Which ever government is in will not take the hit and say what must people in this country want
"If you don't have a job you don't come in". I watched news night last night and some young nit said that we leave England, yes we do but we don't go and scrounge on the government in those countries. Those that leave Britain go because they have a job or can afford to retire in Spain, Greece or warmer climates. In fact I don't think you get that much in benefits in these other European countries.
I have always said that anyone coming to the UK, regardless whether from Poland, Australia, India, or Africa should only be allowed in if they have enough money to support themselves for 3 months, have a sponsor who has paid a bond for them to be here and have a good prospect of a job or are employed already.
Our pensions suffer, employers now have to start paying another form of Tax called a pension, NI was suppose to be for pension and the NHS, now its just paid out in benefits for people with 8 kids that live in London in large houses.
Most people who have worked all their lives and suddenly find themselves unemployed are told to sell their houses before they can have any benefits and really piss away everything they have worked for. What kind of country do we live in, sorry society?
Did anyone watch the big build SOS where that lady took in her friends children when she died. She was told to sell her house and give up work if she wanted help, where was the 'you are doing a wonderful thing, here let us help you get sorted with a little more space', had she just arrived off a boat with 7 kids she would have been housed in a large house, probably flat screen TV's in every room and more money than she actually needed.
Poverty is where you can't afford to go to the take away, where your house doesn't have TV, Automatic washing machine, tumble dryers, playstations, poverty is trying to scrape together enough money to buy food and pay the rent.
When I was a kid we had nothing, my dad was trying to build a business which meant everything went back into it, I made my own clothes at 11, buying remnants from Boyes' in their February sale. Who does that these days?
So if the Government would get its finger out of its arse and seriously ask the UK residents who work what we think they probably wouldn't like the answer and\or ignore our pleas, we can't keep paying for everyone that wants to sponge. This other nit whit said that they go to other countries like France and Germany, how come then they are all waiting at the borders to get across the channel!
Sorry just had to get it off my chest, as I hate it when I hear that someone who has never worked doesn't want to and why should they for less than they get. I think those on dole etc who have never worked should be classed as lower earners and have to go around the parks or the roads and pick up litter, the community pays them so they should contribute to the community. So what if they don't earn the average hourly wage, or its below them. We would have a cleaner country and maybe just maybe they would learn to understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch. As costs rise for employers and many business's are closing, those working are paying more tax and NI, no one ever mentions the NI! we get less and less for it, most private sector employee's have foregone payrises to keep their jobs, but not in the public sector they demand and get together with rises for those on benefits.
The elderly deserve a lot more money than they have, they paid their way, why should those who have private pensions and have paid into them for their future then be penalised for wanting to ensure they sustain a standard of living but they should also get a full state pension, after all they contributed to that as well.
Enough otherwise I could write all night. Hope this has given you some food for thought.
