Laziness

[Highway Man]

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?

 

[morqthana]

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

So they wouldn't get UC when doing it?

 

[ReganAndCarter]

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.

 

[ReganAndCarter]

They tend to be the higher management type.

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

 

[Notch7]

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

 

[Mottie]

I've corrected that for you Notch.

If you want to do that you need to say what percentage are lazy, otherwise for the sake of petty argument, I will stupidly assume you are implying all benefit claimants are lazy
