Without doubt Neil would''ve warned him to put a cork in his single barrelled yoghurt cannon.

[quote user=" Badger"]This type of argument has been going on for hundreds of years. I spent some time at University studying it (many, many years ago). There has always been a proportion unable to work, either because they were not capable of the work required or work was not available. Equally, in peoples'' mind there has always been a distinction in peoples'' minds between the "deserving" poor and the "undeserving" poor. I must emphasise that unfortunately, the judgement of "undeserving" has tended to be erratic and subjective and only rarely well-informed. To encourage the latter to work there have been quite predictable remedies - physical punishment,; houses of correction and most recently, workhouses. Oliver Twist, was essentially a social satire based around the horrors of workhouses. None of these have ever worked and almost all have made the matter worse rather than better. They distorted the labour market, driving down wages to below poverty levels; were very expensive (ratepayers would not pay for them) and just simply could not cope with the volume of the "undeserving" poor. They are also widely regarded as leading to increased levels of crime.This issue has been magnified by capitalism since the mid-18th century because of the trade cycle meaning that there tends to be large numbers of able-bodied poor at the same time. In its most modern version, with capital mobility the problem is even greater.Basic pattern is that everybody gets very "het up" (understandably) about the "undeserrving" poor. Sporadically, governments - local and national - have cracked down on it. This intervention has usually made matters worse because of the problems mentioned above. I am sure that the Pink un message board will have similar threads in a few hundred time.[/quote]The robots would''ve taken over by then.  And every human will be in the workhouse forced to make more robots.

[quote user="Jimmy Smith"]Pre season and the first couple of games are going to be vital for Ricky. If he gets on the scoresheet early on in the season, I think he''ll destroy the league. We might as well wait until the end of August before we decide what to do anyway and give him a chance against some on paper weaker teams.[/quote]Good point,  Neil might not rush him out on loan until he''s seen action on the back end of the practise games.  

[quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="ricardo"][quote user="PurpleCanary"]I like facts.Fact One: Only three per cent of the UK Welfare budget is spent on the unemployed, via the Jobseeker''s Allowance.Fact Two: Fraudulent claims amount to only 0.7 per cent of the Welfare budget.[/quote]Since jobseekers is only about 70 quid you would have to ask where the IOW guy with the 26 kids by 15 different woman, was getting the remainder of his £800 from?Nobody can live on jobseekers alone. I know because I got about £62 a week when I was made redundant at 61 yrs of age in 2006. After 6 months of it I got bugger all. Perhaps I should have asked someone who knew the system because I sure as hell never got anything after working and contributing for 45 yrs. [/quote]   I was made redundant last year and didn''t even get job seekers. I now realise I could have got sickness benefit for 13 weeks instead but I didn''t apply for it. Probably through ignorance. I would think there''s still lost of benefit entitlements that are never claimed for. Rickyyyy, were you actively and genuinely seeking a job while you were claiming jobseekers? Of course you were [A]   The other thing to remember is that even the so called ''benefit class'' are also tax payers. When I started work income tax was a much bigger proportion of taxation than it is now. I think income tax was around 33% while purchase tax and then VAT were much les than 10%. I would think that a family of this ''benefit class'' who smoke, drink and run a car pay more taxes than I do! [;)]   But seriously I honestly believe that human nature is the same throughout the classes. The same proportion of people are dishonest whichever label we give them. The only way to know is to walk a mile in each person''s shoes...    Unless they''re working class, as they''re more likely to have athelete''s foot.     [/quote]

[quote user="Barossa"][quote user="Michael Bates"]Really hope this means he stays. He is our best striker at the club and simply needs wide men to beat the full back and get the ball into the box. With the correct system in place and possibly a striker that compliments him well, he could absolutely bang them in.[/quote] You are joking right?[/quote]It''s certainly possible imo.  If Neil''s tactics plays to Ricky''s strengths rather than try to make him fit tactics the Hoots prefered.  He could start showing what he capable of.  How do any of us know whether Neil has had a good chat with him.  Talked him into giving it another year without wanting out.  With a promise of a style of play that suits him?

[quote user="lharman7"]Very happy with this for two reasons, the cash and the balance of the team. Begs the question now, did Snodgrass pick his own game up second half of the season purely to put himself in the shop window feeling we would be relegated? Loyalty in the shirt my rear end![/quote]No.  his wife had a difficult pregnacy and when Snod Jr arrived his form picked up.

It''s only a good deal IF IF the money goes into the squad. IF we get a good defender or two in IF we get our midfield sorted which Hooton never did. What IF the money just gets popped in the coffers. This good deal may get questioned later down the line.

[quote user="im spartacus"]i can''t believe people are actually making excuses for these "people" they are basically vermin... everybody should be responsible for themselves it is simple enough if you can''t afford kids don''t have them...if  a mistake happens do your best but don''t have any more until you can support them, some of the drivel i have read on here making excuses for these labotomised inbreds is enough to make you weep... basically places like ipswich should be nuked OTBC[/quote]The irony is, the country can''t afford NOT to have kids.  Take housing, schools, doctors etc out of the equation for a second.  People aren''t breeding enough to sustain all the pensioners in the future, remember thats where the biggest chunk of benefit goes.  That''s why we have so much immigration, we have immigrants to pay for the OAPs'' pensions.  If we didn''t we''d be like Japan, facing serious economic problems in the future.  They have vertually zero immigration and an ageing population almost out numbering people capable of breeding and working.THE truth is, more of these vermin need to sh@g for Britain.  That''s what Jeremy Kyle and the Daily Mail won''t tell you.

[quote user="Ice Cold Pineapple Soda"]PF, I''m basing my comments on what the OP wrote which included them claiming to eat at McDonald''s daily. If you can afford to do that on welfare, welfare has posts its true purpose. What makes it worse is when someone suggests making cuts or having tougher standards to qualify, they are vilified as being heartless. The truth is helping people help themselves takes much more heart and character than throwing money at them.[/quote]Isn''t that like the old saying.  Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?  Shaft the genuine majority to get a the tiny minority who take the piss?Seriously though, stuff them.  Those few  used  (like I said a few posts back) in these programmes are diversary tactic for the ordinary man in the street to turn on themselves, arguing  the toss over a few coppers.  While this is going on.  You''ve got MPs,  and big businesses etc, collectively ferretting billions away in tax avoidance. 

[quote user="ricardo"][quote user="Private Frazer"][quote user="Ice Cold Pineapple Soda"]There is no acceptable excuse for people being given so much. However alienated and unenlightened they may be, they know how to make a sandwich or put milk on corn flakes. If they can afford McDonald''s daily, they can afford a fridge. Making excuses for these mopes only serves to legitimize and accept such behavior to the point they don''t feel stigmatized and therefore lose incentive to get out of the system.[/quote]It''s a Dail Mail myth  people get that much.  Pensioners get the most hand outs.http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2013/jan/08/uk-benefit-welfare-spending[/quote] However the Guardian failed to mention that the vast majority of Pensioners have worked and paid their taxes into the system all of their working lives. Most Pensioners would take great exception to the OAP being termed a "handout".What the Benefits Prog showed was people who have never paid anything in and have been a burden on tax payers and don''t seem the least bit inclined to do anything for themselves except game the system.[/quote]Of course, but it does show that the life long career unemployed hand outs is really just a drop in the ocean.

Today it seems, not so much.If the state will pay you to be poor why would you work for the same result?[/quote]What I would say is, there''s a certain amount of laziness involved.  People have always been lazy, but it''s probably more noticable now as we''re now onto the third generation (more or less) of men not having to do National Sevice.  A modern version of that would sort a few out.

All these types of programmes do is help keep the social underclass in their place by creating a modern freak show.  Jeremy Kyle''s the same pimping the underclass out for a few crumbs off the table so the rest can take the piss.The sad thing is many people watching are falling for it.  Blame the people on TV rather than the government and the filth at the top who stay at the top by making sure the poor are at the bottom.
