Have you ever played the game "The late comer eats the biscuit"?
All 12 men huddle round a digestive whilst wanking. The objective is to come on the biscuit. The last man to come has to eat the biscuit.
Play and enjoy

I can confirm it is just "Soggy Biscuit".
I enjoyed your original analogy as well, PotterLog. I shall be using that in future.

You missed out the part where the labour MP goes into the Daily Mail readers house, steals 2 packs of biscuits from their kitchen and gives the to the benefit monkey, leaving the Mail readers kids to go without a biscuit until payday.  |

While you're busy moaning about the scrounger taking one biscuit, the banker's just fucked off with the other 11. I think that you'd be evidence of the hypothesis being correct. |

So we should just accept the situation?
Heres a couple of examples. I have an uncle in his 40s, worked all his life and recentley lost his job. Despite having a dodgy back and a fucked knee he is desparately trying to find a job, yet he has to survive on job seekers allowance.
My sister has not worked for nearly 20 years, has 6 kids, a husband who only works one day a week yet gets over £1800 a month in handouts and has just booked to go to florida next year, as well as going this year, has a brand new car on mobility (for a 'disability' caused by having her last 2 kids when doctors warned her not to have any more, plus the 6 child was a result of fertility treatment on the NHS), plus the usual iphone, xbox etc.
This is fuck all to do with the 'bankers', that is labours legacy of freebies for the lazy.

i look every day for a job and couldnt buy one if i wanted to although im on an agency and do tend to get 4days a week ten hours a day so im doing ok but i am never safe to say im in work next week which leaves me struggling my familly have allways worked no matter what the job is or what pay it is we jus accept its a job that does pay a little bit but you get people with 5 kids who get everything paid for and then sit around watching jeremy kyle all day or sit on a computer in the comfort of a nice warm home paid for by us the tax payer.
one word for it DISGRACE.

Utter bollocks mate. The point is the money should not be there. In life if you cannot afford something, you dont have it. The same should go for kids. Why should someone CHOOSE to have kids and then have it funded by the rest of us? I will be renewing our season ticket but it has meant cutting back, we have cancelled sky sports, wont be able to go to gigs etc, but why shouldnt the tax payer buy my season ticket? It is something i WANT and choose to have, so it should be given to me free shouldnt it? I can give a near endless list. 3 of the women at work have sons or daughters under 19 who have kids themselves and have never worked. Why the fuck should we pay for them? It has nothing to do with reading the daily mail, these are things i have seen for myself. And the bankers argument is shite. They are two separate issues, both of which need sorting out! |

The point is there are people who con the benefits system but they're not the reason good, honest, working people are being fucked over. The right wing media are telling you that so you keep voting in the Tories who are fucking us over more than any "lazy breeder" could do. You talk about how they get all that money in hand outs, that's just a fraction of the 1.6 million which Osborne dodges in tax a year, but you don't care about that do you? |

The point I'm making is that those kids are there by accident of birth, how can you argue against them having at least the basic essentials? As I also posted, what the parents choose to do with the money is a moral choice and I do agree that using it for luxuries rather than essentials is a serious problem. Maybe money should be replaced with vouchers for food, clothes etc ? |

Benefit exploitation is a drop in the ocean compared to the free money going up, rather than down the ladder. Yorkshire, you could not have given better responses to the original post. ;D

Yorkshire, you could not have given better responses to the original post. ;D I am not disputing that, but i fail to see why the two are always linked? They are completly separate issues. Huddy stated that it is a moral decision for people to decide what they spend their benefits on. Does the same not go for the big corperations? If they can find a way to legally avoid tax (while providing jobs for the economy lets not forget), and they choose that path then do we just have to accept their moral right to do that? |

A couple of points. 1) I dont need the media to tell me what i see infront of my own eyes. 2) I did not, and would never vote tory. Unlike the huge brainwashed majority on here who would blindly vote for Labour or Tories or whoever they have always voted for even if one of their policies was to rape their granny, i'll just judge each party on each individual policy. Some things this government has done i agree with, the majority i don't. 3) Osbourne is a cunt, i could argue that point and the tax issue among the rich needs to be addresed just as much as the benefit issue. |

There is no benefit issue. At least not beyond what there is in any society that has a welfare system. You look anywhere, anywhere in the world and you will find people with your view. It's classic displacement of blame for the hardships one perceives one faces onto the nearest group of other people who are perceived to be "advantaged" or "not contributing". Here in Chile it's the Peruvians (coming and taking our jobs, work illegally, don't pay tax, take all their earnings back to Peru) or those who live in the poorest areas of the city (criminals, lazy). Students are a favourite worldwide. The fact that the "issues" of immigration and benefit fraud actually get given such ridiculously inflated discussion time in the political arena (when compared to their relatively miniscule importance in terms of the economy) is testament to the power of newspapers like the Mail and the willingness of the Tories to exploit people's insecurities about their neighbours and distract them while they line their pockets with wealth that dwarfs anything that benefit fraud could even touch. The two issues don't have to be taken together YP, but if you want to carry on squabbling about the crumbs from that last biscuit, it just seems like you've got your priorities wrong, regardless of what you "see in front of your own eyes." |

It's because the right wing press bang on about benefits and how much is 'stolen' from the taxpayer, whilst that same press tends to avoid those who rip the taxpayer off in astronomical figures (Vodafone, Barclays, Osborne etc) compared to the benefits, that forces those who look for a level playing field to 'compare' the two to show the system up for just what it is. It's a system that is dishonest, self serving, and manipulative in the way it divides people. |
