On the background I got a bit of DM Porn on the telly, this "Life on benfits: Britian on the Dole" thing.
I don't get why people are well jell of that? They're living in terrible conditions, wouldn't wanna live like that for live-nor-money. They all got fuck all really, and they all got so much debt that their fuck all turns to fuck all before they even press the withdraw button.

They aren't doing some half stupid shit though, like messuring the room by one bloke putting the messuring tape on the floor and the other one on the other side up against the wall whilst standing. Or getting tattoos. Or getting this ghost-hunter specialist person in.

I think the thing that I find really thick about the whole thing though is that you can't move out if you've got a debt, and their debts are adding up 'cus they can't move out.

anyone with more than 20,000 in debt that is neither mortgage or student loan should be locked up until the benefits they would be getting paid it off.
Given enough food to survive and maybe a telly, all funded from what their benefits would have been. Probably need to freeze the interest as well.
if they don't like that, gas them.
