Benefits, my honest view.

I think decent, hardworking men and women all over the country are becoming increasingly irritated with indolent scroungers who spend their days doing sod all, living off the back of actual hardworking taxpayers.

It is an insult.

Let me be abundantly clear. Of course, there needs to be a proper safety net for those who need the help - the genuinely ill/disabled, and those who have fallen on hard times who require support to bring them back into the workplace.

But there are vast numbers who are taking the piss, to be quite frank. Whether through outright fraud, or simply taking advantage of a ridiculously inept system.

23 per cent of the working-age population now in receipt of some form of benefits - this is outrageous. It is FAR too high.

Many on for mental health related issues...

‘New Telegraph analysis of government data found the number of people claiming Pip for “anxiety disorders” and “anxiety and depressive disorders” has doubled from 230,667 in 2020 to 461,826 in January this year.’

It's the new 'bad back'.

Half a million people. This is INSANITY. It simply has to be brutally slashed down.

Foreign national households claimed almost one billion in benefits in March - nearly a sixth of the month’s Universal Credit payments. Just think about that...

One billion a year in Universal Credit on refugee households. It is absolutely mental that we are paying illegal migrants benefits. And we wonder why they keep coming?!

We cannot afford this. I don’t know how else to say this - WE ARE BROKE.

How can we fix it? Labour is unable, the Tories seem unwilling, and Reform inexplicably wants to expand the welfare state - even paying foreigners on benefits to have more children.

Stop benefits for foreign nationals, other than those who have contributed for 10+ years, and get these millions of healthy Brits back to work.

An immediate ban on illegal migrants claiming benefits. If you arrived illegally, you don't get a penny (other than a one-way plane ticket home).

The two-child cap MUST stay. Reform, chasing votes, wants to lift it. This is filthy politics. No, it must stay at two.

What message are we sending to youngsters? Do sod all and you’ll get rewarded for it?

We must make work pay. If you do a proper day’s work, you should ALWAYS be significantly better off than if you were to claim benefits.

The benefits system is a a sprawling, bloated trap - encouraging dependency, punishing work, and bleeding the country dry.

Britain doesn’t need mass immigration. It needs to get the British working.

I’ll get insulted and abused for stating these undeniable facts, but it’s true and we all know it - politicians should have the courage to say so.

We must end the madness. Work must be rewarded. Responsibility must return.

@ajm1991_ You obviously don’t know anything about football 2nd half .was a training session for us. And yes I was there.

[Adrian Dickinson @adickinson64]

@leedsrhinos time for Rohan to go me thinks. Totally embarrassing this.

[Adrian Dickinson @adickinson64]

@OliverMedd7 100% correct.

[Mark Ford @Markford64LUFC]

One thing is clear after the Newcastle game. If #lufc need a new manager, coach, talent scout, director of football etc there is no shortage of massively qualified candidates among the twitter fan base. No problem at all. 🤷‍♂️😕😜

[Adrian Dickinson @adickinson64]

@marshyleeds Cos some people are clueless on the game of football!!

[Adrian Dickinson @adickinson64]

@Rod_Studd @RLBarrieMc10 @M_Shaw1 Pundits on sky sports talking it up to keep in a job me thinks. Leeds Cas on Saturday first half was a embarrassment to the game of rugby league and I am a Leeds STH!!!

[Adrian Dickinson @adickinson64]

@Rod_Studd @RLBarrieMc10 @M_Shaw1 The clubs have got it totally wrong then. Game is on its knees#rfl

[Adrian Dickinson @adickinson64]

@leedsrhinos Game is gone. No penalty at the time but match review see it differently.Must be our referee’s are not good enough.Public pay their money to watch top players play and not sat in the stand

[Adrian Dickinson @adickinson64]

What a country we live in - Beverley racecourse cancel Mondays meeting on the potential weather forecast of being hot. The country is over run by snow flakes. God help us!!!

[Joe Bullivant 🎗 @JoeBullivant]

@TheRFL @Betfred @SuperLeague Can’t think of any other sports that’s sees team lose they’re top players week in week out to suspensions, no wonder the games dieing

[Meatball @Arseman69]

@ow1906 @TheRFL @Betfred @SuperLeague The wonder why no one attends games anymore when players are getting banned for things that weren't even deemed a penalty on the night even though the video ref had a look.

[owen @ow1906]

@TheRFL @Betfred @SuperLeague Only sport in the world obsessed with ruining the game by banning people every week.

[Adrian Dickinson @adickinson64]

I completely agree

[Joe Burgess @JoeBurgess1]

Our game has gone dog shit, needs sorting

[Adrian Dickinson @adickinson64]

@alexsimmonstv For me the games https://t.co/eQl2mwu2bP only have to look at the attendances. Going back 10/20 years,grounds were packed.

[Barrie McDermott 🏉 @RLBarrieMc10]

I like to think I have a balanced view of RL literally experienced 1000’s & 1000’s of games at all levels in 40 yrs of course I played in a different era a brutal era I understand the game has to evolve but it’s getting ridiculous now some of the suspensions are just pathetic…

[Joshua Charnley @Joshuacharnley]

Can someone from the RFL call me and explain why I'm banned for 2 games?? 🤦🏼‍♂️
