pot addict claims £16,000 in benefits.  life in the uk today

 

1. My nephew (31 this year) is living on disability in Canada for the exact same thing. I know he had a child when he was 19 - forced by my brother to give it up - it appears that he has a new girlfriend and another child - all on the Canadian taxpayers dime - and oh yes, he did jail time for a drug offense. Meanwhile his brother is a ex-JAG lawyer and in a private firm in AZ - my brother was also a high powered tax lawyer in LA until he retired and became an illegal alien in Canada until they had to make him a citizen. So neither child fell far from the tree.

   And we wonder why the law/criminal justice system is going to hell. So yeah, it is happening on our side of the pond too - I have personal knowledge of it. Disability because you chose to do drugs? What a crock.

3. Isn’t growing pot illegal in the UK? 250 plants sounds like a big grow, probably a year’s worth of dope for 100 people or more.

   At least this loser was only getting a small amount, instead of typical £1000 per week plus a 20 room Edwardian mansion to live in that seems to be the typical story we hear about.

   Will the last true Englishman shut out the lights and lock the door when leaving? Thanks.

4. Hey in writing that - I forgot my other nephew (other brother - hmmm, I’m seeing a pattern) - who will turn 22 this year. He started stealing and ended up sleeping in a local woods (US, FL to be exact) before being arrested (also drug related, addicted) - FL however isn’t run by bleeding heart liberals, he went to jail, he went to rehab and he now has a studio apt, a cell phone (how he posts to FB) and a job - plus he has mandatory drug tests and every 3 months a week long rehab update - Yes his treatment is on the tax-payers dime - but he is working and I’m sure once he clears rehab & parole - he’s not going to be a burden on society.

   See what can be accomplished when you are just adult enough to tell the children NO and the criminals go to jail and then have some real consequences when they come out. What is my other nephew (who started big time in drugs at about 20) learning from having all his bills paid for by other people - while the other (who started about 17) is already clean and employed?

   I think that General Honore would definably say that the liberal criminal ‘justice’ system is STUCK ON STUPID!
