Ah, any handout from the Government is a benefit, you said, Jan.
Yes, right, such as the bailout of the banks in 2008. The bankers got out well on it, their bonuses just keep rolling in notwithstanding top salaries (£300,000+ a year?). Add £1 million in bonus. But hey, chief execs are now on an average of £4.8 million a year.
Ah no, let's not call THAT handout from the Government a "benefit" (or was it not the State who paid?): after all it was a bailout, and the culprits just carry on rubbing us off with their absurd incomes.
So yes, and add to that the "handouts" from EU subsidies (we pay the EU £50 a year and get about half of it back), a part of which goes in subsidies to the aristocratic estate owners with their mansions and stables, house of Windsor et al).
Fact is, some people work for their money, others do ...all for it, and get thousands times more on benefits than a working person does once all income on wages and credits is added up (and spent with tuppence left to show for it).
