Went to the walk in last week and a sign on the wall said " Please return any crutches/sticks as we have a shortage", was sat at Rossy shops the day after and watched a woman stick the stick under her arm and run for the bus :laugh: :laugh: , fake Britain strikes, seen 3 today in Homies who don`t need a crutch, tut tut! Benefits my arse!

Always remember been in the queue in Raby Road Post Office many years ago. Bloke in front of me got his benefits and then walked out, completely forgetting his walking stick, which was propped up against the counter in front of me. Woman behind counter left her seat and ran out in the street to shout him back, but he was nowhere to be seen. No problem with the bloke getting something for nothing though, probably no suitable jobs for him to do anyway. Probably had his benefits cut since if that makes people feel better, yeah he was getting something for nothing, its no fun living on benefits believe me, if its that good people in work could always pack their job in and give it a try.

1) I concur.
2) Only the shysters.
C) Thou (if you pay taxes) and I fund them! Would you lend someone £200 and not ask for it back?

Re read my post Mr PIN. I fully believe in the NHS and I will need it. It's the Shysters, Scroungers and Nerdowells, etc who drain important resources that I have disagreement with.

They are a tiny amount of what the NHS spends on. The media would have you believe otherwise though. The real culprits are the private firms overcharging for shit services, and the pharma companies demanding stupid prices.

I agree with that Mr PIN. Have a look at the White Elephant in the Metropolis. PFI, then all the important Medical services moved from the Metropolis to Darlo or Durham. Hospital???? or glorified rest home?????/ Unfortunately I kid ye not.
