I'm watching the Jeremy Vine show on TV in the UK right now and the topic of discussion is disability benefits. Of course it's nothing but hate and lies about the disabled. A caller phoned in to say he's struggling to survive on the disability benefits he's paid and the panel all made sarcastic faces and tore this to shreds, someone said disability benefits are too much and people just waste their benefits on nonsense.

One panellist said there are too many young people on disability and they need to be pushed into work. After all younger people can't be genuinely disabled, right? She also said the elderly shouldn't get state pensions or help with their winter fuel bills. Lots of hateful people phoning in to say the disabled shouldn't be given any more money.

One woman now saying she's an employer and proudly bragging that she tries to sabotage disability claimants benefits claims. This is how she does it: when a disabled person is forced into having a job interview with her and tell her they're disabled and can't do the job, she phones the job centre to tell them the candidate is trying to get out of working so they get their disability benefits stopped.

Why don't they just legalise assisted suicide since they want rid of us so much? There aren't even enough jobs for all the healthy unemployed people already.

EDIT: Now callers are whingeing about benefits being paid to help people pay for their kids. AND saying the birth rate is too low. They're whingeing the birth rate is too low while also wanting to not help parents financially at the same time.

EDIT: Hahaha now they’ve changed the topic. They’re complaining about how people are so obese now that their coffins no longer fit in the crematorium.

Unrelated but check out this dope-ass joker hammer made by a company in England named "Kinetic Customs":

I bet those claws could easily slip between something patella-shaped and pop it right out! 😃
