We, the UK are now at the point that welfare per year is £330 billion

The same figure as all the UK income tax per year.

Welfare is set to get larger

So no, it's not affordable

It’s not that big a number when you look at the tax dodging losses. Plus the Gov get a lot back on VAT & duty on cigs & booze that all the chavs buy.
What about all the money going to cocaine dealers?

Britain’s welfare bill exceeds income tax revenue. Labour’s answer? More cash https://share.google/FhDFJBZciFNJjYFxs
