MrSmith Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I think you have a rather rose tinted view of the world, friends will not put people up indefintely, particularly when if the same age they will often live with their parents or in shared houses anyway so won't be able to. Charities and the church probably couldn't cope with the influx of people needing help. There are no jobs now. I left home at 16 and did not have the option of returning to my parents at all. I worked and supported myself but if the situation was as it is these days with no jobs I would have been on the street. It's a really stupid idea. No just a realistic view that workers can't be expected to pay for non worker indefinitely, which has been the case for too long, its time the unemployed took some responsibility for their own lives. It will give them the motivation to find a job. And as I said in my early post if you have worked and contributed you should continue getting HB for six months before you are expected to find alternative accommodation.

MrSmith Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 What makes you assume that they are all, without exception, not working out of choice? I haven't assumed they are all not working out of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Maybe the church should but their money where their mouth is and give their vast wealth to the poor. Or use their own money to conduct repairs on their churches rather than asking for donations from parishioners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSmith Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Yes you have, by claiming that they could go and get a job. Under 25's in full time work with no children can't get HB so they can go out and get job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Under 25's in full time work with no children can't get HB so they can go out and get job. That makes no sense; people in full time work already have a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 That makes no sense; people in full time work already have a job. Yes, so they can't claim HB so the under 25's that do claim it must not be in full time work and can go out and find a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yes, so they can't claim HB so the under 25's that do claim it must not be in full time work and can go out and find a job. What jobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 What jobs? The jobs that 250,000 immigrants manage to find every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
