It's actually the other way round, they want the youth unemployment higher than the over 30s because they pay them less and most are living with parents so don't have to find rent etc.. By doing this, the government saves approximately 2.5 billion pounds each year..

After COVID emergency ends. get ready for austerity all over the world. Austerity would end upon the surplus surpassing the COVID spending levels.

benefits culture started in the noughties under Blair/Brown. It grew to huge numbers back then.

Robbie the Pict Oh don't we know that feeling only too well. I am severely disabled and have a small works pensions as I had to retire early. It has cost a fortune during the pandemic, yet we were left out as usual. My fear is that even if the brave people take up the cases of the likes of us on ESA I will not get the money even if they win. The reason being I am paid £8 too much for Universal Credit and I am on earned ESA rather than means tested. The fact that I would be better off on Means Tested benefits as I would be more free is irrelevant to ministers.

You will get the money you are entitled too. The DWP will appeal and lose again. When they changed incapacity benefit to ESA I lost £25 from my benefit and I got the money back dated from 2010. Universal credit, JSA and ESA are all on the same rate, yet UC got an extra £20 a week during the pandemic. The Courts are going to love that discrimination by the DWP. Good luck and stay strong.

Robbie the Pict. Thanks hon for your kind words. All the best.💖

Just shut up

Another ignorant rude person, reported.

@@ynottteris Tony, told to shut up by Master P because you speak the truth !!!

I’m getting UC as a top-up for Carer’s Allowance, and the £20 a week cut is a massive loss. I’m a full-time, live-in carer for my severely disabled mother, and have health problems myself that make it hard for me to leave the house, so there is no way I can just go out and find work. This government have absolutely no clue.

That's an understandable point of view. But think of the children, they don't choose whether they are born or not. No child benefit means children have to suffer because of their parents.

Okay, so say a family is working and suddenly the parent(s) lose their job. Should the children just starve? What an ignorant statement.

@@C-Rex1 To begin, your use of ignorant is incorrect; consult a dictionary and you'll find that it is applicable to you. With regard to the unemployed parent(s) who may have starving children: a safety net should be in place whereby benefit, eg UC, would have a child increment in the event of job loss. Thus if you were employed you supported your children from your wages/ salary, if not the DWP helped out. I have seen young couples with three children of pre school age and neither parent working, or having ever worked; why should they be given money for having brats because they are sexually incontinent, cannot figure out how to take a pill or insert the male organ of generation into a prophylactic?

I have been a registered disabled person since 1986 but it didn't stop me from working for quite a while; however, when I did cease I was given a disability increment followed by DLA plus full HB and CTR, so I couldn't complain. The £20 extra was always going to be a temporary measure, how much went on drink and tobacco? ' ect ' ?

@@paulweir5031 i know a lot of disabled people work natually, as i suffer from epilepsy, colitis asthma . the extra £20 for the lockdown was for working famiies as well as those with disabilities. the fact that wages have fallen below inflation and the cost of food has risen can t be ignored. i can nt say what people spend there money on but sadly of course you will always have those minority groups who do that. that doesn't mean the money is nt needed. Hunger is there ,we need something apart from the food bank

@@cosmicmusicreynolds3266 It isn't a cut, it was a short term measure. What about the people not on UC who didn't receive the extra £20? What about the frontline workers who kept things going for no extra pay while putting their lives at risk?

@@susanelliott2287 plus, not all of us are entitled to PIP been disabled since 2014, but since i still have use of all limbs and can wash myself, no entitlement, even though iv been sofa-bound or bedridden 23hrs a day for years at a time and i also lost my capacity for understanding, talking and thinking in language and had to re-learn everything due to brain inflammation, ANS and CNS brain system dysfunction. There's so little recognition for 'invisible' disabilities :( This means i have been in 'lockdown' since feb 2014. i cannot afford taxi, hobbies etc that make life bearable on my good days when i COULD do stuff, now that my condition has stabilized and heading towards reintegration/convalescence. I have internet, but no tv license etc. That said, iv managed to avoid the use of foodbanks since ive been in receipt of ESA. but it doesnt help that i cannot afford to start reintegrating with the real world until i can do full employment, if i ever manage to reverse my condition that far, nor can i do the work i previously did, nor can i afford to retrain. I have lost ALL my old friends and cannot afford a companion pet also, so the 7 years of isolation, only being able to have real life interaction with my mum n step-dad has had a deleterious effect on my mental health and a tendency to give up my efforts towards remission. Luckily, i havent lost hope of a full recovery and iv just started therapy thanks to my nan

Sorry to hear of all your problems hon. I am trained on benefits and with no disrespect it sounds to me with all that is wrong with you, you should be entitled to PIP.

It really doesnt

100% agree, so much uc money gets wasted on people (with no dependants or disabilities) that don’t clearly need it and can work full time. The government needs stricter protocols on who really needs UC and who don’t and maybe offer more to the people who actually do really need it. jobs are out there.

Get what I mean....

It is NOT the dole that is the whole point it is UNIVERSAL credit because it covers six or seven other benefits, the dole is purely just job seekers.

Because they want to show black people are the poorest when there are many non black people who are poor.

BAME people are disproportionately affected by these issues because of cultural and societal biases, but obviously with an 80ish% white population, huge numbers of white people are affected too

Channel 4 News and other news companies like BBC, ITV, Sky, Telegraph, Guardian etc show white people as well in their other videos.

@@theminisimmer yeah £200 would be nice 👍

@Chris Longden When did the government take "all natural resources"? Most of it just requires privately held companies to abide by certain regulations. Also, the government has no obligation to clothe, house, or feed you. The reason why some people have a higher standard of living is because they either worked hard (promoted at a job), were well educated (and worked hard), took huge financial risks (investments into stocks or a new business), or inherited wealth (their ancestors likely worked hard). Money doesn't grow on trees; it has to be earnt. Every able-bodied child has the potential to live comfortably if they are willing to work hard. Treating yourself as the victim and living off government subsidies in ensures that you are perpertually impoverished (and a total loser, and waste of oxygen, might I add).
