UK one of the most unequal countries

[BrilloPad]

Inequality is increasing. Which is why the UK voted for Brexit. However, Brexit will probably make it worse.

The only way of cutting back on inequality is a depression....

Hi there Scroat face.
Perhaps if there were no imagrunts you could of been a dokta.

If there were no immigrants you would still have been a cretin.

Indeed. A little off topic but sort of related to the school thread of recent..

Gymnasium schools require two years of marking/observation by the junior school teachers to get in, not verbal reasoning tests. Kids attend school at a later age, far better for their early development to be with a parent up until 5, not dumped at minders or pre school, so parents can get back on the treadmill. In Germany they have:

Free university,
Free national travel for students,
Excellent technical colleges,
As much respect given to those who enter trades,
Apprenticeships that pay €10 an hour, not less than £3,
Workfare that's paid employment,
Non judgmental welfare system,
Excellent social housing,
Rent protection and security of tenure for tenants,
Little in the way of zero hours, minimum hours style employment..

They're miles ahead of us. We're an embarrassment in comparison.



And they've got a million+ migrants!!! - WHAT's OUR EXCUSE?!!

Here in Denmark university students are paid to go to uni...

And the German public are really happy about that, aren't they?!

Didn't Merkel get a drubbing in some election the other day?

Maybe it's all Daily Mail smoke and mirrors

OK, let's try Switzerland.

Gymnasium schools require consistently high grades at secondary level (~16 years old). Kids attend school at a later age, far better for their early development to be with a parent up until 5, not dumped at minders or pre school, so parents can get back on the treadmill. In Switzerland they have:

Low university fees (~£1000 a year, with help available for those on low income and those needing to live away from home)
Cheap national travel for students,
Excellent technical colleges,
As much respect given to those who enter trades,
Apprenticeship is considered to be continuation of education, pays ~800 a month.
Unemployment benefit that's 80% of your previous salary (up to ~£100K), after that social that you have to pay back when you get a job.
Non judgmental welfare system,
Excellent social housing - at community level. The community is obliged to clothe, feed and house people on social, with some subsidy for smaller communities.
Rent protection and security of tenure for tenants,
Little in the way of zero hours, minimum hours style employment..

They're miles ahead of us. We're an embarrassment in comparison.



And they've got a 25% of the population as migrants and take in proportionally more refugees and asylum seekers than their fair share if all European countries shared the burden!!! - WHAT's OUR EXCUSE?!!

Perhaps posters to this thread can first 'fess up as to whether they live in the UK and intend to remain here. It would appear those most critical don't live here/don't intend to stay here.

Can't we send MF to Europe. That should help balance the scales somewhat?

Blaming immigrants is so easy. They're ill equipped to defend themselves.

We might consider during those 13 years of Labour that BHS owner Phillip Green was already masterminding how to extract a pension fund for his own gain. I don't think the recently redundant would blame immigrants.

Yes, that's what he said. Ill-equipped, no assets, very little in the way of a career ladder. You are a bit dim at times.

Glad to see you know your geography. Any ideas what part of Germany those voters were from?

Don't tell me.

The bits not already overrun by 3rd world immigration ?
Those who have seen what's happened elsewhere & don't want it in their manor?

The UK is not a place where people live. Come on. It's a place where people live to work.
