Why do a lot of the British public hate people on benefits?

No worries then I can’t be arsed to do it myself for someone who doesn’t have the capacity to use google.

You're literally the problem.

Making statements of fact then refusing to give any evidence.

The fact remains that the vast majority of people claiming benefits are entitled to it. Benefits is a good thing. It's just that people fixate on the tiny population of people misusing the system. People need to get their heads out of their ***es and look at the bigger picture.

Well, if they are statements of fact, then he doesn't need to give evidence. He has considerable knowledge of the Benefits system as do many of us who know what we are talking about and who don't spend time bashing specific groups in society based on **** they hear or read on the media. The majority of people who are on benefits are entitled to what they get and they are not answerable to you or anyone else how they choose to spend their income. There will always be people who misuse the system and sadly, this is what people focus on. There is more revenue lost in this country through tax evasion, white collar/corporate crime than through benefit fraud.
Maybe you and those who think like you think we should go back to the days of the Poor Law and before the introduction of the Welfare State.

What is going to happen when artificial intelligence takes most of the jobs as predicted in the next 20-30 years?

I can't see how universal basic income is going to work.

This us all worrying to be honest for the future as there is a lot of uncertainty.

The tax system will change, I don’t know how but it’s the only solution

Yeah but do you think politicians or those in charge actually care about mass unemployment or handling the issue?

They can't even sort out Brexit or the immigration crisis so it all seems to be a bit of a dystopian future at the minute.

Thanks for realising it’s a statement of fact.

Can’t write a sentence properly and can’t use google. Class

Well, we're not all as clever as you.

The simple solution is to eliminate all benefits. Encourage people to stand on their own two feet and give them their freedom back. The current system just creates a dependency culture.

Well, that wasn't a troll post at all

Predictable response from someone who does not like alternative views.

Dependency culture is a very real thing and does not just cost the taxpayer, but also harms those who choose such a course of life. As we have seen in the last few years many perfectly able people have reentered the workforce simply because the Conservative Party made benefit claims more stringent. The result is higher income, better health and personal pride for these individuals. It is no surprise that so many from the lower social classes voted Conservative in the last election.

We need to take things further and remove all benefits.

So what do you propose we do with those that are physically unable to work or cannot find work due to various barriers that stop them from doing so??? There's a difference between an alternate view and plain f***wittery.

As unfortunate as such health problems are, they are not my fault. Such individuals such rely on charity rather than expecting handouts from the state (i.e. taxpayers, i.e. the small minority including myself who are forced to contribute more than our fair share to this country).
