Austerity

[Beanz]

Fuck the nurses, doctors, paramedics, firefighters, police, cps, court staff, social workers, probation workers, etc. They must all be feckless wasters to be affected by austerity.Scrounging bastards.

Fuck the children whose parents have to resort to using food banks because the benefits they paid for, before losing their job, didn't come thru yet. They can eat at school what are they whinging about?

Talk about scraping the barrel in order to apologise for the nasty bastards who have wrecked the UK and turned on the 97% for the last 9yrs.

Gandalf you sound like a Tory Ghoul that even Scrooge would be ashamed to associate with.

Many of us earn less than a decade ago, Beanz. It is the same for me as anyone in an economic sense. No different to police, nurses, teachers etc. I am about 10% down compared to 8 years ago. It is the way it goes, but I am happy with my choices. I buy what I need guzzling shale at 80 bucks a month and what have you.

Those same nasty bastards gave me that meal and made sure I did not die in the streets despite irresponsible parents. Thank you Tories. One can be poor but okay and as soon as I could I worked secretly for 2.50 an hour before school in the grocery shop meaning there was always something. I would have gone up a chimney if it paid. Must have been 14 or 15 then. Then it was washing dishes in a restaurant. There has always been work if you want it. Children have agency even if the parents do not.

Even back home last year I asked about a supermarket job just to see if basic work was there. It seems it was and that would be 7.80 an hour now. You cannot complain really for easy work like that. There are many who won't even make that step as the Tories continue to give out freebies to disincentive.

People are dead mate. It is not about the workshy and feckless, do you not even understand that very simple point? For a bright lad I have to assume you are being willfully ignorant. The unemployed never broke the economy, the fucking present Chancellor was one of the bastards that did, and then hid his bonus in a tax free offshore bank account. It is has nothing to do with not wanting to work. I didn't get where i am on anyone's coat tales, and the fuckers kicked me in the teeth again, and again. You do yourself a huge disservice by being such a mean and spiteful man that you would resent somebody earning a living wage in order to make yourself feel 'special'.

I have a very close friend since childhood who is a paramedic, prosecutors and barristers i worked with, council workers, social workers etc who have all seen and been at the sharp end of 'Austerity'. They worked hard to get were they are and to help others and it has cost them and the people they spend their working day helping dear. It is not some vague idea for us, it is a reality.
