You know, as I write this, I am kinda on benefits in two different countries and have also dodged tax in two different countries in the last few weeks. There are no things to be proud of nor are they anything to be ashamed of. The money that "scum" like me costs the government is the equivalent to having a pish in Loch Lomond. In fact it's worse than that because I go swimming in Loch Lomond sometimes and, deep down, I'm a very selfish man and don't want to swim in your pish.

So while we spend £1billion a year on the illegal war in Iraq, the "energy industry" goes out of it's way to take turns raising prices while you lot fork out for their over priced black oil AND the war which was started so we can get more of it. We have billionaires, millionaires and "British" companies that have so many offshore accounts and accountants scouring the world for loopholes in tax law so that even someone who's spent most their adult life watching...

You only got it as a special offer from a pack of Coco Pops anyway. No great loss.

edit to add:

I've had a few people ask about the 13 week interview in the last few weeks. I guess this credit crunch piss means a few more will be signing on more often and for longer. The 13 week interview is not designed to be something that accuses you of doing fuck all. It's there to help you. To look at your job search and re-analyze it. Just go in and don't worry about it. Here a few phrases to help you on your thirteen week interview

"No-one seems to be hiring just now"
"I'm looking to expand what I'm looking for"
"I've even started looking at bar work or something to tide me over"
"Do you have any information on any training courses I could apply for?"

Also, just found this one out, if you're over 25 go to the relevant website and find out if you're due tax credits. Just googling tax credits will take you to the page. Always worth a swatch.

To get tax xredits dont u need to be in work for atleast 30 hours a week and earn like nothing the previouys year??

some doofus in my work gets an extra £50 a week for doin fuck all, just because he was on the dole for 2 years and is over 25, highly unfair imo when i have to do lots of overtime to make up the same wage.

IDC anyway, love u mick.

[Witch]

you need to earn below a certain amount to qualify for tax credits, i cant remember the threshold for it, you do need to be over 25, or have a kid though to qualift.

If you're over 25 then you need to work more than 30 hours a week.

If you've got a wean or are on any benefits then its 16 hours a week.

A couple of lassies at uni claim, really helps them out. i just don't work enough hours, but as soon as I do I'll be claiming because it's a wee fortune.
