My wife has had her sickness benefit taken from her. We knew that this was going to happen, we've talked, long-time, about our plan for the event. She could have fought it but we realized that we had no good long-term outcome. Right doesn't matter here, she can win, once, once as long as she wants—it'll just start all over again. Eventually they will win.

This fight, even if won, would ruin us. Two people against ten thousand, where they can fail, in any way, at any point without being wrong; we fail just once and we lose. Only the stupid fight such battles.

So we said that when it came, as it has, we'd give up every supposed luxury that scroungers should do without, we'd do the best that we could to maintain ourselves as humans.

One of those luxuries is the OU.
