Talk about putting your foot in it.

I guess this beats 'I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow in the knee.'

He's got one foot in the grave.

Well I guess he's taken the first step to unemployment

Give it a few months until he realise what his done. He will be kicking himself over it.

The doctors should put his foot on a big stick and kick him up the arse with it.

No he's right.

That really is two words.

i heard about this, the government did respond saying that him losing a foot does not automatically mean he will get benefits and once he comes out of hospital he will be reassessed lol

I wonder which kind sole will foot the bill for his medical costs.

Some great replies

It doesn't even make sense. It would be great if they declined him. What a complete plonker.

Did he think they wouldn't realise what was afoot?

...I'll get my coat.

On a more serious note why didn't he want to work? What were his initial medical complaints? Why was he expected to work at age 56?

The guy wouldn't have done this if society wasn't forcing people with genuine medical conditions from going back to work due to the idiots that cheat the system.

Who knows, but it must have cost an arm or a leg.........

....or a foot.

why!?

the thought of working in poundland or tesco for free was evidently too much to bare

Without a foot to stand on he can do a desk job.

I just cannot believe that I had not thought of this idea myself, if I spell anything wrong it's because I only have stubs for hands now. My fingers are in the oven on gas mark 5.

Well he failed to get legless.
