Oh so the people who millions of pounds from bogus PPE contracts are really hard working people?

What did they do for their money?

Or Tory MPs like Owen Paterson, he got £500,000 from Randox for simply persuading govt to give them big contracts. That’s £500k of effectively taxpayers money for doing nothing. Did he work hard for his £500k?

Aree any of those people on the dole and receiving handouts?

Where do you think that Randox got the money they paid to Paterson?

It is called community service, it is not a paid job.

So they wouldn't get UC when doing it?

If I buy anything online and I see the courier is sent by Evri, I do not buy from them.

I sometimes begrudgingly still buy the item if no other choice and providing I won't be needing it in the next 3 or 4 weeks.

Work smart; not hard.

I dont think picking litter and sweeping pavements fall into the skilled labour category

But its all very important to how a country works from the ground up

Absolutely, same as bin men and other jobs we take for granted that will be done.

The point is this:

If you force people to do a job, even if it isn't a skilled one, don't be surprised if they aren't motivated to do it well.

And this is what happens with big construction firms in London.

Part of the deal is that the sub contractors have to take on local boys (general) as apprentice electricians and plumbers.

Very few last. I knew not 1 that lasted. They dont want the hard graft that they perceive trades to be.

Whats the point in forcing someone who wants to be a rap artist to be a painter and decorator.

Not all handouts are the dole

No I mean the ones who wont work or make excuses for not working, you are giving examples of people that I would not consider as lazy people. Typical of you to completely mis understand.

So do you accept these people who make up the vast majority, are genuine claimants?

Like people that can’t work because they are on an NHS waiting list
Or people with a disability
Or people with a terminal illness
Or people with a progressive disease
Or a woman escaping domestic violence
Or a person that had a bad work injury and can’t work
Or a person that serious mental health issue like PTSD
Or a person that is a carer for a relative

Ah so the point of your thread was actually just to call poor people on benefits lazy.

If you want to do that you need to say what percentage are lazy, otherwise you are implying all benefit claimants are lazy

I've corrected that for you Notch.

You really are an idiot.
Im a caretaker at a school on less than 30 grand a year.

The school doesn't function well without a good caretaker and 3 great cleaners. Or the kitchen staff and the dinner lady's.

Laziness comes in all form of age gender and wealth.

The wealthy can afford to be lazy. But generally they haven't got where they are by being lazy.

I worked on the council estates off Cable street and mint street a short walk from the square

️ mile.

Lots of families lived in squala yet they most probably cleaned the offices of those earning millions.

We found out with lock down how important cleaners, truck/van drivers were.
Those stacking shelfs, the bin men. All important jobs that didn't get the pay they deserve.

Notch is a complete idiot and agitator. He will try and twist everything to unsettle those he claims to care for and represent.

If he's not an idiot. Hes a bot.
