I lost my job in October and have been forced to claim ( for the first time I might add ) and so far I have received sweet FA! The system is corrupt - I have worked since leaving school in 1976 and even before when I worked as a Saturday girl in a bakery now at the age of 57 my health is failing - despite that I still want to go back to work not because I,m well enough but because I don,t want this performance every time I ask for what is rightfully mine!!!!!!!!!!!!

What baffles me is that so many of my fellow working class people are utterly seduced by the likes of the Sun and the stories it prints and are the most vocal and vicious about anyone on benefits. I try to tell so many that they're doing exactly what they want but they never seem to realise. So frustrating

"A lot of people won't be comfortable being called Far-right as members of UKIP" - oh right, but it's OK for large sections of the media and our politicians to tar huge swathes of Labour members as 'Far Left' or 'Hard Left'? The fact is whether or not they are comfortable with it, UKIP is a Far-Right party.

StickySprite Well I ain't a Corbyn supporter, but I guess I can admit I'd probably be considered far left by today's standards, although I'd be considered centre-left at most by the standards of the 50s and 60s due to politics shifting right so much in the last 30-40 years.

It doesn't pay to work I was surprised to see this where I work. Some agency lads that swept up emptied bins and we're always painting around the vast site had interviews for some vacancies and got took on the books permanently. They were all pleased job security etc etc. A few months later I was surprised to see one of the lads back doing his old job back on the agency. He told me he had a young family and the 25 grand starting salary was not enough once he paid taxes bills rent etc. I was quite shocked. but he said why work shifts for less money. I walked away thinking have I got it all wrong I've been working shifts since 1988?

I am completely disappointed with all political parties in the UK and do not support any of them. As such I don't have a political axe to grind. The one thing that Diane Abbot didn't mention is that it was in fact a Labour government who awarded Atos the original contract to start these work capability interviews. The misery for many has just been propagated by successive governments.

labour introduced them, the tories gave the assessments TEETH… BIG difference. you seem to be blaming labour for the behaviour of the tories, when labour never intended for the assessment process to be as cruel as it is in current form. the tories have been in power for 11 years, they’ve had plenty of time to ‘fix’ these evil assessors/assessments from private companies… they don’t want to fix them because they don’t think there’s an issue. the tories like disabled people being stripped of their benefits, they get a sadistic kick out of it… even better to the tories if the disabled die after having their means to live stolen from them. i am politically homeless, so i say this with no bias.

Ken makes a lot of sense, but he's not mentioning something of great importance: there are many migrants and economic refugees on benefits and welfare, not just a lot of lazy English louts., and yes, what he says about the Sun (among others) is true up to a point.

The largest single cause of child poverty is poor people having children. The government should stop paying cash benefits to all young single mothers, say under the age of 25, and instead offer them and their children accommodation in homes for single mothers. The mothers can then go out to work while their children can be looked after by someone responsible.

@Widdekuu91 Жыл бұрын

And even better would be if there was less taboo on sex education and more money for birthcontroll, so that there wouldn't be single mothers like that.

Don't like Diane Abbott but one thing she did say and is the real problem - 75% of the budget is on Old Age Pension . Its the elephant in the room. People are living longer and its sapping up the money. When RP was introduced less than 5% lived long enough to claim it. Now 95% live to claim it. You don't have to be a maths expert to see what the problem is. Not one political party will hit this area as they hold the sway in elections (retired voters). She never gives solutions though and never states what labour would do as they need to address the retirement pension nuclear bomb.

Says the 40 year old virgin living off his mother, spending his life watching porn, playing x-box and wondering why the world doesn't love him the way his mummy does. Sad. And how the f**k do you know she didn't have a job before? She might have been made redundant and decided to retrain to contribute something useful to society. The only way you could ever do that is by dying in a RTA and having an organ donor card.
