There are millions of people the country over who hold the same view,s you have posted. And find themselves in the same situation and have the same frustrations that you have, You are fed up with the every thing for nothing culture that a lot of these young kids have adopted playing on the play stations all day never doing a day,s work in there life and showing a total disregard for ordinary people like yourself having to live amongst them who are having a laugh at the system, Or are they !!!!!!!!!! I cant speke for Portsmouth but in the case of Liverpool were we to have 1,000,s of young kids do the same i say to you this,,,,,,,,, Not every young person is bleeding the system or taking the piss, A hell of a lot of them want and are genuinely seeking work i know by my own 3 lads who are all self employed working bloody hard trying to get by on there wage with baby,s to bring up my daughter has 3 under 14yrs her husband is a self employed taxi driver which can vary from month to month depending on what work they can secure month to month, I agree there are young people who dont give a toss if they never work in there lives, But when any general election over the last 40yrs has come around you will have the top polotician,s banging on about the nothing for nothing culture who are draining the system long term unemployed not interested in working for a living and that is the number one on there manifest, If they dont take up some employment part time or volentary there dole payments will be stopped and how they are going to set about this task and put money in the pockets of hard working people in this country and take away benefits of the cheats who shirk work. Well this current coalition who find themselves breaking up over a number of polocies and cant agree on a stratagey for growth which is the only way you will get people who want work back to work, Today,s growth forecast {ZERO} Down from the last figure of 0.8%. I begin to question there credential,s and skills at doing the job they are very well payed for. I havnt voted for any of the last Conservitive/Labour/Coalitian party,s in the last 40yrs Because a lot of what people like yourself are enduring is of there own making. The top rate of income tax was cut by 5% for the wealthy in this country to create stimulus in the economy its not been mentioned since because all that done was payed for another holiday for the country,s millionairs. Or gave them a £45,000 pay increase to put into lets say British gas shares nice little earner?. Over the last 2yrs we as a country have borrowed more than we ever have. The first thing the coalition done before moving into Downing st was raise V.A.T. 2 and a half % The bank of England has never been in such a quandry over interest rates. Fiscal economy printing pound notes is not the answer. A lot of these something for nothing people up and down the country are not as stupid as the coalition think its now became a game of cat and mouse. The coalition can talk the talk but cant walk he walk, The something for nothing culture dont only talk the talk they walk the walk and survive. And given record unemployment figures of under 25yr olds in Britain can you honestly blame them. We all have to eat when were hungry and drink when were dry, That,s a fundermentle right of any human being. There are plans to get rid of job center,s all over the country and replace them by call center,s which the unemployed will not have access to just a voice on the end of a telephone {BAD MOVE} If you think we have seen the end of riots in this country under this coalition you are living in cookoo land, The coalition are 25% into the cuts that are to be implimented and Cameron is determined to carry on regardless of his failing polocies. If i had to put a % on trouble ahead if they dont change track and get growth under way i would guess another 75% of trouble. With dont forget 20% less police on our streets 20% less regular army at the governments disposal. And at the current rate of knots unemployment and the sale of playstations for youngster,s coming out of education running at about 95% Next Monday evening channel 5 i think 9pm {check} A documentary on the fiddle. Watch it and then post your thought,s Regards Terry. :mad:
