Essential Trump/Alt-Right Ridicule Thread

People have a far more accurate picture than the DWP of whether they are genuinely in need or not. Their opinion of whether they are "deserving" or not may be totally different than the DWP.

Irrelevant. The DWP are the gatekeepers and they get to make the decision to award benefit or not. And as the billions in unpaid benefits proves, plenty of people who qualify are being left out. Having dealt with poorly trained DWP staff myself, and having heard from others who have made use of their services, I'm not convinced that's largely due to people thinking they don't deserve them. People can't eat pride.

For example, my partner could qualify for a number of benefits but would never apply for them as we would always support each other, if one was in need, rather than run to the government for aid. I have also supported my kids even though they could also claim benefits. It's just the right thing to do, in my opinion.

Well if you and your partner feel secure enough that you can do that, great for you. But the whole point of a having a social safety net is that it's not just about you.

What difference does that make? I will decide personally whether I want to apply or not. I choose not to, if I don't really need to, even if I may qualify for benefits, because I prefer supporting myself rather than having the government do so. I have nothing against those that genuinely do need aid, in fact I believe my stance supports them, in that it leaves more funds available to provide support.

But the whole point of a having a social safety net is that it's not just about you.

Exactly. It's also not just about qualifying for benefits according to the criteria used by the DWP, it's about whether you can get by without aid or not.
 
the only thing I would consider off-limits is Barron Trump.

Oh, I beg to differ. :D

This video from Roy Moore's "victory" rally is only 2 minutes long but has about 20 hilarious moments, I think my favourite is when the woman stands in front of a slide of Mount Rushmore and vows that every tongue that rises up against Moore will be put to shame.

 
He's lost and its probably off to the glue factory for the poor sod
But will any glue factory accept such a highly contaminated deposit, as Moore, for 'recycling'?
Moore likely to be dumped into the bin labelled 'articles unsuitable for recycling''
Apologies to MrSpikey
Who got there first :thumbs:
