The stuff of knightmares mate.. It's frightening jonks, that on top of the NHS budget FFS, there wont be enough people working to keep those who aren't and run the NHS, and to think we could have Starmer/Labour in charge of those decisions. |

Are you for real? Or just a liar? I suggest you learn to read. As anyone else can verify by looking, what I actually said was, "If they stopped moaning about everyone else, they'd get less stick". Go check for yourself, I said "stick" not "sick". It is there in black and white. And you think I am the pillock, lol. Fool! And it is with amusement that I notice you have now quickly edited in the missing "t" to hide your faux pas.. Ahh yes, apologies my mistake. But in my defence, you're still a pillock. No worries. And in my defence it is better to be thought a pillock by an arse, than to be the arse thinking it. |

Seeing the long term lazy workshy pulling Brussels in December on the frozen wastelands of Lincolnshire would be a fun watch .I would place a large bet that there wouldn't be 1.36 million unemployed or a million job vacancies if they were forced to do it . So you believe in Slave Labour? Even in Victorian times it was food, shelter, warmth and the means to survive harsh winters. In our era, food, shelter, warmth, work, money, adult education and the means to build a life again. Far more humane than having people on the streets destitute and dying not knowing where their next meal was coming from, bring back workhouses. Give shelter to the homeless. |

Sick note Britain. And the parties go along with it for the vote. Democracy is a pile. It is fair to say though that as life is becoming ever more insecure for ever more people - insecure employment, insecure housing - this will inevitably be having much more of an adverse impact on mental health, not only amongst the adults in such situations, but amongst the children growing into adulthood in such situations. It is also a fact that many more of us who might have died younger in previous decades are living longer and acquiring more medical conditions as we do because living longer might not always equate to remaining healthy for longer. And then there is the raising of the retirement age so that more sick people who might have been retired in former years will now be classed as of working age. Raising retirement age does not raise the age at which you become sick through age-related conditions. Taking all this together, it is inevitable that there will be more sick or disabled people around now than there were a few decades ago, but a lot is already being done to make it more possible for those who can do some work to be able to do so. |

I note that your good self - notorious around these parts for your constant whinges about how hard done by the super rich are - seem to imagine that welfare is generous, lol. For a single person it amounts to about £326 per calendar month, plus rent. The lion's share of welfare does not actually go to the claimant at all but to his landlord who will often get two or three times as much as the claimant does. If I proposed that you spend your dotage living on £326 a month on the grounds that this is generous, you'd soon be moaning about it. Get with the program. A family living on benefits in London can be financially better off than a household earning £70k a year. CSJ analysis assuming two parents aged 30, both unemployed for at least two years and with three children under 16, renting a two-bed council property on the World’s End Estate, in an SW10 postcode. The family would be eligible for £2,191 each month in Universal Credit, Council Tax Support and Child Benefit. If they were paying £898 a month in social housing rent, rather than up to £3,000 if they were renting on the open market, the combined value of the discounted rent and cash benefits would be worth around £51,500 a year. To get £51k after tax you have to earn £70k. Now I know in London £70k is not unusual but it is far more than even the average wage in London. We are currently on our highest level of taxation and public spending since WW2 - much of which has been driven by the massive expansion in welfare handouts. Apart from paying 20% tax on half of it, what would a couple each earning 23-24k as a result of holding down a National Min Wage job for 40 hours a week for 52 weeks if tbe year get ? And there's a huge problem right there When I was starting to earn money no one at the bottom of the pay scale paid income tax and benefits were barely existent as housing was so cheap because there was lots of it Today it is illegal not to pay at least £2,400 a year in income tax. |
