Tis the Season 2

Another one just cropped up on my news feed

Mum forced to use neighbour's electricity for 11 days after power cut left kids freezing

This one is a bit wierd, as it seems she did top up the meter and Scottish Power are accepting responsibility for the cut off, unlike the others below, where they simply hadn't paid their bills and still went squealing to the newspapers

The story still raised my hackles though, as it's dripping with entitlement and a lack of personal responsibility

Council flat, young woman, two young children, no father(s) on scene, no job, on benefits

Reading the story, she's clearly made the decision twice, to get pregnant and have a baby, while she lives in a council flat on benefits. Now her electricity is on a pre-paid meter because she can't be trusted to pay the bills, and she squeals to the papers when the leccy goes off, as she clearly has no funds or plan in place to deal with adversity when it arises

These are the people who will own nothing. These are the people whose children will not stand a chance in life, and end up as feckless as their parents. But they're also the people who will make sure the rest of us find it very difficult to own anything, as a huge portion of our wage is taken to pay their way

These are the people who disgust me
