Anxiety seems to be high up on the list. Fear of work?

No doubt there are genuine folk out there who suffer from heavy duty anxiety and depression.

However the government and others are now, quite rightly, talking about over diagnosis of such conditions. In short, folk who are at it getting signed off.

Folk, mainly the young, seem increasingly incapable of differentiating between day to day anxiety etc that we just need to deal with, and real anxiety that merits assistance.

Really?

If you want to get some money, can you get it from people who've got some? Or from people who haven't?

What are you blethering about? Are you in the Notch fan club? I see you conveniently quoted only part of my post.

Notch & John D could actually be the same person or just both moderators on here - either way they both come over the same

I quoted the part I was responding to.

The other nonsense did not merit a response.

I wonder if there was some way of doing something in exchange for money? What a novel idea that could be.

People who have regular jobs with decent pay, contribute to the nation in many ways, including NI and income tax.

I'm very much in favour.

Feck off troll.

Another one who cries "troll" when someone says something they disagree with.

I didn't know you were such a delicate flower, pet.

It would be nice to see the likes if Amazon paying their bit, rather than claiming all their UK profits were actually generated in Belize.

Well it looks like that's where most of their employees come from. And the state of their vans!!!! Jeez!!

Any fecker that works for them got a real, genuine licence?

I suspect there is massive sub contracting because many/most of the deliveries seem to be in clapped out vehicles.

Around our way, it is the DPD ones that drive like they are filming an episode of Deadly Drivers UK, or whatever it is called.

Many suffer from a bone disease. Bone idleness.

I agree.

This big increase in anxiety, especially amongst the younger generation is very concerning.

Society has an increased awareness of mental health these days, which is a good thing.
But could that in itself have created a rise in mental health issues

Could there be a correlation that increased awareness in society creates an inability to deal with it.


I believe that life now is very different to when we were growing up in the 1970s……there’s clearly massive pressure now on physical appearance, we get women in their early 20s having botox, those big eyebrow things, far more makeup….surely that can’t be good for mental health

More job losses then.

Worse than that...

Pat McFadden, the minister who oversees the royal family’s multibillion-pound estate, remarked on Tuesday that “you can’t tax and borrow your way out of the need to reform the state”. But you can tax the super-rich and use the cash to invest in disability support – Labour has simply chosen not to. ... the rules for Pip alone could see up to 1.2 million people lose between £4,200 and £6,300 a year, according to the Resolution Foundation, the majority of whom are already in some of the poorest households in the country.

Why shouldn't people who're well-to-do contribute to the support and care for those less well off? This is just one of the many reasons people stopped voting Labour - and why some of them support Reform. They think Farage will be different.

Amazon drivers pizz in bottles and throw it out the window

Never pick up a bottle that looks like it’s got apple juice in it
