In the news

This could be a lot of spin. Some people struggle to make ends meet on what others can be pretty cushy on. One big cost a lot of people have is Alcohol & Cigarettes. Plenty of the people on the dole drink & smoke, plenty of them eat out or go to things with an admission price every so often. If you never spent on all this stuff, you could feasibly save enough to maintain a large pet and a flying lesson every now and again. I just looked on ebay and they only cost about £50

If you reduced the amount of money available through JSA/Income support it would crush those who find it more difficult. Also, should people not be allowed a little extra for pleasure if they are thrifty enough?

LOL £50. Guess again.
