This is how insane the UK is: Somebody who is off work on welfare benefits (incapacity, disability, housing) can now have an income of £25,000 a year Which is MORE than the £22,500, after tax, that some 2 million workers on the living wage earn Why go to work? 🤡

@GoodwinMJ Please educate yourself. Firstly, very few receive that much. Secondly, disability is really, really expensive. As in, lose everything you own and love expensive. Thirdly, why on earth should the disabled live as an underclass? Aren't their lives already hard enough? Finally, so

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ Why should the working class suffer then

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ Big lifestyle change when you become disabled a big mental challenge going from able to not able. Money can't bring the life you had back When you work more than 30 years then become disabled you are entitled to fuck all if you don't kids. I have family members in this situation

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ I think you should educate yourself and stop lecturing people. I know too many people on benefits, some second generation who are absolutely fine, they just cannot be bothered to apply for jobs. They have accommodation and enough money to live. Why work?

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ Yeah my aunt worked her whole life just got cancer and a double mastectomy and recieved PIP why work? You people are vile 🤡

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ i'd swap bodies with any ableist immediately! then let's see them trying to function with my car crash of a body (several stage 4 cancers, ibs, crohn's, fibromyalgia, bad bouts of vertigo sickness, kidney damage, pre diabetic, liver issues, migraines, the list goes on)

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ I’d probably blame the low minimum wage than start digging at a disadvantaged disabled person. They struggle just as much as our pensioners.

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ For the genuine claiments yes

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ I agree with most of this, but there are loads of fat people on disability allowance and people with adhd, depression and mild autism or whatever who actually could work and would be healthier and happier if they did.. this allowance should be for those who physically cannot work

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ I have a landlord friend that exclusively lets to benefits tenants. His highest earning tenant gets £7k per month, tax free in benefits.

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ They’re not interested in educating themselves, they know this already. It just doesn’t fit with their attempts to sow discord between us all so that we forget who the real danger to our quality of life is, the wealthy.

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ Low income households still get UC credit. He's just stirring up. The way the system is setup, it takes from the receivers and puts it into those positioned to benefit from it. For instance wealthy landlords. Closer study shows who reaps the taxpayers money. Not the poor/disabled

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ I seriously doubt if anyone who is healthy and working would rather be entitled to that amount of disability benefit.

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ seen it first hand, neighbour, 2 family members, house, car, vouchers, taxis and enough disposable income to have a holiday. There are people who do need more money for electric medical equipment etc but they are few. If they earn more than workers where is it coming from?

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ Thank you Cesca. For some all the see is the money and ignore the constant suffering and associated costs thereof that accompanies disabilities.

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ Thank you for saying what I was trying to

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ Most disabled people work. Many of those who claim to be 'disabled' are self-inflicted. It isn't a disability to eat yourself ill.

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ You'd probably be surprised at the affordability on housing applications that are on this... some applications come in with almost 40k in benefits

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ He certainly sounds like it

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ It’s true love

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ So its the tax payers that have to be slaves!

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ I know someone who is registered disabled due to “anxiety” and trust me ain’t doing that bad at all.

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ Yes hope he breaks a leg and a face haha

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ Very few is more than none, and none is the number who should be receiving that level of support.

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ Educate yourself. The argentinian model suggests a third of benefit claimants can work and choose not to. Human nature is that many are just lazy fuck wits who game the system.

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ Who do workers have to subsidise the lifestyles of people that Coild work ?

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ My auntie had Alzh's & heart failure. I gave up career to care 4her. I went from 4K/mo to 300/mo. We lived off auntie's pensions. BUT I've seen ppl faking illness & getting mobility cars, rent paid, child benefit, council tax relief & heating allowance. How they get away with it

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ theres a lot of people out there that are pretending to be disabled for the money, i think thats why a lot of people get angry, its a lot easier for someone to pretend they have mental health problems than physical problems, so many people are taking advantage of the system

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ Why should someone working 45 hour weeks live worse off given the stress and cost of travel than someone who doesn’t work at all… we can worry about that once we’ve fixed our wage issue otherwise there wont be a country.

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ What exactly is disabled expenditure? My ex has no disabled expediture, yet wage equivalent benefits.

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ If you're disabled and cannot earn you should not get more welfare than you need.

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ If you think many of these people are genuinely disabled you don’t know the real situation. Most have objectively unverifiable ‘disability’ like supposed back injuries, CRPS, depression and anxiety. It is not expensive to sit at home spending taxpayer’s money.

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ I see that but when they're getting 25k because they've sniffed themselves into a cabbage, I got 0 respect.

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ Sure, but what about all the grifters who are lying?

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ Ridiculous, its only right if we all stop working and go on dla

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ Another one who believes people who work should get let money than the sick,lame and lazy.

@lacescael @GoodwinMJ “Educate yourself”. The cry of the self righteous. Anybody who kept reading thinking they might find something insightful after those two words is more of an idiot than she is.
