brianthedog Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 But it is 35k after deductions tax etc you finnish up with about 25k Ah, I'm with you. I was referring to how many people would need to be working to support one household. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidley Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Ah, I'm with you. I was referring to how many people would need to be working to support one household. i think i am wrong though the average wage in briton is £535 a week thats averaging the big knobs with the little nobs, point of interest Toby Foster invited anybody that was receiving £26,000 in benefits to give him a ring he's still waiting.

Cyclone Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Well, for example (I can't believe I'm having to do this) you could implement a small charity's IT system. MrSmith could show dyslexic NEET's how he's found strategies to deal with dyslexia to help them get into a job or training. The charity could (and normally would) pay someone to do that work, you've just cost someone their small business and livelihood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It doesn't sound as though you've much been involved in charities, social enterprise and good causes. I'm involved in four at the moment, in addition to three businesses. I can assure you that you're a mile off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Macbeth Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 i think i am wrong though the average wage in briton is £535 a week thats averaging the big knobs with the little nobs, point of interest Toby Foster invited anybody that was receiving £26,000 in benefits to give him a ring he's still waiting. I think most people realise by now that the £26k cap will hit families in very expensive housing, mainly in London and the South East. Its the high level of rents that push up benefits, as all other benefits are paid at the same levels regardless of where people live. Most families living in areas with relatively cheap housing (as in South Yorkshire) won't get anywhere near that amount. Its hardly surprising no-one rang in as I doubt many Londoners listen to Radio Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the least then you've deprived someone of their voluntary contribution. Is charity work your only example then? The unemployed can do work for charities for free (charities that would never have employed someone to do that work of course, otherwise you've done someone else out of paid work).

Anna B Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Can you substantiate this or are you just repeating something you've read on here..? Genuine question..not having a pop.. Saw something about it on Newsnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Contrary to popular belief, DLA is not means tested, so no, this new cap thing won't affect it! It won't happen anyway, it was defeated in the Lords last week. Ever heard of the Parliament Act..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
