Taking the p*ss

The Urine test (This was written by an oil rig worker in the North Sea - What he says 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 benefits 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 arse 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 benefit cheque?

Not much as the majority of the money paid out in benefits is recycled via alcohol and tobacco duty.

And for the benefits that are spent on drugs it is actually a bribe to stop them from stealing your stuff to pay for their habit.
