Let me pin this: if you're "gender critical", transphobic, ableist, racist, sexist, "anti-gender", pro-austerity, or a raging Tory, then I haven't any time for you & you'll probably end up blocked. Bye now! (Reposted to dump certain blocked quote-tweeters.)

So I’m at the laundry mat right now. I wanna ask all of you something. And be honest. This lady came and dropped off over 12 different loads in the washer and dryer and left. People were waiting, including myself for the dryers. So when her clothes were done, I waited 40 more mins and took them out. There were no other dryers available. Then when she came back, it was 30 mins after I took them out, and she flipped out on me. Am I in the wrong? Please repost this because I want everyone’s outlook on this.

I wouldn't wish others to have less because it won't lead to you having more.

But the money is never yours, it goes straight to the landlords and back to the council, the amounts look nice for one second... - the money you get to live on AND paying all your bills are a drop in the ocean of debts & desperations.

Fraser Nelson is the Editor of the rightwing Spectator publication, so I wouldn’t expect anything different from him.

And nothing is "just handed over" in the benefits system. Who's been reading the Daily mail?

Fraser Nelson opining on welfare payments is like Marie Antoinette going into the patisserie business...

And where does it go? off-shore tax havens? No, every penny goes straight back into the economy.

Rent. The bulk of any benefit payout goes to landlords.

Your landlord gets the rent, not you.

My friend’s son has ME and can’t work. He gets £28/week PIP. Because he still lives with his parents. That’s all he gets. His parents pick up the rest of the tab.

How/why does that Nelson get wheeled out with such tedious frequency? Do the runners/bookers #bbcR4Today production staff just have a very short list of regulars? Or is he always available &'ll agree to anything so long as there's a taxi to pick him up & run him home afterwards?

That would include housing benefit and high rate WCA but must live in London for that much. People forget that UC includes housing which used to be separate. That is why many working people can still claim UC.

He probably used figures for someone getting Pip on top of ESA? Even then, it seems high, and I suspect most of that amount if awarded would be paying care staff. Pip is notoriously difficult to get.

Yes he’s picked the highest possible combination which most people are unable to get, and probably researched the programme with DWP staff, not disabled people themselves. Popularity journalism more akin to the Sun or the Mail. What has happened to @Channel4 dispatches? Shocking

This misrepresention is so dishonest - the same as when Mel Stride grossly inflated what people could get on PIP. #benefits #wato #c4dispatches #r4today
