Some people are beneath whatever is beneath contempt.Some people are beneath contempt.
I bet by the time you’d finished your hard days graft dealing with these layabouts you were ready for your pint with all your black and gay friends!Nice solid input
Well I guess that's the point universal credit and child benefit is meant to address all minimum standards of living.
I have previously worked in welfare to work and the things people believe to be a necessity are just ridiculous... They will count sky, cigarettes and alcohol above feeding their children for example.
Nice one mateFurther to my Facebook post the other night a lady has got in touch and herself and a friend are wanting to work with me to setup a local community food bank where people will have the option of collecting pre packed meals, seperate ingredients or hot meals.
We've decided on all 3 of those options as some people may not be able to afford utility rates as well as food so we are covering all bases.
You mean so far left of you. Centrists like me seem Marxist to you because you're an extremistHowever, this place is so far left it is incredible.
This highlights the problem we face with a right wing led media throwing phrases like "doogooders", "loony left" and "marxists". But the problem is balanced policies, centrist and soft left, even some soft right is now being classed as "loony left". It's a dangerous problem, which is breaking our national psycheBelieving in feeding children is not the sole purview of the Communist.
I agree with the line in the sand argument, and in more sedate times this is pretty much the political struggle at the heart of the two parties. However, we're currently in a 'national crisis' where 'unprecendented times' has led to lots of norms being thrown out of the window - contracts awarded without tender process, a government in thrall to the private sector, huge amounts of money spent on Moonshots - so its galling to see that 'conservative principles of small state' kick in and so many MPs choke on their subsidised lunches when it comes to ensuring the poorest kids get better access to regular meals.
My own position is that as a relatively rich country with a manageable population we're only as strong as the least fortunate people in society, and the state should be there to stop people falling through the cracks because destitution is wholly avoidable. Sickening to see a majority government actively pushing for it, just to 'own the libs' and 'do-gooders'. I even think that the meals at Westminster should be subsidised and MPs should be on a higher salary if it allows people of different walks of life to be able to get involved.
