Andrew - we HAVE to get back to the real world !
A world where you earn THEN spend - not the other way round (and expect someone else to pick up the bill when you can't !)
People used to live at home until well into their 30s (in the days before they gave away houses that someone else would pay for) - and that was the norm.
People also got a job / got a girlfriend / got a house and got a baby (usually in THAT order too !)
The "hands out" / "something for nothing brigade" has to STOP.
Yes I agree times have changed when kids grow up parents like downsize their homes so it's just mummy and daddy there.
When I left home had a mice invested drug den of a bedsit and a small job, job finished then decided to landlord sell up, I moved back home slept on my dad's sofa for 6 weeks then was told to move out as he was moving to a 1 bed flat with my late step mother. I then moved around in various flats in different towns, had jobs and girlfriends I still have no kids.
My last private flat I had I could no longer live there to housing benefits being reduced and are not this lucky ITK, if she didn't ask me to move in I be fucked for a while, I'm 27 but my landlord put price up, luckily my girlfriend asked me to move in her council flat. Most people dad wouldn't want me living with him and I don't want to live with him.
Just remember it's piss easy to tell people to get any job etc but it's fucking hard getting any job, even people in their 50's are finding it hard to get work and worked most of their lives.
There is nothing degrading about working in poundland or anywhere else if you do it to the best of your ability with goodwill!
There might not be anything degrading but if you studied hard and spent thousands on a degree you can't use and end up in retail, that is nothing but a kick in the teeth. |

You don't know that .... they could be in lucrative jobs by now.
No they haven't got lucrative jobs, I'm in contact with them.
Thats their problem ! .... no reason why WE should pay for it !

I know several young people sitting around with a media degree in one hand and a dole cheque in the other.
People do degrees as they hope for a bright future, it must be degrading when they are forced to do unpaid work in Poundland etc.

There ARE jobs for those that are qualified, honey! Unemployment goes DOWN every month and there are more people in work than EVER before.
Perhaps some people should stop breeding?
You believe these figures ITK, there is no evidence behind them every 6 months thousands are put on the work programme. |
