Is there any wonder some of our young don’t want to work.

Won't happen, this is the 21st Century, and we have laws that forbid "work houses".

 

Who do you think stitched together your Primark pants Rich?

Benefits too high, minimum wage too high.

 

Lower minimum wage to £4.75. Encourage manufacturing jobs back from China.

 

That's an extremely good idea, since the UK imports most of it's goods from abroad and therefore the cost of living is largely out of the hands of the UK public and government. Foreign exporters can increase the cost of goods to the UK ensuring we remain uncompetive as British workers have to ask their employers for wages increases just to survive.

Petrol is a luxury, bread is a necessity.

 

And how is Waitrose going to get its bread delivered, by horse and cart?

Is there any wonder some of our young don’t want to work.

 

Young man age 18 was unemployed and receiving £56.25 now working and receiving £81 per week, he lives with unemployed parents and they don’t pay rent or council tax, because he now works, he as to pay £35 a week rent to the council and £10 a month council tax. He is now £12 a week worse off than not working.

 

The vast and overwhelming majority of our young people do want to work, and are fighting for places.

Do not tar them all with same brush, as those idiots we see hanging about all day.

50 years ago, there was no such thing as youth unemployment.

 

But today, there is no work for them, anywhere.

Stop trolling, I do not shop at Waitrose.

Get down to Poundland and purchase a jar of 'sense of humour.'

People could survive perfectly well on lower wages if they weren't paying massive amounts of tax to prop up your precious, expensive, wasteful public services.

Right, so heres what we do.

Tax the highearners at say, 95% for every pound above 150k, below that at 20%.

Then all that money is divied up among the lower paid at an equal rate.

 

We would still all be paying tax, and could still keep our services.

 

BTW have you seen all that nonsense today at Windsor Castle?

Who is paying for all that tripe?

Oh, you work for £1 per hour then. Countries like Norway and Sweden have the best standard of living in europe if not the world because their public services are heavily funded. But you don't want that do you, you're just happy to jump on people because you can't abide them making a bigger sucess of themselves than you have.

You'd be surprised, Rich, how many are working for very little, not paying tax etc - woe betide the upcoming generations when the pot is empty
