We've had Brexit and the martyrdom, we've seen the majority of older people alive today admit that they're willing to impoverish their own family members to achieve Brexit, and we need to combat this with the spirit of dead Grandad. We want to create the social mobility and strong social safety net which dead Grandad made for his kids, but make it work for the 21st century.
jac_the_gripper: I'd be interested in more details of that scheme, Rumps.
I'm not clear about what you're saying.
Perhaps you can run through what the scheme does for an individual - how basic is the income, what do they do to earn it, how do they come to move to the countryside, eduction, qualifications, what work opportunities are available to them after the scheme including transport access to where work is - things like that.
.....I can answer that.......you simply write a letterto the goverment....saying your are a immigrant.....who has never paid taxes and never will.....demard £800 per week + all benifits.....within 3 days the cheque will arrive +benifits......which will allow you to sit back and enjoy life........while watching the news on your 50 inch tele..............meanwhile your family can go shopping for nick/nacs....at Harrods........
mollybaby: Why shouldn't he pay for university fees if he can afford it?
If his daughter wants a 4-bedroom house in a nice area, let her save up for it. She is one of the lucky ones who has had a good education and a good job.
Not everybody is that lucky.
Whether through being born where they were born, or into poverty, or whatever.
Everybody deserves a basic standard of living.
The better the overall standard of living in our countries, and in the world at large, the better off we all will be.
The same people who complain about billions being spent on housing and education for emigrants are surprisingly quiet when it comes to the billions being spent on the arms which bomb them out of their own homelands.
..your a good woman.......why not send em all that money you spent in spain.....if that makes you feel less guilty.......why should you enjoy yourself.......while their getting bomb out.......

My country isn't bombing them out of their own countries.
Our treatment of refugees is still abysmal though. We don't take in enough, and we don't treat them with enough human dignity when they do arrive.
We are all on this earth together, for a very short length of time. Treating other humans inhumanely doesn't improve our lives. It reduces it.

Since the referendum and after the election, many of us drawing pensions now legally, having payed all our lives have heard that said several times always from your age group. BUT if they are asked to give specific examples they fail to do so.
I would ban all benefits for those who refuse to work or get qualifications that will allow them to be more attractive to the employers... I'll ban extra benefits for fatties and alcoholics too...
mollybaby: I'd get rid of speed limits. They are generally only to collect revenue for the state. The vast majority will drive at safe limits anyway. And those that won't speed already. But catching someone for going a small amount over the official speed on a good road is ridiculous.

What extra benefits do "fatties and alcoholics" have??
MikeD12: OK Darling DD Q's Do you like Fish & Chips and Chinese Food (not on the same day) And say two bottles of Cote's Du Rhone Villages for starters - Before You wear the Micro Thong Bikini & High heels
Deedee123x: If you could change one Law in your country which would it be and why...what would you change about it??
i would make it compulsary for all those claiming benifits to work in a Government Industry of some kind. Not being mean but it keeps the work ethic up and SOME would not end up with corns on their backside.
I saw an interview the other day, food bank place, "and why do you need food bank ??? UH because i am an alcaholic and have no money for food and rent Yep i do no some need a bit of help---teach how to shop and cook good food low cost food.
Saw another lady " what has brought you here today"" I cant work as i am obese and cant get around, as someone shouts at her YOU CAN'T SMOKE IN HERE.
Now this makes me mad as the people deserving help do not get it.
Labour will stop all tution fees if the get in----i am old enough to remember np fees policy and half student were just having time out drop out year, that would get to me.
