We had a family, it was our responsibility to look after them.
GrannyMac, Totally agree, but if I found I could look after them better by being on benefits, rather than having the p**s taken out of me by someone wanting to get away with paying me a pittance, it would be a difficult choice for me, I have been luckier than many, in that my career choices over the years meant while never earning a fortune, I have never needed to accept crap wages. I find it a scandal that from what I read, so many working people today are having to resort to food banks, because of scum employers.
