I have no problem with genuinely disabled people getting the help that they need to live their lives. However there are lot of people claiming pip with mild depression or anxiety. The number of people in the uK who are econcomically inactive is far higher than our European neighbours. 1 in 8 young people (18-24) are now NEETS (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). This is unsustainable. Also many disabled people get a free car to help them get around, and they havee it replaced every 3 years. Who replaces their car every 3 years?, and why do they have to get a new car, not second hand.
Also I hope they don't scrap the two child benefit cap. Having children is a lifestyle choice and if you can't afford to have more than 2 children, the tax payer should not have to shell our for your irresponsible action. You could say it is not the 3rd kid's fault, but then you could say that people with children shouldn't go to prison, because it would adversetly affect their children. People need to be responsible for their own actions.
In some communities (where you are allowed more than one wife), if you have about 15 children, the taxpayers still have to support them if they are claiming for them.
When we were younger, it was almost unheard of for young adults to be claiming and not be doing some sort of job or training. I know Maggie started a job training scheme, but I think it was minimum wage and travel expenses paid for, but many employers took advantage of their young trainers.
I don't know much about the Job Centre when it comes to placements and training, but I do get a young lad approaching me every week asking me to be his driver's mate. If I could afford it, I would take them on. I did think about taking him as a volunteer and maybe buy him a pub lunch now and then, but I was advised not to due to insurance reasons, and it could affect his dole money.
Do the Job Centre offer training or placements where you get paid minimum wage?
I do know the only placements the Job Centre offered were with supermarkets, B&Q and Primark. I made a mistake asking someone about some tools and masonry wall plugs in B&Q. The young guy had no idea, he found the oldest member of staff he could find to help me, almost a coffin dodger. When I explained, the lad also showed me duct tape instead of electrical tape; his eyes rolled.
The older gent explained we get young people in every time from the Job Centre, without a clue about DIY. This was about 10 years ago. |
