Very dangerous society we live in now.Newspapers, talk radio, and any type of social media are stirring up hatred for people on benefits.Please do not carried away by this propaganda.Remember what happened in Germany prior to W.W.2 Neighbour against neighbour. They persecuted the disabled and gassed them. There is a Famous poem, I wish I could find which tells the story of turning away from people and ignoring their plight.Hopefully someone on here knows the poem I am on about and could perhaps share it with us all on here and other social media sites to perhaps make people think before they condemn.I am a novice computer user and a recent Wiki member.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

I was thinking about this before and seriously its better to live in ignorance than fear...

Thanks for renaming the Topic of this thread Mark.

The Workers cry "We cannot tolerate the unemployed and foreighners bleeding the country dry"

The Unemployed cry " We cannot tolerate the foreighners bleeding the country dry"

The Government crys "Keep blaming each other whilst we bleed the country dry, you fools"!!!!!!

So very, very true!!

Troll alert! So sad.

Which one are you?

There are a lot of unemployed people who are actively trying to find work and deserve all the help they can get, while there are others who spend most of there time sat at a laptop fag in one hand vodka and coke in the other, moaning they don't get enough benefit. I worked all my life and am very proud of that. If I had been unfortunate enough to have ended up unemployed then of course I would have been grateful for any help I could get from the benefits, I know it is very hard times out there and we should support those who are out of work through no fault of there own and who are actively trying to find work. As for foreigners working in this country, I see no wrong in this as long as it helps the economy, its the foreigners who send the money out of the country and claim benefits for their families who don't even live in this country, that makes my blood boil.

George I agree with what you have just posted. I am sick to death of people knocking the unemployed, disabled and foreigners. There will always be people who abuse the system but in a civilised country there should be support and a safety net for those in need.

Salmon it is attributed to Pastor Martin Miemoller. Google his name, or 'First they came' and you will find plenty of links and information.

You might wish to also Google or check the following link: www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/source/biography/Kolbe.html to read about Maximilian Kolbe a prisoner in Auschwitz,who volunteered to die in the place of a stranger
