Oh dear, the benefit scroungers are scared!

Back tracked a bit as I have realised something...

You say you would take any job as you are on benefits at the moment, and you can't find any money to start your own business.

However a quick search of your threads and posts within the last few months reveals:

You spent £90 on a random phone here

You have a mobile phone contract that has another year to go:

You sold your PC, not to buy food but to buy an Apple Macbook instead:

Solicitor fee's are dreadful.

£75 on a new router last week:

Now that's a lot given that benefits are supposed to be what, £60 a week?

Obviously not suffering on benefits are we if we have money to spend on frivolus things like new PC's, Apple Mac's, routers, attached storage, and goodness knows whatever else you buy!

Ninja Edit: Buying a new monitor... must be £400+ at that resolution!

That has never actually happened. Everyone on benefits, even the ones working but on tax credits, have never worked. Neither have their parents, or their parents parents, right back to the time of charlemagne.

You could also make the argument that by paying this tax they are investing in their ability to continue to do business in the UK - educating future employees, having their interests promoted overseas etc. They might not be direct users of anything that their taxes fund if all their medical procedures are pre-planned instead of A&E incidents and their kids might be privately educated, but they will definitely be reaping the rewards of a stable environment and the infrastructure in which to conduct business.

except those 10% aren't just business owners. most are still employees.

No tax is payable on UK gambling winnings. I derive my income from gambling and therefore have an effective tax rate of 0%. This is one of the reasons I took this career choice.

That's not a tax avoidance scheme though, bookies/bucket shops still need to pay tax... its more efficient to collect it in that way and means they can still compete with overseas firms.

Even employees sometimes have to use A&E :confused:

We could reduce their tax burden by giving them undereducated nurses and cleaners that can barely write their name let alone read instructions.
 
Usual benefit hate nothing to see here,

End of day if benefits didn't exist government wouldn't cut your taxes anyway,

You'd still be paying 200k for mp portraits and paying for their heating bills and for wars to go blow up kids.

UMAD?

You went through my posts to make yourself feel better? I really shouldn't be doing this but I want people to see how much of a **** you are and how you shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Notice most of those are the middle of last year, I got made redundant in November 2013.

The phone was an early christmas present from my mother who I haven't seen for 14 years who I recently reconnected with, I didn't feel the need to give my life story to a forum so I just said I "bought" it for myself.

Bills don't just stop just because I've lost my job, people still expect to be paid. T-Mobile were nice enough to drop my contract to bare minimum package so I didn't get screwed on my credit rating.

Sold my PC before I lost my job, I didn't buy a Macbook, but thanks for your input.

Made the fibre post before I lost my job, thanks for your input.

My father moved in with me when he was made redundant, just for your records I have notified the Department for Work and Pensions and they know he is living with me and doesn't give me any money and that I am responsible for half of the rent, etc..

The NAS isn't mine, it is something I maintain for my father, he was complaining about how slow it was so I was looking into getting/building a faster one for "myself" because it's easier than giving people my life story.

The router isn't mine either, my father is looking to upgrade his entertainment center and wanted one router instead of EE one and a separate gigabit switch. FYI I don't pay for internet either, I sponge off his, what a scumbag I am.

As for the monitor my father is buying me a belated christmas and joint early birthday present, he isn't or won't be giving me money, hope that's OK with you, let me know if it isn't and I will tell him not to buy me one.

If you think I can afford all that on £60 a week then you are even more of an idiot than I thought you were. I can show you my bank records if you want, you know just for your peace of mind.

So why did you make the effort of posting a thread about a simple mouse for your new Macbook, and how you had gone down to two supermarkets in your town for a mouse for your non existant Macbook?

It is clear to me you are not on £60 a week. It is clear you are claiming a lot more than that!

And my point was, you obviously have money to spend on starting a business if you have all of those material items.

BUSTED.
 
I'm pretty sure it was you who was the first person to have a bit of a cry about attacking the poster rather than the points earlier in the thread.
