  1. It seems to run in families. The parents don’t pass on the work ethic to the children. There’s a large sub-culture in this country who live off the system and top it up with the proceeds of crime and growing cannabis in the loft - amongst other things.

  3. Perfidia does not fit with your persona Ben In Spanish it means faithlessness, treachery or betrayal, I am sure that none of those represent our Ben

  4. Whether it is called dole, allowances or universal credit governments of all colours have mucked and messed around with the benefits system, in essence all they do is change the name.

  5. I personally know of some people who have not worked for more than twenty years & do quite nicely thank you very much. I read this morning that Labour if in power would scrap UC. To replace it with what ? Sounds like just another vote catcher aimed at the idle lazy. Able people should not be in a position to turn down work. No work, no benefits

  6. Nice tune Ben. I don't recall hearing the Shads version. It's very relaxed. The one I knew best was the Ventures rather more frantic version: Perfidia has been recorded by hundreds of artists.. but the other one I recall is Glenn Miller's.

  7. Precisely, and as is repeated frequently, though hardly ever heard.. many of those claiming universal credit are working.. often in several jobs, trying to make ends meet. If we worried as much about tax evasion, and changed many of the loopholes which allow for legal but extremely distasteful tax avoidance, we would save far more money than we do by chasing the very small percentage of benefit claimants who are fraudsters.
