I was a Works Manager in a Steel Factory for 35 yrs, During COVID my 90 yr old Dad developed Dementia through Lockdown which because of isolation accelerated it I'm sure. I look after him as well as I can and get 250 a month, a month..24 hrs a day,7 days a week, no holidays, no breaks. So I'm lazy?

Wise words Sam...
A guy I work with got a section 21 no fault eviction from his landlord to leave the house where he had lived and looked after for 15 years , he and his wife and 2 kids are now living in a hotel room with a double and 2 single beds provided by the council under emergency accommodation because he could not find any other place to rent at an affordable rent , they put themselves on the council housing list but where told it could be up to 10 years before they get offered anything as there are
4000 families before them..!!
One of his old neighbours rang him to tell him that his ex landlord who is of Asian decent has rented the house long term to the council and there are now a family of 7 Somalis living in the house and only 2 of the children can speak English....!!!
What is happening in this country regarding the illegal asylum seekers and migrants with visas to enter is absolutely disgusting , they seem to be given priority over our own citizens for everything..!

Too easy to get benefits??? I'm self employed, just had a heart attack, have serious cardio issues and I can't get on the sick. I'm told to get back to work. I've worked all of my life, paid taxes and NI. Our Government are taking our money and giving it away to freeloaders. No wonder people are dropping out of the workforce. Lazy is not the reason.

In the current financial climate who’s the daft ones those who don’t work get government benefits and live relatively stress free or those who graft everyday and are still skint? My brother works 60 hours a week in a kitchen he can’t afford a new pair of shoes or to go out for a pint all his money goes on paying rent, gas, electric, petrol, food etc the cherry on the top is his landlord just raised the rent by extra £50 a month.

I have a unique insight on this one. My dad was in the Queen’s Lancashire Regiment in the 80s. He was a strict man, served in Northern Ireland. I spent a good year on Job Seeker’s Allowance after I graduated from uni. I didn’t want a job. I spent a lot of time around the unemployed. A lot of them would not be capable of performing to the professional level that the British Army requires. I think some time in the Army would have given me the boot up the @rse I so badly needed. I am not sure that would be the same for everyone. People have mental health issues and substance abuse problems. They would be useless to the Army.

A big problem is the minimum wage which keeps great swathes of the population earning low wages within a few pence of each other regardless of skill or job difficulty. No incentive.
Immigrants and housing. Putting hundreds of square miles of our green and pleasant land under concrete for the sake of foreigners while our own kids have to live with mum and dad well into their thirties. No chance of starting out on their own because they can't afford the stupid money rents. Knock on effect less families, less children and declining native population.
The Government is hostile to YOU.

What is it, £11.50 national minimum wage now? You simply can not live of this amount in 2024. That's roughly £460 per week, say times 4 = £1840per month before tax. Rent approx £1000 per month, you've got £500 left. Council tax £120 per month, you've got £380 left. NRG bill £200 per month, you've got £180 left. £180 left and you haven't eaten yet or put petrol in your car to get to work. Minimum wage should be £20 per hour

I remember when they came up with vast redundancy payments for fired full time employees. They simply killed full time status to temp workers. Now Job Agencies get the real money, and everyone's a temp. They force people onto grave yard shifts, and get the mystery amounts themselves. I remember they cooked two people at Walkers Pie Factory. Set new ones back to work the next day. Nobody should buy Walkers products. It's like Bangladesh in those factories.
