That's far too simplistic, there are far too many subsets however, yes, I would acknowledge the relative virtue of a group of hard working individuals/entrepreneurs who provide employment to others and have difficulty making ends meet.

So you've not used a doctor, a road, a railway, a school, electricity, been protected by the police, security services and armed forces, benefited from scientific research or, for that matter, enjoyed watching a footballer who has in some way had his career supported by UK Sport? How on earth have you managed this?

I thought that was a sign of a supposed witch's innocence? Only those capable of devilish trickery would manage to actually float after all.
Edit; Thought I'd better make some effort to join in the spirit of the thread;
Look at all you silly people on the left/right, you've got this wrong because of *some reason that I'm sure is infallible* and disagreeing with me is a sign of your soft hearted weakness/cold arrogance/stupidity.

No proof then ? Typical Tory IDIOT answer a different question as you don't know the answer
Don't forget his 200 employees who will have, amongst many things, benefitted from UK state education.
Considerably less than NSC's richest [MENTION=12697]Steve Foster[/MENTION] then!

£1.6 billion divided by, say £10,000 per claim equals 160,000, and for your information, I'm not a Tory and certainly not an IDIOT. I think you have the monopoly on that

I think you both know what I meant - benefits. It's in the thread title.
You said you've taken, and I quote "0 from the state"
If you meant something else then be clearer.

i think if one is going to quote, then it should be accurate, and it was "taken £0 from the state". £ is an important symbol in there, because it shows context, its referring to cash and the conversation was on benefits. its a bit disingenuous to shift on to universal and indirect provisions made by the state, when the context was individual and direct payments. this pedantry has a purpose as it highlights how on tax people seem quite happy to shift from one subject to different one pretending they are the same. like switch from benefits to corporate tax evasion. how about we have neither? they are not mutually exclusive. unless one is suggesting that £1.6bn isnt much so doesn't matter, i think we should want to do something to address benefit fraud.

My response was to a post from someone else. Didn't realise that you are an adjudicator

Divide and rule isn't it. The poor blame scroungers for their plight when they should be looking elsewhere.

I report anyone that openly boasts about how much money they can (illegally) get out of the benefits system.

Exactly what the government wants. I cannot believe that so many people fall for it.
