There's something deeply unpleasant about a culture which will happily inconvenience, humiliate and occasionally kill thousands of innocent people in order to ensure a relative handful of chancers don't get a few extra quid a week. People on the right claim on the one hand to love Britain and British people whilst on the other they're utterly convinced that most of their neighbours are conniving layabouts desperate for an opportunity to play the system
I’ve said here before… Small C conservatives exploit the system more than any other demographic.
I know 3 families that own homes, bought second homes, moved their kids into the second home, and the state is paying the mortgage for that home as the Tories stopped building state housing.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. It’s bad for society, but good for Capitalism. We have a landlord culture that sees private capital thrive irrespective of whether society fails.
One example : I know a mortgaged property that costs £600. Housing benefit for a single parent is £400(?), that single parent works off the books. The parent gets £600 to house a person ‘in need’. The single parent collects a benefit, doesn’t need to pay the property owner as their parents have the mortgage covered by the public purse. It’s free money.
Those numbers won’t be 100% accurate and the margins will be far tighter, but it’s profitable for all.
Immigrants are not Fcuking us. British people are.
