ordnance Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 1 No winter fuel allowance. Put a coat on. 2 No child benefit. If you can't afford them don't have them. 3 No money for translators. If you can't speak English get out. 4 No benefits for long term unemployed. Get a job. 5 No unnecessary cosmetic surgery on the NHS. If you want bigger tits pay for them yourself. If you are a boy and want to be a girl wear a dress.

henry d Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 If you was the Chancellor of The Exchequer, what spending cuts would y I would increase spending on education... I would make everyone on job seekers or benefits who are able to work i.e. not disabled or have very young kids report to the local community centre, council office, school or other nominated place and make them work. Cutting grass, painting, picking litter, caring for the elderly, clearing ditches, removing gum from the streets. In fact any job that the tax payers pay for. If they want to receive the benefits then they should earn them not sit on their *** and have it handed to them. If they have an interview or some training for a new job or something similar then that should take priority. I don't think decent hard working people who are out of work would have issue with this. If they don't want to do it they don't get any money. Really? Caring for the vulnerable by those who cannot or will not look after themselves properly, yeah your elderly family and kids first...

Robin128 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 That's a pity. The thing is we have had liberal social democracy foisted on us for generations. Millions upon millions of people are fed up with it but no one is allowed to discuss it in serious public debate because the liberal elite who promote each other to run our lives have decided how we should all think and what we should believe in. This is the tip of the iceberg. It should not be depressing, it should be an eye opener. It may be heresy but we don't all want to live identical lives in a socialist command economy with our thoughts and opinions dictated to us. The experiment has failed and we want our country back. That isn't fascist or extremist, it is the exact opposite. Rejoice, as the lady said. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chr15j Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) Trainee Solicitor with an international firm. Believe me, the ability to evaluate arguments critically as taught in the discipline of philosophy is invaluable and in my view isn't demonstrated as effectively by those who are graduates in other disciplines. Your point is slightly moot in that I didn't have a grant or loan, though people who have done the same as me with that funding are still more valuable to the economy than many who did subjects you believe to be 'proper'. I applaud you, I asume you either did joint law or gdl and lpc (my route) for me graduation from bpp(mature student) into the recession meant a tc was out of the question so I adapted. I would wager the lpc training was more helpful that philosophy. Also fair enuf for not costing the economy. I am happily corrected. However I fear you are the exception rather than the rule Edited December 10, 2012 by Chr15j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemini52 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 And how do they get on site? I'm NVQ level 3 bricklayer with the card and last time I worked on commercial sites you couldn't get through the gate without one because you wouldn't be insured. So how do the immigrant trades get in? There's no way in the world they're all qualified, I've seen the work some of them do. I was told on good authority they get a cscs card with out going through the correct procedures,i worked with a polish guy a few years back in frodsham,near Chester he had a card with just general operative on it but he told me he had no problem getting on site.The best thing he told me was when he registered for self employment,he got twelve grand grant to buy a vehicle to get about in,he bought a new car with the money and gave it to his girl friend, he had her old astra its a joke.I The last time i worked on site was the hilton hotel in liverpool a few years back it had many poles working threre,some good some bad they tended to keep themselves to themselves.

(Scotland doesn't use/need them) Immigrants must bring in job skills we need, Australian style. Break from the E.U. Return to Old British style. Limit the amount of children a family can have, Chinese style. Even more so if the family is full of criminal dole-rats. In fact, castration might be called for here! The 'three strikes and they're off' rule, I'll call it! Make a degree mean something again, with university graduates being the cream of the country's intellect, in the top 1%. English style. Promote healthy outdoor lifestyle and fitness, ahem, 'German' style (and no, I'm NOT a Nazi, it just cuts down on the strain on the NHS. And when all this is done, I'll still be 'multicultural'!

Willxx Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I don't think we should necessarily leave Europe but we should suspend payments into the EU until we feel we are in a position to recommence contributions to the EU kitty, we have contributed more than our fair share Also: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, you shouldn't be able to take in the loc unless you have a tc sorted or rather the tc should be 3 years in which you complete the lpc. But then bpp et al will lose out on selling unobtainable job hopes to the hopeful through a professional qualification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Don't forget companies who use tax loopholes also pay alot of tax. If they up sticks abroad govt get nothing. Its the old phrase 50% of something is better than nothing at all That's a contradiction. I assume you mean that there are a lot of indirect taxes associtaed with what they do i.e. their employees pay taxes. That's not the same is it? If you believe Starbucks then they have never made a profit in the UK. If that was really true then they should have, and would have, closed down. Companies need to be able to offset true investment against revenue but many companies are just now playing taxation arbitrage across jurisdictions. What you need is somebody, like me, to sit down and say "that's OK" or "you're taking the **** that's not OK". I'll offer my services Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
