I don't have a problem with people coming here to work or TBH coming and claiming benefits.
I do have an issue with the 3rd and 4th generation of unemployed whose parents are unemployed and their parents, and have no interest in getting a job.
They are brought up in comfortable enough surroundings for them, don't know any better and TBH don't want to.
They don't work because there is no work ethic instilled, but 3-4 generations of milking the system for as much as they can get and doing the dodge to get a little more.
It's not that it's nice enough that the middle class should join them, but if you don't know any better and are happy enough, why would you change anything?
No social responsibility, free to do whatever you want all day long and still get money handed to you.
No aspirations to be better. Just sky, beer and fags.
Some people are happy enough with that.
I'm not interested in living in their environment, but one does have to wonder how it's fair that I'm subsiding rent, council housing upgrades such as kitchens, bathrooms, boilers, double glazing, solar panels for them to get free electric, etc.
And that's the reality, not the Daily Mail...
I've no issue with people on benefits due to piss poor wages, or disability or temporary circumstances.
Unfortunately everyone is lumped into one big pot and the typical black and white politics suppresses any rational discussions on the issues.
What I don't understand is why benefits are not replaced with a system where you must attend a building for 8 hours a day in order to get paid.
You know, kinda like a job.
But doing some soul destroying task that makes them want to better themselves.
Effectively what we do today is pay people to sit on their arses.
How does that help anything ??
If you don't attend you don't get paid. Simples.
Cuts down crime as people are not free to do what they want during the day. Or sleep in day and rob at night.
This would also massively cut down on benefit fraud as the person attends and gets paid, can't attend twice!! So more than likely self funding if you account for that.
So why are we not doing it ?
Oh the facts about immigration poster:
1) We recruit people to work in the NHS fro abroad because the Brits are leaving for other countries where the health system isn't in utter fecking chaos.
These people coming into the NHS are escaping their own fecked up system or lower pay.
If we fixed the issue with brain drain, then there wouldn't be a need for foreign workers.
My partner qualified as a nurse yet there were no jobs available after the course. Now there is a shortage of man power. Whoopee.
2) 5.5million live abroad. Good for them
3,4,5) Yep. But they are often doing jobs which british people should be doing. However brits choose not to because it's more comfortable living off benefits that it is working minimum wage picking veg in a field or doing other manual labour tasks. Unfortunately the system has allowed them to stay out of work, through choice and we've had to recruit elsewhere. If benefits were not so widespread, they would have to work to get money.
