Thanks. I was hoping someone would try and be smart with that and now I can ask the follow the follow up…why is doing all you can to avoid paying tax you don’t have to any different to claiming benefits you are fully entitled to claim?
Not laziness? What is it then? So they don't want to work FT because of 'self awareness of mental health?' How do you suggest they fund rent / clothes / entertainment etc if they don't want to work FT?
The crux of that argument: people perceive they are working harder, for less, because of the benefits system and people that claim benefits.
You’ll certainly hear them due east!
Good heavens, if people can’t face working a 35/40 hour week when they are fit and young, then I despair for their future prospects! I would even go so far as to say their mental health will suffer even more from being almost permanently skint!
. But my Trump hating daughter then 15 joined me the last presidential election night.
Yes. But given the huge problems in the UK at the moment, and given the low numbers of benefit fiddlers, it’s not exactly top of the priority list. I’d prefer he sort out the mess his colleague Truss caused with cost of living and a huge investment in health care…1.8 million waiting for mental health care?
There are at least 3 who have discussed the all-brighter, whether we join up or keep in touch from our respective abodes remains to be seen.Will you have company?
I’ve watched them solo since May 79 …. I remember the p’d off Tideway teachers on the Friday
Out of interest, how would it be decided who would be best able to pay more?
Exactly, so if this cohort that are unwilling to face 35/40 hours a week want a decent future and ‘prospects’, then they will have to develop some resilience and face reality. The alternative would not be pleasant.
Sadly, the 'reality' is that this cohort doesn't have the same prospects as previous generations.
I did in 97 and I will again this time. It will hopefully be glorious
Or if enough just down tools then someone will have to consider the situation ? It’s a two way street.
<sigh>
I remember ‘97 so well. I was living in Camden and stayed up most of the night. The next morning I had to go to Islington to a photographer’s house. He took an iconic photo of Gordon Smith about to score at Wembley, you know the one, which appeared in The Guardian a week or so earlier; I had seen it and contacted him to buy a copy. That was a lovely morning, had a good chat about Brighton and politics in his lovely house. Afternoon I made my way to Hereford.I did in 97 and I will again this time. It will hopefully be glorious
Given that the 'new' Those That Can Work Should Work 'policy' has already captured the imagination of those concerned about Bulgarian Crime Gangs, I'm still not convinced that 'Soft-Touch Starmer' and his gang of dole-scum and Council Hose Cheats is out of the woods just yet. And let's not forget the criminal, Angie
