I1L2T3 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Are poor people not in debt to loan sharks? Some are. It would be better if the likes of Wonga were shut down. Hopefully they will be - I hate their guts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I1L2T3 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 There are more folk in work than at any time in the countries history. Over 1 million private sector jobs have been created in the last 2 1/2 years. The problem is that Europe is in recession and countries like Spain, and Greece have unemployment at well over 20%. Under EU rules we cannot prevent them coming here and taking the jobs whilst many of the 2.5 million out of work here are better off on benefits than in work. I don't know why we signed up to the Treaty of Rome, but there is little we can do about it. However increasing benefits will just make more folk here think they are better off not working and create even more jobs for migrant workers. The agreement to allow 29 million Bulgarians and Romanians into our country was made 7 years ago. For the last 5 years we have been in an economic crisis. Now it is becoming an emergency because of the failure of coalition economic policy. What is the coalition doing, in the light of its economic failure, to prevent further mass immigration next year? It is on their watch. Their economic failure means we can't now absorb the numbers. What are they going to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then what will people do when they need money quickly? Turn to illegal loan sharks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-bean Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 And I must acknowledge that it is working. As Kate Pickett, co-author of The Spirit Level which details the impact of inequality, noted on Newsnight just a couple of weeks ago, attitudes towards the poor have hardened over the last 2 years. On the same programme Peter Lilley, former Secretary of State for Social Security, sought to justify the term 'undeserving poor', and Michael Portillo on Radio 4's The Moral Maze was championing the process of stigmatisation only last week. It doesn't take much to see the plan behind this policy, but it is clearly effective. However, thoughtful and reflective folk can usually see right through such nonsense. Those that forget the past are doomed to repeat it. And what we see today is from the not so distant past. But how can it be that people are so unintelligent to see what is right in front of them? Dont people read anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Then what will people do when they need money quickly? Turn to illegal loan sharks? The legal loan sharks are worse in many ways. Why not just let people have enough money to meet rising living costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are they going to do? Surely the record employment figures & mass immigration into the UK by folks arriving to take UK jobs is a clear indication that our policies are working better than in the EU as a whole. Otherwise it would be British unemployed flocking to mainland Europe to take the jobs being created there. The reason our unemployed aren't heading across the channel is there are no jobs there and they are better off here claiming benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
