Some people actually believe income redistribution by taxing workers and giving it to dole recipients to spend in the local economy (pubs, cafes, tat from Dealz) is good for the economy. Maybe it is. Bit it's not fair and it doesn't improve the lives of workers or the social situation of scroungers.

Life isn't fair.

I find dealz great for certain stuff tbh

Workshy people with too many kids deserve to live in near-poverty.

From the article;

A DWP spokesperson said: “The benefit cap was introduced to encourage people to seek work by ensuring their maximum income on benefits does not exceed that of a household in work.”

I wonder would this ever be brought into Ireland?

Imagine the whinging from Ruth Copponger and co.

That’s enough reason to never bring it in here,

To take pleasure from seeing a family clearly struggling, to see 7 young children living in poverty and to blame it all on their parents, jumping by default to the conclusion that they're nothing but lazy wasters - informed only by a piece in the UK red-tops alone, well that's a pretty mean spirited sort of way to look at that young family..

Theres only mention of him working. If she had been ( not that shed have the time given shes been pregnant for about 6 years) they would 100% have worked it in. Even a vague mention of a part time job when she was 16.

He was a waiter. There isnt a waiter around earning enough to raise 7 kids.

They are irresponsible and are where they are by their own actions.

Christ - they're both still so young, too - still 10+ years of reproductive capacity for both.

As an aside, the kids are gorgeous - I hope they prove me wrong, but with parents like that, they haven't a hope

You’ll find there won’t be any more new babies as nice and cuddly as they are, and sadly the parents relationship will probably come to an end under the pressure of having to budget from now on. Poor kids.

What purpose is this thread supposed to be serving?

Is it -
A To draw attention to the problems of the poor in the UK.
B To raise the matter of the Cash family again.
C To discuss real ideas about welfare reform.
or
D None of the above.

OP takes his football rivalries a bit too seriously. Other highlights include fabricating a story of ‘Mancs’ pushing man u fans in front of trains.

It sickens me to see people that have never had a job, and have no disability yet no intention to work, willingly having 3/4 kids then living in a hotel for example, and willingly having another child again. It's an absolute disgrace..

Is "addiction to willy" not a disability?

If more money was available for health, housing etc as a result listening to the whinging is a price I'd pay.

This is it, i dont think anyone doubts that some people struggle on welfare, its just a different approach as to how to solve it, paul murphy and co think we should force the workers and businesses to contribute more to the 21 billion quid slush fund, People like myself think that we should trim the waste and misappropriation to re allocate the money and reduce spending to prevent more low earning workers needing welfare, but apparantly thats evil or something...

It's well overdue this country bringing in similar benefit caps to discourage sitting on your arse all day and taking hard earned money from others to pay for your lifestyle. This country has become a socialist utopia for the scrounging class.

Ah, I was with you until your confused mention of socialism.
Equality would mean everyone gets a fair shake. Any scrounger wouldn't be put on a pedestal.
I've yet to see anyone post any quote from any party re looking after dem dat don't want to work.

Two kids max, then zero welfare for number 3.

And yet the Tory party that introduced these cuts and austerity are swept into power with their largest majority in years.

The country rightly give a up yours to the mickey money brigade like this couple

The left in this country would do well to keep the head down and paws by their side lest Tory like policies become just as popular here.

Ah who can do anything. Let the leeches laugh at us who work and commute and pay for them.

I can't blame them really, those of us who pay for this largesse have been silenced now, so on they go. Nice.

We who are paying also need a voice. Can you see that happening anytime soon? Not a chance.

well no, the country hasn't given any up yours to the "micky money" brigade. in fact, i don't even think they even featured in the discussion at all.
tory policies created the wellfare class in the uk anyway.

The main issues in the election were -
EU/Brexit
NHS
Crime
Economy
Immigration

I'm sure some people were influenced by welfare issues also.

I hope we don't see Tory policies in Ireland, we had enough of them when they ran the place.
I would expect left leaning politicians to stand up for their principles and not be cowed into submission.

Of course it was, the introduction of the Universal Credit was a huge talking about in the UK in recent years as well as other Tory cut backs.

Looks like they got a sweeping approval for their hard-line approach to benefit scroungers.

Its not an impossibility the same policies would prove to be popular here.

They should split among themselves into yet another grouping like RISE. That'll certainly show FG !

there is no hard line approach to benefit scroungers, rather a list of badly implemented attempts to save money which have ended up effecting genuine wellfare users more then benefit scroungers.
if they wanted to have a hard line approach to benefit scroungers then they would pay for the staff to deal with them effectively, but they won't, just like they won't pay for police, nurses, staff to enforce the border etc.
whether they will actually do that going forward is anyone's guess, personally i suspect they actually won't.

Shouldn't have watched Benefits Street (or what was that other one) - giving the extreme of wasters as if they were the norm

agreed, nobody should watch that rubbish, but they do.
i can't think of the name of the other program unfortunately but no doubt it's just as much drivel.
