Add to this millions both British and foreign who have never paid ANY income tax or NI but all getting benefits , subsidised or free housing, free medical care, free schools etc, you see a hige black hole forming.
The system was doomed from day one, the only way it could have worked is if people could not take out more than they had put in, and those who paid nowt in got nothing out, IE the FAIR and just system.
Here you go my dear friend, read it and weep

the system is doomed because there are too many people, also what about the £50million per DAY we waste being part of the EU "club" that would go a long way in our own country instead of being wasted by the Eurocrats on silly projects.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
