The people I referred to in the post though, make an art-form out of being on the dole, and I am not kidding when I say they spend most of the day in our local Spoons.<br /><br />Regarding the minority groups you describe using derogatory names. Sure they are often unpopular, sometimes impoverished, but they are never powerless. I don't have a problem regarding genuine assylum seekers, and I won't rise to the bait regarding the other two groups.<br /><br />We can all make a big show out of being "outraged"!Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-18697693636147995082014-01-02T20:31:17.433+00:002014-01-02T20:31:17.433+00:00the small but vociferous contingent who spend the ...<i>the small but vociferous contingent who spend the entire day in there, courtesy of the tax payer, will get no sympathy from me</i><br /><br />Any other unpopular, impoverished and powerless groups you'd like to have a pop at?

It's a thousand times harder to claim now - whatever your circumstances are - and it's only going to get harder. (I was born in a country without beggars (cheers, Maggie); my children were born in a country without food banks.)
