effective opposition

Me too. I've worked long hours for close to thirty years and have
taken very little from the state. I've made choices that have even
saved the state money.

Yet all the state seems to want to do is take an ever-increasing share
of my income and use this to pay for central stupidity and funding the
feckless.

Still, looking on the bright side when it comes to my retirement the
state will look after me well I'm sure. Suppose it's only right since
they're taxing my attempts to provide for myself.

 

Pretty much, yes.

 

It's a uniform, get over it and concentrate on the points he made.

So you're proposing censoring the media and removing freedom of speech?

 

The revenue an individual could gain is small in comparison to that of a
large organisation, unless you know a secure way to earn 10% interest
before tax.

 

A friend from university just applied for a job. She made the 1st round
"short-list", which was nice. But, that 1st round had 80 candidates for
1 vacancy. There were 120 original applicants.

The feed-back she got was useful but essentially boiled-down to
something like, "we had nearly 80 identical newly graduated applicants
and trying to find anyone from that is a difficult task".

So there are some jobs out there and there are at least 120 people who
aren't feckless work-shy etc.

 

No don't clone them, think of the trees. Every developed world person is
consuming natural resources and an astounding rate. If we want to have a
nice retirement and our loved ones to continue after we're gone, then
the only answer is to depopulate the world so we can carry on in our
secure existence. ;-)

I find myself agreeing with Mr P.

 

Telesales isn't work, it's Purgatory.

 

I (used to) know plenty of people that would take a different view.

Well, it's the best one out there, being the latest one that HMG has put in
the public domain and key, being the one that is used by policy makers.

 

Unwieldy isn't it? WAG seems to be good at that. The cynic in me would say
that they make things complex as a delaying measure to actually spending
substantial amounts of money improving the infrastructure to make it viable
for people to travel to work. just like Westminster, they are very good at
forming committees to talk about how to do stuff. It took them about 5
years to develop the system.

Now those figures are in use they do concentrate the minds of *local*
politicians as the data are separated into small areas that represent their
constituencies. In my home county it has been a battle to persuade the Tory
council that there is are several clusters of poverty, in a county
perceived by most as affluent.

Dental cares in children is a significant indicator of poverty. Treating
the kids, who get free dental care remember, is a huge cost to the NHS.
Preventative work through schemes like Sure Start & Flying Start, where a
health visitor is involved with a family from before birth has an upfront
cost but will save the NHS more during the lifetime of the child.

Similarly, a project based here in Abergavenny, picked up in that measure,
identified that low birth weights were a significant problem. Kids with low
birth weight are more likely to have a learning difficulty or physical
illness and therefore less likely to be good little wage earners. Again,
health visitors working in schools with teenage girls and in the community
with expectant mums has raised birth weights significantly. Those kids are
much more likely to do well in school and go on to be self reliant, but the
mum might still need benefts for the next 18 years.

You have a very short term view of how to fix the fucked up country we live
in. There is no quick fix. The 2 projects above won't show any benefit to
the state for a generation

But it's paid Purgatory.

 

Since the infamous 'Iraq weapons of mass destruction' document was used
by policy makers, I've rather lost faith in this argument.

I can understand that view. It's not the only datum that I use to form my
opinion.

 

As opposed to a self fulflling job like fitiing Escort boot lids for
eight hours a day, or lying on your belly hacking at a coal seam with
a pickaxe.

 

My son and daughter found work within a week of returning from
university, my daughter in a restaurant and my son selling ice cream.

There's plenty of work out there at an entry level.

Careers (as you are discussing) may take longer to find.

 

Better than living off someone else's efforts.

I'm sure it's better than washing up in a restaurant, thank **** I
don't have to do either.

 

When I've wanted a job or to change job I've never found it difficult.
There is plenty of work out there, but sometimes you have to lower your
expectations and take what comes around. It does help if you have a
clue how to live within your means, and not spend 1500 quid a month on
socialising and eating out.

Of course. How else do we keep the words and actions of madmen from
corrupting the population?

and don't give me all that fucking crap about how fucking holy you are and
how much free speech is vital to the world because it is all just so much
fucking bollox and it would be nice if thick cunts like you simply
admitted it instead of wallowing in your bath of pure hypocrisy while
growing ever more gross on a diet rich in ignorance and denial.
