Stealing, drug dealing, claiming benefits (housing & jsa) and driving without a license or insurance.
For years this is what was done to get by. But one day it was decided going legit may be better.
Over the years since. Having worked in high and low paid jobs, paid a lot of taxes, got a licence and insured vehicles.
It seems to me no matter how good anyone is. they seem to be paying a lot to survive (ok so they have some nicer things than some poorer people) but the cost of renting a house, car insurance, road tax, council tax, TV license, etc....
Is so high it seems it was better off years back when it wasn't bothered about and you got £40 pw pocket money
+ Your rent paid for you.
Do you think the law abiding / Tax paying people of Britain pay too much to support the less fortunate?

i dont mean the elderly or disabled.
but i know what you mean. like when there was a petrol crisis and the prices shot up - they never came down that low after and then they just keep adding more to the price over time.

I can almost guarantee that if every unemployed person in the UK , even the disabled ones and very elderly, got a job, and paid their taxes, rent etc we would not get a single penny knocked off our tax, NI, licence, car tax etc. When is the last time that anything dropped significantly in price?

I worked many years for the same company aand have come out with what would be regarded as a decent pension, but I see around me some people (a minority) who have worked the system for 30 years and are actually better off than I am and I am still paying tax
