Universal credit 'will destroy people'

Anyone on the Dole for a year is automatically signed up to the Military, even if your 50 you have to go through basic training etc. This would solve many problems in one move. They get put on the front line first rather than the brave ones who choose to join. This would soon get their asses into work.

Train then how to kill and traumatise them. Genius.

The 'brave ones' who 'chose' to join often didn't have options. If you look where you get most of your infantry/grunts from, you'll find it is mainly from high unemployment areas, who have low intellect/education. The ones with intellect, of sorts, joined as officers, and in less front line positions.

It would never work. Mass desertion, refusals and so on. In the age of forced service, how many would simply jump off high buildings to shag their knees.

I think your'e missing the point entirely, none of them will want to be dodging bullets in the desert, they would rather just get a job in Asda stacking shelves.

Didn't think I needed to explain that, but I forgot the level of intelligence on here is on the low side.

So what you're assuming, is that there are a surplus of jobs then? No?

There was a property owning criterion in this country until fairly recently.

It's notable that the country's decline coincided with the introduction of universal suffrage.

People have been saying the country has been declining since it becamea country in the first place. It's a truism that things were better in the past, just as new music is crap.

You think everyone is a lefty.

Nope, as I have said before, I probably align more with the right on economic and social issues (except thing like abortion and religion)

What Gibbon said....
It's the price of doing business, chuck them enough to stop most of them coming for the rest of us and we can all get on with our lives.
Chap on 5live yesterday - it's madness, I will just blow it on drink, drugs and partyin and won't bovver paying the rent, then I will go 'on the rob' if i'm skint - astonishing but truthful !

Added to this waste of food are people for whom life is a real challenge, don't presume everyone is switched on to basic tasks. They can just about get by if someone puts a roof over and gives them a few quid - by preference weekly. Monthly is going to be a disaster.

Forget the workhouses or military options, will
cost more and won't work.
Coalition making mostly decisions I agree with but this is a shocker...
