British - Stupidest nation in Europe [127]
it is so easy for a single working person in a flat share to get on their high horse about being self supporting though.
I am a single mother, but did not choose it as a lifestyle, I have my own business, car etc., even paid a mortgage at one point.
It is hard work of course. I would love to be free of the state but things seem to be arranged in such a way as to make this impossible but for the highest earners.
It's about control, along with the CCTV cameras and the nanny state. The government doesn't want people to be independent of them IMHO.
Some young women from other countries don't see it that way, so come on over to take advantage of the benefits system, along with plenty of stupid homegrown women who can't see further than their next benefit payment.
so wasting your energy whinging about the subjects of this social control experiment is counter productive, and certainly a waste of your own time and energy.
In the greater scheme of things it is not even that much money, and it is certainly not yours.
Its all too simplistic to point to single mothers and declare that they are the problem.
I am seriously thinking of leaving the country to get away from this shi.t.
