Do you believe British society is basically fair, giving rewards to the deserved, or basically unfair, more like a postcode lottery?
Give reasons for a Best Answer.
Does David Beckham deserve his millions? Or the Queen and Prince Charlie?

Britain is basically fair, if you put in the work you can reap the benefits. And if you can't have the benefits here the skills and qualifications you can gain in this country will allow you to gain the rewards in another country.
Everyman and his dog sits on their **** complaining things aren't fair. If people really think things are that bad in this country why don't you try being an average joe in Somalia or Afghanistan see how unfair life is here then.

I do not agree with people of that stature being given handouts of millions because lets face it - kicking a football round a field compared with lets say, an oil rig worker or a soldier who puts his life on the line for his country....no comparison.
It's unfair that so many people, like most of us on here I'm sure, who work their b*llocks off all their lives, and get taxed to high heavens, don't have a pension, get treated with complete disrespect and disregard. This veers towards a recent post about Politicians and their unjustifyable job. A nice fat pension, and 2 or more houses of which they get ALL their tax back on - they'll never know what it's like to be hard up, or have any serious problems.
I have very very little respect for this country. Whatever happened to pride of the UK and being as one? It's all one sided and we're all fighting for our rights to our own country (when immigrants get 1st class service and they f*ck us all off). It's WRONG.
I have SO many other issues with this but I won't go on because I wouldn't stop.

I think this country has a very definate class divide. I think i am doing ok because i am a single parent who works, drives a decent car, and although my home is rented it is nice. I go on holiday every summer and can afford what i need in life for me and my babe.....However, we as a society do not know how the other half live except for what we see on telly. How are we supposed to feel when 'they' can afford to purchase belts for thousands of pounds or fly accross the world to have their hair done....The 'wags' are a prime example what are they given all their money for...i think it is just modern day prostitution and as for the Royalty i think it should be abolished, we have children starving and poor in this country and yet we still support this one family and keep them lavishly...what do they do for us?????/

I could sit here all day and give reasons-- As for the Beckhams so what if theyve got millions, Theyve worked for it.
Yes I think everyone deserves to be rewarded for hard work, why not?

It's unfair. I mean, they can't even own their own property. They work and work and the government takes a ton away in taxes. Their unemployment rate is pretty high too.

UNFAIR
The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
The country is over populated thanks to the government letting in sooooo many foreigners to live here.
EVERYTHING is taxed twice so there is less and less of MY hard earned cash going in my back pocket.
There is going to be a civil war soon and i cant wait..
All politicians are a bunch of tossers
