Comments by "David Getling" (@DavidGetling) on "'We have money to fight wars but not take care of our most vulnerable' argues Geoff Butcher" video.

  1. How many are truly "vulnerable"? A few nights ago on the ITV news they had a woman on full benefits who claimed to have MS, but here's the thing. She was putting in full days working in her garden and on a large allotment. I'm sure that many people would agree that if she could do this then she could go out and earn her keep, instead of sponging of the rest of us. I also have a neighbour in her late 50s who has probably never done a full day's work in her entire life, despite being well able to. Employers are crying out for staff, but there are tens of thousands in this country who would rather sponge off the rest of us than earn their keep.

  2. And for tens of thousands of others who claim they can't work when they most certainly can!
