I've got to be honest, I agree that there are far too many people in this country who think the benefits system is a career choice. And generations of the same family follow in the footsteps of their parents before them.

She’s a f*cking parasite, who does she think pays her ridiculous wages? Out over touch Tories. Universal Credit is brutal and they’ve even managed to cut that.

I agree with that up to a point. It’s true for some but because these families are born into it, don’t know any different and are quickly written off as wasters. Many would have and did describe my own family as such back in the day. The task is to move these families and communities away from that mindset and it doesn’t happen overnight. It takes generations.

Completely agree. But what is actually done to break, or even interrupt that cycle? I don't see much changing.

Further to that, I have relatives who only work two days a week, if they work one day more they actually lose money. Someone needs to explain to me who benefits from this sort of thing? It does more harm than anything.

Plus, a lot of people on UC are in work - remember this is a country where food banks are necessary and more than acceptable.

Anyhoo, the Tory leadership contest seems to be developing into a race to the bottom of the barrel, if such a thing exists after the Johnson years. Anyone who rejected Corbyn as too extreme but thinks most of this lot are any less mental needs to take a long look at themselves.

Will they lose money or lose benefits? UC calculates what you are due and then minuses anything you earn and then pays the balance. The principal is pretty sound in the case if employed people, doesn’t work for self employed people, and the amount they expect people to live on is low.

She hasn't got a clue has she, maybe she needs to see the psychiatrist like all the other millions waiting for appointments to see the psychiatrist that this Conservative government and Labour government backlogs that they have single handedly created themselves because they're under funding it.. literally millions are waiting

 

[Skippyjack]

They found money to bail out the banks, yet they won't and will not fund a proper health service, that goes for both parties in power..

And all these politicians seem to be obese, lazy, lacking in any intellectual persuasion to gain votes except possibly Rory Stewart.. they're overpaid and over funded IMO, and they're claiming way more in expenses than your average street walker.. defund political bodies!

Rory Stewart talks a good game but look at that website that tells you how your MP voted on any motion - Stewart always votes the same as every other Tory, always tax cuts for the rich and hikes for the poor, check it, 100%.

I only said possibly, he's possibly the only one that isn't a parody

Rory Stewart is neither an MP nor a member of the Conservative party so about a relevant as I am.
