Again, like I said: This is the easiest thing in the world for a student who never plans to work at McDonalds or anywhere else like that to say.

I work at Halfords. It's not that much more dignified and I hate it, but it's still a job so I hold on to it. And I found it all by myself.
:
sure ain't. putting food on the table, clothing your family and trying to stay afloat with the gas, electricity and water bills alongside your rent/mortgage, not to mention keeping your home livable by hiring out plumbers, electricians, locksmiths, plasterers and so on to fix and replace certain elements, unless you have insurance which, of course, you have to pay for too. got a car? well don't forget car insurance, road tax, regular MOT tests, fuel which just keeps rising and rising in price, and breakdown cover might be a good idea. oh, and that £40 computer game your kids have been bugging you for.
that's family life, no exaggeration. if anything, i've left a lot of stuff out. so yeah, it must be a grand life not having a job and getting by on government money, juggling your bills and deciding which ones you think you can get away with not paying for this week, just so you can keep your head above water. driving a car with an expired tax disc and desperate for an MOT, but not yet because you simply can't afford it. maybe next week. or the week after. you just hope to god you don't get pulled over by the police.

Hey, guess what? People who have jobs have to pay for all that stuff too, except the taxes are higher 'cause you have to pay for the ones who haven't.
I also have to maintain a car, and yes it is damned expensive, so don't think I don't know about these things. Beside the point, as the primary uses for my car are taking me to work and taking me to Uni. I don't get why someone unemployed needs a car so damned much in the first place.
And also, my dad got made redundant at the start of the recession, and in his mid 50s and with a little intuition, has found himself employment again, without even the use of jobseekers. He did this by learning, from scratch, how to program apps for the iPhone and iPad, and inquiring permission from a web developer if he'd like his database made into an application. He accepted and the app is a success, and brings in a nice bit of money. You can't tell me that's not determination.
Hell, maybe I do sound conservative. Maybe I'm just sick of the fact that my family and I work pretty hard, and every day I hear of innocent people around my area getting robbed and stabbed to death by dole-scum. Maybe I'm sick of seeing them spending their government money on fags and 'tricking out' their cars to look like shit, and having their bodies covered in tattoos - and it's exactly these kinds of people who are taking part in the riots.
And when some fucking waster crashes their car after driving like a dickhead, turns out to be uninsured, and the other poor sod gets fucked. I just don't think I've met more than one agreeable person on the dole - maybe it's the area in which I live. And even having seen this kind of poverty a lot personally, I think these people need to open their eyes and look elsewhere in the world, so they can see what true poverty
really is, and how lucky they are.
And oh yeah,
