My idea of a hero is somebody who would risk their life for someone else.
I didn’t realise there was any other kind of hero until I read this news item. :roll:12 December, 2010 at 7:29 pm #456620You’re my hero ♥

there is nothing heroic in taking benefits from an already struggling country to send out of said country to another. Earn their money and send it back by all means, if they can afford to be sending money gained from benefits then they are A being given too much and this should be addressed with immediate effect and B it should be stopped and not glorified, sack harman!

RUBBISH !
If a claimant of benefit decides to go without certain things or commodities and use that money for other reasons of a personal nature, that is a very honourable thing to do. Many people in this country do just that every single day. People on benefits may have to choose from one week to the next, wholesome good food or having the heating on extra in this cold climate. These people are obviously entitled to these benefits, who on this earth are you to judge what they use that money for? If i was to sit cold in my home everyday or choose to go without a meal so that i could use the money for a good cause, what has it to do with you?

Sorry Gazlan i cant agree, benefits should be a bare essential the absolute basics to survive on, not enough to smoke drink or save or give away, we dont have a god given right to be given anything, we should earn it, we are and should be responsible for ourselves not expect the government / tax payers to keep us. If they want to earn their money and give it away fine. If they are happy to not have heating so they can give it away then they don’t actually need the money to heat their home or only need enough to eat everyday if they can do that to send it away they can do it every week.
That applies to everyone on benefits not only immigrants btw12 December, 2010 at 8:29 pm #456627It’s odd you talk of God, i and every soul in this country has every right to claim back their sovereignity that was taken from them the second they were born, by who? By the very legislators who govern how much ” the law says you need to live on ” . . . Again i say rubbish.
people on these benefits spend a bigger proportion of their income in taxes than most, whether the taxes are direct or indirect is neither here nor there. If i fit the criteria for claiming benefits i will spend that money how i so choose, if that happens to benefit a good and just cause then i say mind your business !12 December, 2010 at 8:29 pm #456628Benefits which the word itself denotes should be help/aid not a form of employment or way of life, it should be a basic and temporary crutch to those in short term need.
