The Danegeld (“Danish tax”) was a tax raised to pay tribute to the Viking raiders to save a land from being ravaged. It was characteristic of royal policy in both England and Frankland during the ninth through eleventh centuries.
I refer to the plan of Ian Duncan Knob Jockey to reward good behaviour on council estates by letting people buy their squalid, litter strewn shacks at a knock down price.
Bollocks to that. We are currently paying children CASH to go to school, beer vouchers by the thousand, “mobility” grants so the unwashed fat bastards can buy themselves a Ford Escort to get their arses to the dole office every two weeks, tax credits for scratchcards and filthy wonga on a massive scale. Increasing the flow of money to these bastards is not the answer. Cutting off the money supply is. If people misbehave, put the rent up.
People who WANT to get on, get on. Simple as that. People who are paid by us to sit on their spotted arses smoking roll ups and watching X-Factor are not going to get a job until you stop paying them to sit on their spotted arses smoking roll ups and watching X-Factor. The Welfare bill has never been higher and by a strange coincidence, the number of useless bastards has never been higher either.
Make the penalties for not getting on stricter. Do what you like Barry, Aiesha and your prize Pitbull, but don’t ask me to fucking pay for it. You want a house? Keep your nose clean, your head down, work hard and take a few risks.
Just like the fucking rest of us have.
Bastards
