THIS GUY MAKES A GOOD POINT This was written by a rig worker in North Sea - he makes a lot of sense! I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to earn that pay cheque, I work on a rig for a drilling contractor. I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a dole cheque because I have to pass one to earn it for them Please understand that I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sit on their arse drinking beer and smoking dope. Could you imagine how much money the government would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a dole cheque Please pass this along if you agree or simply delete if you don't. Hope you will pass it along though, because something has to change in the UK , and soon!

About time. I work 50 hours a week and see my taxes going to people who spend the day on the sofa. If they want my money they should stay clean like the rest of us.

100% agree. why should they get a free ride while the rest of us get tested for our jobs. makes no sense at all.
