I'm sick of seeing people who've never worked a day in their lives getting handed everything on a plate while my own kid is struggling to find a decent apprenticeship. It's a joke, the benefits system is broken and it's time someone did something about it. I've been driving a lorry for thirty years, paying my taxes, and I'm fed up with seeing my money being wasted on people who don't deserve it.
I'd change the whole system so that people who've contributed get priority, it's simple. If you've worked and paid in, you should get help when you need it, but if you've never lifted a finger, don't expect a free ride. I'm not saying we should be heartless, but we need to look after our own first. I've seen it time and time again, people coming over here, getting benefits straight away, and it's just not fair on people like me who've been paying in for years.
