Benefits Cap

[vetran]

Chris agree completely. Mr Bevan would be horrified, benefit claimants better off than workers and his party importing cheap labour to keep big business happy at the expense of the ordinary working people.

Sad really.

I daresay that we will get the usual "Poles doing work that the Brits are too bone idle to take" guff. But like I said, with high employment, you could allocate somebody a job.

I wish someone would allocate me one, but even the minimum-wage dumps are shutting down here now, and they would have to sack somebody else to do it.

Like the Soviet Union !

Well, in the Soviet Union it was half-way to slavery. We could do better.

At the risk of drawing a comparison with 'Arbeit Macht Frei', I would (after nearly two years on the bench) tell you with some authority that paid work is freedom, and life on the dole is slavery, depression and misery.

I hope it never happens to you.

Move to the SE then. Even sasguru with the intellect of a gnat earns > £200K.

Secure a job and then rent a house.

I give up. It's just like the last 74 posts never happened, isn't it?

You don't honestly expect me to read all that crap about poor people do you?

Can we have a summary? I only read the last page.

I read the 1st post, guess the rest is lefty whinging and hand wringing sprinkled with piss taking and boasting and then read the last post.

Usually works.

Things will be better once we are poorer than the rest of Europe and so far we appear to be winning the race to the bottom.
