You are making a mockery of the social system we have here in the UK.

You are clearly on benefits which is fine but to then spend hundreds of pounds of it on a 5G route and possibly more on a high end loft aerials shows the social system is broken. From what your saying you don't appear to actually need to be on a social tariff as you don't seem to be financially struggling like some people who are out there actually working.

Rather than grating all those who put into the system why don't you do the decent thing and only take from it what you actually need rather than what you're entitled too.

Before I retired I worked all my adult life (never a day sick) here in the UK and paid a mountain of cash into the UK system and never asked for a penny back, even today I don't draw a state pension although I am entitled to it.

Lucky you, it is nice to be in the situation where you don't't have to draw on your pension, but since you paid into it then you are an idiot not too.
Also lucky that you had never had a sick day. A few years ago, around 6 I think I had 11 months off work on the sick, my work paid for most of it and I took SSP for a couple of months. I was off for a week since on the sick and that was when I had food poisoning. I have even gone into work when I had an infection in my leg like an idiot.
We have no idea why ADSLMAx is on benefits and I don't really want to know, if it because of ill health then fine, I do get fed up with people sitting on their back side who choose not to work and seems to get everything.
I agree some people on benefits seems to be better off than me, but what can you do? If they can't work, then I don't begrudge them getting the money.

I have had a look at the price of that router and I must agree it is a fair bit of money, I certainly would not spend that much on a router, I did not like spending £80 on one last week

in this day and age, get what you can, i say,

It's also entirely possible that adslmax is making things up again and hasn't bought a 5G router. Though if they have I presume the radio stats will be checked as frequently as their sync rates and Three will get constant calls whenever the numbers dip a bit.

No - It true! I brought 5G Hub but...If you don't believe me, that's fine. Because I don't care what you think of me!

Whatever Max's personal circumstances are (and whether his posting which prompted your diatribe is fully aligned with the facts), it is the wrong move to personally attack him. If you have a problem with people acting within the law and claiming benefits to which they are entitled you should be attacking the law not those who are behaving perfectly legally and in an economically rational manner.

Thank You

You are right, sorry. I will now claim my state pension and all the recent government payments I am entitled too even though I don't need any of them.

I have always looked on it as having no problem with paying everything that the government has legislated to take from me in the way of tax, National Insurance etc. then on the other side of the coin having no guilt about receiving anything that the government has legislated to pay to me in the way of benefits, pensions etc.

Each to their own.

Though you could take it and distribute it in whatever way you prefer to those who are clearly and obviously in real need. Leaving it, however altruistically, in government hands whatever the party or complexion of the government at any particular time is not likely to any provide significant benefit to anyone.

I believe giving to individuals or groups is far more likely to make a difference than relying on governments to apply the same funds wisely.
