Has Sunak gone mad? Where is the money for all these freebies coming from? You have millions of economically inactive people in this country who are bleeding the country dry year on year! Even before the pandemic with Brexit on the horizon the economy was destined for the trash can and now with all these giveaways who is going to pay for them at the end of the day?
Furlough is just Welfare V2, it should never have been introduced in the first place. No other country has replicated such a generous scheme. All those people on the beaches and parks oblivious to social distancing openly boasted to the media we're on furlough what else you expect us to do?! Stay at home perhaps as the guidance expected you to do.
Also what about that elephant in the room where billions are slurged to fund those who cant be bothered to work, namely welfare?
Rather than splurge billions on discounted wagamama sunak should minimalise or abolish large sections of welfare altogether. The UK welfare budget is 200 billion+ imagine if that was bared down 90-95%+ how much that would save and enable some kind of sanity to the UK budget vs endless borrowing to fund idleness.
What percentage of the UK's adult population is dependent on the welfare state? The welfare state is a big part of British family life, with 20.3 million families receiving some kind of benefit (64% of all families) as per research done for the Guardian, that is shocking in itself.
Look at the list of possible welfare candy on offer:
Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA)
Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
Income Support.
Housing Benefit.
Council Tax Support/Reduction.
Support with Mortgage Interest (SMI)
Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
Universal Credit
Clothing Grants
Food vouchers
Carers allowance
Tax credit
Incapacity benefit
Maternity Grant
Child benefit/Child tax credit
There are more this just a sample of the benefits buffet on offer..
Sunak should scrap the lot of it and get these lazy sods back to work. Giving welfare to the idle means they have no idea of the meaning of money or the idea you should work and earn your keep. Why should they when they know other fools work on there behalf? Ditch the lot Sunak if you tell someone right no welfare heres a job, your choice you think they are going to keep saying I am too depressed to work?
My friend is a GP he says around 50% of the people who visit are simply trying to game the welfare system and maximise the amount of free money they can get out of the system with pseudo illnesses like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and other illnesses that cant be proved. Same for being too depressed to work, another cop out. Also he gets at least 10 requests a day for letter request so they can scrounge a bigger council house. Why bother getting mortgage and working hard to get a bigger house when you can simply go and moan to the council for a bigger one instead? Hes not surprised such a huge number dont bother turning up for assessments he says they either realise the game is up and dont bother or they were too drunk on the day and forgot!
Sunak the only people benefiting from welfare are the likes of Netflix, Sky and the local off licenses. As exposed last week in Nottingham those pitching up to the food bank driving a mercedez while holding a brand new iphone show that the welfare system needs to be scrapped once and for all. Only if you stop giving other peoples money to the bone idle will they be incentivised to get off their butt and do something once in their life. At the minute the welfare gang are kinda bored so now represent a large chunk of the Tiktok community making videos and asking for more money from fools that donate!
I saw an advert on a bus the other day saying drive this bus get 23k. Thats 23k minus tax, NI, mortgage, council tax etc etc
Am surprised there isnt an advert saying do f all and get the equivalent of a 40k+ salaried job for doing absolutely sod all other than filling in a few welfare forms and sitting back!
Thing is they dont need an advert do they given that millions of households are doing it already as ONS stats prove year on year.
Sunak, ditch welfare thats the only kick up the backside that is going to force these idle sods back into work. Why have we got 3 million Eastern Europeans doing unskilled work here because local idle Brits find a combo of welfare, netflix and beer an easier proposition? Stop the gravy train scrap welfare and furlough which is just another name for welfare and get these idle millions off their backside. You wouldnt need to import labour if you didnt have such a large % of the population doing f all apart from full time benefit claiming.
