to vote in the idiot politicians that allow this rubbish to happen . Benefits are a safe backdrop for the needy not a career for foreigners and the lazy . Tim
I have met so many Uk people who have learnt the system and get benefits. This is important. So many lazy Uk people who just expect. I’d like an exchange programme, people who are in Uk who are work shy should be relegated out of Uk and someone who wants to work and will work should take their place.

Check your history please. When the Welfare State was started by the Labour Party in 1948 they were sensible enough to state that any benefits for people out of work or temporarily in need were to be just that - a temporary solution. And in those days people were looked down upon if they spent more that 6 months 'on the dole'.

That was before governments started crashing the economies every 10 years for one reason or another and blaming the general population for the mess as well as a surplus of jobs.
Does our society incentivise work? Many people can be hard working and end up with nothing. They can pay throughout their working lives paying towards the pensions of others. As for welfare benefits, it goes to utility companies and supermarket chains etc, inevitably ending up in the hands of corporations. Yet you can simplify this and make it so easy for people to get a poorly informed opinion. We'll done GB News.

Good point....while I agree with what they say that more people should be working the high cost of rent and the relatively low minimum wage ( and hours offered a lot of the time...mcjobs subsidised by tax credits) do not incentives people to work. A lot of the work is with agencies that are often part time, minimum wage and temporary. And...many people don't have the so called skills which stops them getting hired in the 1st place....when we all know most jobs can be done with 2 weeks of training!!
Make benefits freely available if you are not working, but there should also be a time limit say...6 months or less of benefit in say a 2 year period. Then...this would really encourage people to take a little rest, but be incentives to look for another job if they find themselves unemployed.
I used to think the way many do. Because I had worked in the past I turned my nose up at doing the shit jobs when I had a spell on JSA. Felt some jobs were beneath me and partly me being lazy too. What I should have thought... And what I ended up doing was grabbing that shit factory job and earned money until I could find the work that suited my skills. Nobody wants to clean toilets but nobody has to do that forever and should be seen as a stepping stone.

Absolutely - most Mums, in my day, with kids to look after but also worked, did jobs that they were vastly over-qualified for. There was no crèches or help with child minding, we just had to run around, doing a few hours here and there. I wasn’t ashamed of doing low paid manual type jobs, I was more than relieved just to put decent healthy food on the table for my kids and to make sure they were sent to school clean and well fed. I couldn’t afford school meals but did them healthy packed lunches. Yes it was hard work but something that has to be done if you choose to have kids …

We have status anxiety in the uk. I have been in that same situation and I acted in the same way. In the end I took a crap job ( but at least a crap paper shuffling manual job so not so difficult) because I would be getting grief off the parents if I sat at home for longer than a week!! It's difficult for graduates...qualified but sometimes no hard office skills or experience so hard to get a decent job. I am now 50...and working as a bloody kitchen Porter in galway ( originally from the uk)after another period outside the UK travelling ( as a backpacker) and then getting stuck in south africa for a year due to covid which drained my savings) took the 1st job that came up....as totally skint at the time and homeless...but 9 months on I am now on my feet again.currently disliking the job.( overworked)..but it was necessary and I can hopefully find something a bit easier in the future in the uk.
There are plenty of freeloaders, back pain, anxiety, PTSD, all sorts of things which cannot be diagnosed. Cut their benefits by 10% per month. It is also ridiculous to subsidise low wages with Universal Credit, the employer should pay the wages, not me.
Is this the home of common sense?
How disgusting l have worked all my life , still working full-time at 67 years of age want to go part-time people use every excuse ,as to why l didn't get the job because they cannot say its age ,l offer a lifetime experience fit and healthy never missed a day due to sickness in last 7 years , so were do you stand with that

It's true that people that CAN work, SHOULD work. BUT......and it's a big BUT, the DWP or Job Centre or Capita, whatever you want to call them, are belt-feeding people into jobs at the 'giant' companies. These giant companies take on 30-40-50 people at a time. These jobs are truly awful. They'll pay you the least they can (by law), they'll give you the minimum breaks they can (by law), they have ridiculous shifts that basically screw up any social life that you may have, they want you to work weekends, however fast you work, they want you to work faster. Basically, they want 150% out of you while giving you as little as possible. I put up with working for one of these companies for 5 months, 5 months of soul destroying misery. IF i was still working for them, I would have been working Boxing Day from 3pm-midnight and New Years Day from 6am-3pm! ....no thanks, they can go to hell. Fortunately i've found a much much better employer, and they'll get 150% out of me without even having to ask.

Exactly. There isn't any. The promise that there would be was a pretext to grow the channel. GB News are happy to be on the "right side" of the culture war, but that doesn't mean they care for vulnerable or poor people. This is why the working class suffer. Neither the right nor the left represents them anymore. The right appeals more to them on culture, but neither side are truly fighting for their interests.
