Last time I spoke to you, you was on the dole and being classed as a carer. So don't go calling people for claiming benefits they have a right to they are British after all.

No, I wasnt.

I have never been on the dole. I did however have to give up work for the time being to care for my disabled child.

Having to quit because you are a single parent to a disabled child, is not the same as choosing to work less to claim benefits. (and nor am i the one who is going around calling for the abolition of all benefits, whilst claiming myself.)

Please try and get your facts straight before trying to score internet points over somebody. Makes you look like a silly billy.

If you are not working, you are on some sort of benefits, who was paying your bills? Dole = all the range of benefits you can get in my eyes

No I meant post what he's said about claiming benefits and complaining about others that do so in a drunken haze.

oh, its on another forum I'll probably get banned for linking to. But he posted how he chooses to work part time, so he can claim housing benefit etc, as working full time he wuld be no better off so why shouldn't he play the system.

Oh dear DD :p.



I think I'm right in saying that initially the loss of revenue would hit the government hard, but in the long term it would save money due to there being less cigarette related healthcare needed. I'll try and find the figures..

iirc from the figures they bring in around 9 billion pounds a year in tax.

smoking related health care was around 2-5 billion.



If you banned smoking all those people would still be sick, but you'd be getting any money from the tax on cigarettes to pay for it + the shortfall in revenue anyway.

So you'd have to raise an extra £9 billion in other taxes, so long story short, ban smoking and non smokers will have to pay more tax.

But back on topic. Very sad news. Always terrible when it's an entire family that passes :-( Selfish act. (Obviously I know nothing of the family, just assuming it's tragic rather than criminally related).

I shudder to think what mental state a person must be in to do something like this. :(

Yeah which is why I said it was long term, eventually smoking related diseases would virtually die out.

No, because there wouldn't be a deficit eventually.

yes there would the 4 billion + "profit" the government makes.


even if you remove all smoking related costs you're still collecting 4 billion + less tax.


that needs to be made up elsewhere.
