Increasing confidence for the unemployed

The people sitting on their arses doing fuck all each day, not even considering to look for a job, are the people who I most despise in this country.

It annoys me so much when people (many being the one's talked about in this article) complain about the amount of 'illegal' immigrants in this country claiming every benefit that the state has to offer, when they have no idea about actual figures and have got all of their 'facts' from the Sun or the Star.

unfortunately one thing a lot of people miss out on with these comments is the fact that when a refugee comes here and works for e.g
the toilets in the bigg market.
he gets £5.50ph
he is also council tax exempt
will usually live with several others from his country therefore cutting rental costs !
the law says they should be allowed internet access and mobile access to their home country ( free )
they recieve free medicine from hospitals and doctor surgeries !
they recieve free public transport passes !

now when you add this up it works out at over £6.50 per hour.
the reason most uk residents wont get off their arse as you say is that they can't afford to !!
they get £5.50ph and pay full c/tax and get NO benefits whatesoever...
so in comparison they will be working a 40hr week for less than £40 !!
they get £55 minimum from the dole for doing f/a !! you do the maths.
i also hate lazy people and layabouts but how can we expect people to go and work for nothing.
i think the long term unemployed and people willing to work for minimum wages should be c/tax exempt and also recieve other benefits.
after all half the arseholes in suit's and tie's do less work a day than the dolies sitting on their arses all day,but they get £50,000 a year for it

rofllolz - maybe they are creating the wealth that drives the economy?

you have quite possibly just made the most ridiculous comment in the entire history of www.nucastle.co.uk and that is really quite a serious accolade.

If he's working legally he gets the same minimum wage as British citizens, if he's working illegally he gets much less and if he's a refugee with an application pending (pre 6 months) he is not allowed to work.

If he's an employed refugee, he pays council tax.
If his application is pre-6 month pending he's not allowed to work so doesn't pay tax.... as he has no income.
If he's working illegally, he's doesn't pay taxes (because he's breaking the law... nothing to do with the government).

9 times out of 10 if a grown adult is sharing a house with other adults its because he can't afford to live by himself.

If he's an asylum seekers he lives in accomidation provided for him by the government and doesn't pay taxes as he doesn't earn.

No it doesn't...

Are you suggesting that while our unemployed get free healthcare, foreigners should pay?!?!

Surely it is our duty to look after those in need?

No they don't, vouchers can be used on buses but they are often refused.... there are even cases where parents have had to pay for the transportation of their children to school.

Someones been filling your head full of lies raverbaby... there are legitimate reasons to oppose immigration, but the ones you cited are lies & misunderstandings.

Someone should also explain to you the difference between an economic migrant and a refugee.

economic migrant... someone who comes to england to work (the NHS is full of them)
refugee... someone who is fleeing persecution from another land... he can be a british citizen or requesting citizenship.
asylum seeker... a refugee who is requesting citizenship.
illegal immigrant... an immigrant who lives & works here illegally (illegal immigrants take nothing from the system).

Hope that helps you understand things a little clearer

Re: Increasing confidence for the unemployed

Its a disgrace

My point being my two sisters sit on there arses complaining they have a wank life i tell them they could go to college one of them enrols and lasts 1 day saying it wasnt for her, then i say offer an hour a week to a voluntary organisation but yet again they complain. My point being theyve got so used to sponging off the state that they dont want to do anything but sit in there houses day in day out

Looks like the state could be toughening up due to the fact there interviewing people on benefits on a regular basis those who dont attend get there benefits cut If immigrants are willing to work then fair play maybe the lazy bastards who milk the welfare system should be deported including there kids

Yep this is true also a friend couldnt work at all during his stay in the UK not that he didnt want to work as he volunteered at the local college teaching djing etc he lived in a pokey flat 'far from pleasant' and had about £30-40 and fornight for food etc

Im just pissed at the amount of tax I pay

Work Tax, NI, council tax the list goes on...

FFs I work a month get paid for 3/4 weeks - and can barely afford to live in my own country!

Where's my benefit except an overcrowded NHS system

Just wanted to point out a programme that was on last night about Soldiers going AWOL and the lack of metal health support they are receiving when these lads (and lasses) are defending our National Security.

Funny how our government can welcome with open arms Immigrants when the NHS is in such a mess as is the Government/Council Housing scheme across the whole country.

Fair do's to anyone who is willing to work but everyone who wants to live in this country should abide by the same rules/taxes etc.

Makes me wonder why we dont take the same approach as the Dutch or the Australians on Immigration especially considering the current state of our country.

The NHS would be in a lot worse state than it is now if it wasnt for immigrants.

your quoting me out of context

read the post

and the state of the NHS is just the tip of the iceberg

plus where's your proof

especially considering how much it costs to study to be a doctor these days....is there any wonder?

You just quoted yourself.

Do you have schizophrenia per chance?

did i just say that or think it??

Hilarious.

Irrelevant

probably
