I wouldnβt be surprised, with this law and order bill the our Home Secretary is pushing through parliament today. Obviously only boaters without a home mooring.π i'll be one of those again soon. Yaaay! They did the 1995 Act specially for me to mark the first yar living aboard so I wouldn't be surprised if they do it again. So itβs all your fault.

Quite right too, the unsightly beggars. They carry diseases you know. i'm shocked by beggars because they often have better shoes than me. I see photos of asylum seekers on dinghies crossing the English Channel and they all have better mobile phones than my Nokia 6230i

It is a worry when wogs in government complain about the wogs.
The wogs start at Calais ! As someone said.
It is a Terrible Situation.
Much like the weather it will get worse before it gets better.
I wonder if this is was the Braver Man cunt woman is getting at. Its the wogs living in tents! They have fantastic houses back in their own countries they just come here to cause trouble and get money while sending it back to their wives and dozens of children..
Get rid of the furriners ! British passports only !
Vote Farridge !
( no... don',t do that)
Clear them wogs though or we will have rivers of blood.
Nobody likes boating in blood. Well I suppose it might be an interesting change.

Supporting people on the 'poverty line' with extra benefits is not always the thing to do. Someone somewhere has to draw the line, and when it is drawn at a level that penalises people on low incomes who do not qualify, yet pay some tax that leaves very much behind those who fall below the line, yet exceed the level by a considerable amount after taking in tax credits, pension credits, rent allowance and council tax exemption. There is a veritable industry paid for by government helping claimants to squeeze every possible penny out of a disorganised welfare system. I find it difficult to support food banks when one sees the individuals get out of their cars and spend 5 mins finishing their cigarettes before entering. And again, if there is so much poverty in this country, why are so many people willing to risk life and limb to get here? 19 billion unclaimed! People need help to claim, some lack understanding, some are illiterate etc etc. New analysis by Policy in Practice finds that the total amount of unclaimed income-related benefits and social tariffs is now Β£18.7 billion a year.1 May 2023 policyinpractice.co.uk/new-analysis-missing-out-19-billion-of-support-goes-unclaimed-each-year/#:~:text=New%20analysis%20by%20Policy%20in,%C2%A318.7%20billion%20a%20year.

We should give everyone a chance to repent in a tent.

I've already looked into it but when I told the others at the training course that I was not looking to fill my own pockets they looked at me like I was some sort of cunt.
Maybe they were right !

Possibly, I mean I wouldn't even know how to work a dinghy and the only part of an articulated lorry I've ever worked out how to travel in is the bit at the front.

Which all goes to show how hopelessly inefficient and complicated the benefit systems are. if things were simpler, there would not be the need for so many civil servants to administer them, or the need for all the assistants to help claim. these people could be better employed doing something to help economic growth, and those taxes would benefit all the country.

I suspect the reality is likely that the unclaimed benefit figures are simply a PR exercise to show how 'pampered' the worst-off in society truly are, and the benefits in question designed so that only a vanishingly small percentage of claimants are actually entitled to them.
Still, it could be ignorance and apathy. I once worked for a multinational company whose billing practices were so arcane that only a very small percentage of people employed in the customer-facing department actually understood it, much less be able to explain how it worked.
