Remember everyone, when a job is so low paid the government has to top it up via benefits, it's a direct subsidy from taxpayers to shareholders, and from the poor to the rich.

1. Quote from Danny Dyer which says "People bang on about benefit culture, all that. There are piss-takers, no one doubts that but I know plenty of people on benefits who work hard, it's just they don't get paid enough to cover the basics. Now you can say "Get off your arse & get a better job." All right, say everyone does that. Whose gonna actually do the shitty jobs then? If you're working 40 hours a week and can't cover the bills, that aint your fault. It's the fault of the slags paying you. So if you have to claim benefits then claim 'em & don't feel bad about it. It's not you that is actually getting the benefit anyway, it's your employer. They pay you shit all & expect the State to pick up the tab."
