The Urine test.
This was written by a rig worker in the 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 for drugs and alcohol, 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 welfare 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 ass 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 welfare cheque?

He doesn't get the point.
If he were to be under the influence of Alcohol or Drugs he may have an accident and that could involve a lot of additional costs to both the Employer and other Tax payers.
Simple really.

LM,
Are you infering that by drinking on the State benefits, you are reducing accident?

Well that was not the point I was trying to make. But now you mention it. If those on benefit drink more beer that's less for those that work and thus they are doing the workers a favor since there is less booze for the workers to drink and so they (The Workers) will be safer.

It works for the Chatsworth Buccaneers!
Tickets this way for the Chatsworth Express
Come and watch pikeys making a mess
Of the lives they were given by him upstairs
And kids they’re convinced aren’t actually theirs
What sound on earth could ever replace
Kids needing money and wives in your face
Cos this, people reckon, and me included,
Is why pubs and drugs were kindly invented
To calm us all down, stop us going mental
These are Chatsworth Estate’s basic essentials
We are worth every penny, we’re grinding your axes
You sit on our head, but you pay the taxes
Imagine a Britain without Chatsworth buccaneers
We’ll come on your face for the price of a beer
Make poverty history, cheaper drugs now
Make poverty history, cheaper drugs now!
