You Work Or You Die

In retrospect I shan't comment too much on the London riots, as I will probably end up spewing a load of racist, elitist drivel. But I read a lot of articles about it at the time and one that I particularly remember was saying something about the government running out of money to give people - but in more intellectual terms. 

Of course the government is running out of money. Have you seen the teenage mothers trolling the streets? Have you seen the schoolkids rampage McDonald's killing time before they go home to their council flats? Every week there is an article on the DailyMail or whatever highlighting some stupid retard who is living off the government in a stupid retarded way. There was the 29 year old guy who was a grandfather because his 14 or 15 year old daughter had a baby, the guy who's had 13 children with 11 women, the mother who's proud of her daughter who took sexy pictures at 12 and is pregnant at 15. What else is new? Where is the money to raise these children who will most likely be working-class/unemployed for the rest of their lives and breed several more children going to come from? The government. The taxes. I've only lived here a short while and contributed monetarily to this country in a very small way, in sales tax and public transport and international student fees, but can you imagine how the people who have grown up and worked here their entire lives paying for these people feel? They must be incensed! I'm incensed just living around these people, steeling my ears shut as they scream on the bus and tube, ram against me on the street, throw eggs at each other in the cafe I'm sitting in. 

This isn't quite what I'm used to at all. You don't get a free house from the government if you have a baby where I come from. You don't get money to do nothing at all. You work or you die. No handouts for you. Unless you're Malay.. which I'm not so whatev.

I end with two more mini news headline snippets.

1. This Somalian family who came here seeking refugee were offered a large house outside London with a £1k+ rent to live in, but they rejected it because they wanted to live in London near their friends, so now they have an £8k mansion in Hampstead, a rather posh area. Say wha?

2. This woman has decided she doesn't have anything better to do with her life but be fat, so she is too overweight to work and keeps chugging more food to get fatter. Who's paying for this? No prizes for the right guess. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2026964/Susanne-Emans-bid-worlds-fattest-woman-52st-mother-2-supersizing.html
