This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Stop Benefit Scroungers. After 6 months of having no Job, no payouts !
We have to work hard to get the lifestyle we desire.
There should be no 2 ways about this.
I don't think the money we pay as taxes should be spent on lazy* people.
For 6 months, I totally understand the need to support anone without a job.
There are always job vacancies, good or bad
More details
Tax is paid by hard working individuals who spend a majority of their day working, almost everyday of the year.
I work 6-7days a week, to achieve the lifestyle I desire.
But at the end of the day, 2 out of the 8 hours I work is basically for all them benefit scroungers to stay at home and watch football & coronation Street on TV.
They have 4-5 kids on average whereas I know I can not have more than 1, because thats all I afford.
These people are served a golden life on a platter, paid by us.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. Some benefits are paid to people who are unable to work. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, if you would like Jobseeker's Allowance to be paid for no more than six months, you could start a petition about that.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
