Also the problem of unemployment won't go away. We are going to see unemployment continuing to rise.
There isn't enough jobs for everyone, so what do we do?
The trouble is, there ARE plenty of jobs, but they tend to be lower paid and carried out by non-UK nationals who are prepared to work where bone idle Brits think menial/low paid work is below them...so they'd rather sit at home and expect the taxpayer to pay for their rent/beer/fags/plasma TV and Sky.
If it were up to me, if you don't work, and haven't paid into the system (to make sure the honest get a help out if thet genuinely need it) then you'd get a sh!t house in a sh!t area and basic food vouchers.
A new car, foreign holidays, Sky TV, iPhone etc should not be attainable by the bone idle, lazy, theiving toe-rags who think the State should owe them a good income.
The minimum wage should be increased to make sure people can actuallt live on it...and Taxpayers handouts all but stopped, so this insane situation where you 'get more staying at home then you do working' doesn't happen.
And if you can't afford kids...don't breed.
Simples.
Where are these jobs then? I'd really love to know as I would love to work for a living I've been on jobseekers for 5 months now and hate it, I was on it twice before this for 4 months and 8 months all in the last 2 years so in the last 24 months I've been on jobseekers for 17 months, I don't get enough to live on, I get £92 per week with both housing benefit and jobseekers and my rent is £75 per week leaving me £17 to pay my bills and eat.
I don't think low paid jobs are below me, last week I worked over 90 hours and earned £250 for it, I will let the jobcentre know when I next sign on and I'll lose £52 for that week in benefit which means I made £198 for 90 hours work, but I do it so that I'm claiming as little as possible.
I haven't paid tax or NI contributions since I was 16 as none of my employers paid it even though they should have, I have never been paid 1 days holiday even though I was employed, I have been forced to work unpaid overtime and was working 50/70 hours per week at 16 and 17 which anyone under 18 Isn't allowed to do, my first job was £3 an hour, I have never been paid as much as the minimum wage and when I was 16 I tore the ligaments in my ankle and ripped the muscles in my shoulder one day at work and was back working the next day as if I had taken time off I'd have lost my job.
Where I live a new restaurant opened and were recruiting, over 1000 people applied for the bar staff jobs, a cleaning job came up over 1500 applied for that, my old boss while I was working for him advertised for a labourer in 1 day he had over 200 people call for it so with that many people chasing a handful of jobs it's actually hard for me to get one.
