Yeah, I hate people who take the system for a ride. Scum. However, there are genuine cases, people who have lost their jobs, people who require care, etc... And I am perfectly happy for them to collect welfare.
But it annoys me when people take advantage. A few months ago I saw a lad I went to school with, used to be one of the cool kids, you know the kind. Any way my friend asked him what he does now. He replied with "Oh, I'm a bricklayer, cash in hand though" the conversation went on and it turned out he was living in a flat provided by the council and collecting job seekers allowance (about £60 a week) and he worked full time cash in hand so he didn't lose them.
I was furious.
