SOME 900,000 people on Incapacity Benefit for more than ten years with some unable to work because of acne, varicose veins, depression, bad backs and nail problems.
What a joke this country is when many of these bone-idle wastes of space are taking resources from people with proper incapacities as well as us taxpayers. Obviously all of these people would qualify for The Paralympics. So we could be gold medalists at events such as 100 metres for heroin users, high jump for people with dizzy spells, pole-vaulting for acne sufferers, heptathlon for alcoholics and high hurdles for people with nail issues.
Let’s get them entered. We could be world beaters. Fault obviously lies with successive governments, whatever their genre.
