‘Why work for less when doing nothing pays the same?’ Caller Jo tells Rachel Johnson the people claiming benefits aren't the problem - the system is.

@RachelSJohnson Did she correct the caller or let them spout nonsense from a report by Ian Duncan smith and a bloke from Reform which if read concludes it looked at one theoretical claimant - so no one really just what could at a push be claimed in theory

@RachelSJohnson Millionaires not paying their fair share of taxes is the problem. We lose more from tax evasion than benefit fraud

@RachelSJohnson People complain and whinge when minimum wage is increased, then they moan wages aren't high enough. Whinge whinge whinge whinge whinge. Pay people more is the simple answer but business doesn't want to hear it, they just want another yacht or another holiday to Dubai.

@RachelSJohnson Just gonna leave this here for you weird cunts that can't seem to stop banging on about pointless shit

@RachelSJohnson She’s right. Its like blaming the wasps when you left the jam jar open. You can’t invite the outcome and then act shocked when it shows up

@RachelSJohnson The system isn’t the problem the fact that employers pay poverty wages is the problem.

I am not allowed to work. I have told them I want a job, but every time I tell them I want to work I end up having to go through a List of activities which I can do. Their main point is that I cannot work around other people, PTSD. They say I cannot control my reactions to somebody innocently touching me, making me jump, or causing Panic situations, because If I react badly I may hurt a few people. PTSD is crippling but all I want to do is stand on my own two legs, but they will not allow it. Its just too risky for them. I have other medical conditions which cause major problems, but still I do not want to live off the state, working is all I want to do. I know I am going to lose close to £500 per month with the planned cuts. I will be on less than what a person on UC gets because they take money off me for a Carer. Instead of £94 per week it drops to just £24 as My Carer gets £70 p/w Tell me if you can live of £24 a week, remembering I have energy bills and food to get. I can tell you Food and Energy bills would have me at the end of a rope within 3 months as the debts would increase and I wouldn't be able to eat. I want work, but I am not allowed to, just remember that when it comes to 80% of the disabled which Labour are going to take money from.

@RachelSJohnson another 'deserving poor' phone in.. are we living in dickensian times?

@RachelSJohnson Bloody hell. Rachel looks like she's living on benefits and has just got up!

@RachelSJohnson As if @RachelSJohnson the Nepobaby radio host gives a shit about ordinary people.
