Throughout our history

The story's been the same.

It's the rich that get the pleasure -

And the poor that get the blame !

 

Not from what I read constantly on this site and frankly coming out of every 'working man's' mouth. Haven't you heard? Apparently it's not the poor hard done by working man's fault for taking a loan that he can't manage, it's the lender's fault! See that's how society works now, we're not responsible for our own actions, it's every one else's fault. Makes perfect sense to me!

 

Why do the British hate freedom and responsibility so much?

 

I can see Labour having a landslide. It's straight out of their mantra.

 

My nephew was made redundant. He has two kids. His rent was astronomical but for some reckon technical reason he couldn't get any help from the state. I paid his rent for two months and lent him a grand. I'm no do-gooder but if I hadn't helped him out he would have been in the clutches of the loan sharks charging1250% apr. Eventually I wrote off his rent, but I insisted on him repaying the grand, gradually, with no interest... when he got back on his feet. If I hadn't helped he would have owed, on that one thousand pounds, the sum of £1250000. That would have knackered him for life.

Yet these loan companies are considered a normal part of British life! The owners and directors of these companies wander round in business suits yet they are bigger thugs than your average back street lender. No doubt they receive knighthoods and other gongs from their mates in high places for their contribution to british industry. They should be in jail.

There's no doubt in my mind that working class life has become a lot harder over the years. The biggest con is that it now takes two wages to run a home. They've even brainwashed women into thinking they'd get bored at home and need to be out in the workplace for intellectual fulfilment or some such bullshit. That one change in british life causes no end of stress and guilt on both partners. A woman should at least be allowed to get her kids into school before she's forced out into the workplace, especially now she's got to work until she's 68 before she gets a pension.

One wage should be enough to run a household. As it is man and wife are working crazy hours for absolute washers just to pay bills.

Bring back the days when a man could support his family on his wage and feel like a man with his tea on the table when he finished work. Everybody has been taught to bleat 'that's sexist'. No it's not, it's common sense and a much better way to live.

Good thread this Nik B.Funny how left and right share the same beliefs on an issue like this.

 

I stayed at home when my kids where little, my first part time job was when the youngest started reception class & I got the lollypop lady job at the same school which was perfect for me as i didn't have to worry about farming the youngest out on my mom or a nursery place.

 

I agree with your point about new moms not being allowed to be moms before they have got to find a job if there is a need for a second income, I always felt as a young mom I was looked down on by the other moms who worked full time because I didnt have any qualifications or a career

 

I say '' f**k you '' I am a nurse, cleaner, accountant, cook, referee, skills I acquired by being a full time mom
