You have to laugh!

We just got an e-mail from somebody called Wayne complaining that some time back I called scousers lazy. I guess it has taken him a couple of months to write it! Anyway this is what he says.

"How can you call us scousers lazy? I get up and sign on dead on time once a fortnite and unlike you lazy southerers I go down the post office to collect my money rather than have it paid direct into my bank account."

Did you see Victims R Us?

Did you see Victims R Us, also known as Liverpool FC, on TV last night? They were in the qualifying round of the Champions League, playing in front of 40,000 benefit fraudsters at Anfield. And they were rubbish! They were playing against some team from Belguim that would struggle in our second division and finally won with a goal in the twenty seventh minute of extra time.

Their Spanish manager had already made exuses in advance, claiming that Steven Gerrard was tired. Tired after 3 games and four and a half hours work! They build these scousers tough don't they! I heard they will be playing in pink in future. Mind you four and a half hours work is more than most of them in the crowd have ever done.

Anyway one good thing came out of it. Steven Gerrard went home and shagged his wife to celebrate. Unfortunately for him she woke up and he now has a groin strain. This means he won't be fit for Englands World Cup qualifying matches so the Italian Tax Dodger in charge can't pick both him and Fat Frank Lampard. Which means we might have a chance.

Another fact they keep quiet. Adults Only

Everytime the government need some publicity they announce another crackdown on benefit fraud. Fair enough you might say, people fiddling their benefits cost taxpayers a lot of money. And you would be right. 0.6% of the benefit budget, 800 million pounds is lost through fraud. But it is not the benefits systems biggest loss, far from it in fact.

Mistakes by claimants, because of the over complicated system designed to stop people claiming what they are entitled to, and mistakes by their incompetent staff cost far more. 1.9 billion last year to be exact!

So rather than trying to grab headlines wouldn't everybody be far better off if they simplified the system and sent all the staff back for retraining so that they actually know what they are doing? Maybe they could teach them some manners and respect for the people they are supposed to be helping at the same time?

But of course this will never happen while the clowns we have at the moment are in charge. These idiots are far more concerned with what looks good in the papers than what actually benefits the people of this country.

Just another perfect example of why our taxes are so ridiculously high in this country.

Here is a bird.

Can Gordon sink any lower?

The governemt have decided to make it easier for pensioners to claim help they are entitled to by simplyfying the process of claiming for pension credits and other benefits. Great you might think. Except that at the same time they have decided to reduce the time limit for back claims from a year to three months.

So anybody who didn't understand the system, was missinformed by incompetent staff or just didn't realise they were entitled to benefits will now lose out.

Once again this heartless government has found a way to save a few quid by stealing it from those who need it most.

This government are scum and if you are a Labour supporter then that makes you scum as well.

As you all know.

As you all know Castonya and I have lung cancer. This means we can't work and have to live on benefits. This, according to the staff at the different benefits agencies we have to deal with, automatically makes us second class citizens and scroungers.

A perfect example is our sick certificate from the doctors. We have to provide a new one every three months and if it is even a day late our benefits are stopped. As they obviously expect us to suddenly get well again I have asked them on several occasions if they could send the miracle cure for cancer they have found to my doctors but to date they haven't replied.

Contrast this to somebody else I know. He is off sick with a bad back and recently went to see a doctor from the benefits agency. He was asked a few questions then told to come back in 2011. He doesn't need to get sick certificates, see his doctor or anything.

So if you are going to get ill under this government make sure you get the right illness. Get a bad back or bad kneees or something but whatever you do don't get something as trivial as cancer. Because if you do you will spend half your life being hassled by the people who are supposed to be helping you.
