you wont get any arguements from me about benefits, i was unemployed for 8 years 1990-1998 couldnt get a job, wanted a job, but couldnt get one, i couldnt even get an interview for a job, i did all the training schemes, NVQ "Wholesaling & Warehousing"-level 1, fork lift licence, all the "restart" courses etc.etc. but still couldnt get a job.

the old(1960s/1970s) benefit system was ok, you couldnt take out what you hadnt put in!, you had to pay NI and Taxes for 2-3 years before you could make a claim.

I know a man who managed just that. Turns out his methods weren't very popular. He did write a very good book though, "Mein Kampf"
