It wasn’t a particularly well designed programme. They got a fairly basic amount but were still able to apply for other benefits to top that up. It was not a full living amount.
It is more a method of dealing with it I think. We probably don't need everyone to work 40 hours a week but people are forced to by poverty while others can't get work.
Definitely. But we've got a Cabinet Minister shooting it down for made up reasons so not much chance if a debate about the facts.
I don't subscribe to communism. Define 'capitalist success' and then we can look at comparables with socialism. I'm sure everyone wll appreciate another politics thread
Cant remember the article you shared although i remember disagreeing with the headline. Saying that though i do think the Labour mini ubi (what Scotland is going) is totally unviable if you are still going to need housing benefit, tax credits etc. Its effectively just another benefit created
Chinese v Indian growth is an interesting one. I suspect that China under communism has had more growth than any other country. Not that growth should be the only factor.
There was a little blip a few years ago where millions starved to death ,but China is doing quite well now since they emulated the Wests financial model .
70% Tax? Nobody would bother staying in the country It's looking more and more like a socialism idea. Tax the successful, hard working workers and make them pay for the lazy unsuccessful bastards. It's pure bullshit.
Some people won’t be happy until everybody is in the gutter mate. The entire concept of natural selection is responsible for billions of years of evolution and then all of a sudden, in a flash, some people think it’s not fair.
If Labour get in with Jezza lots of very wealthy people will leave . Switzerland is quite nice I'm hearing
