Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 19, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 19, 2015 See I don't know Louch's credentials and evidence, but SpursRiot supporting him anecdotally adds some weight to the argument. He has been a feckless drain on society for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted February 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2015  If we can't get hundreds of thousands of people to go out and take a job, and instead live their life on benefits, then they any going anywhere to take a bullet. I'm not talking the genuinely unemployed, or those with disabilities, but we have a lot more feckless people than a century ago. Despite the fact that unemployment is at its lowest since records began back in 1972? I don't think we keep official records for "number of feckless people", but feel free to enlighten us all with some statistics.  There must be millions more feckless people now. Everyone on reality TV for a start! And semi-pro footballers with undercut haircuts and 99p store WAGs second! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted February 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm not supporting him - the opposite. I'm saying, it used to be an easy life. But now it's a pain in the arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 From what I can remember it started getting harder being on the dole around the time Gordon Brown was in No. 10. Thankfully I was back in work after about 8 months because I wouldn't wish being unemployed on anyone in today's climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted February 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 I would immediately go off to die in a war if and only if someone I loved was in direct danger, i.e. someone I'm willing to die for, because for sure, I'd die. Â Otherwise, fuck no. I'd die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted February 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'd hide until someone was in a complete winning position, then join them, in a non fighting role. Not that I'm a pacifist, just a gobshite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanny Pack Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Id like to think i would, purely due to the fact both my grandads were WWII vets so it would make them (i dont know if this is the right word) proud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longest ever was a year. Feckless is correct, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted February 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 Apart from my initial visit to fill in my claim, I signed in ONCE before I thought "fuck this" and sorted my shit out and actually backdoored my way into a job at my mate's company. Having to go through that was for more effective at getting me off my arse than having no cash. The worst part being feeling my flesh crawling from some of the "people" I had to sit near, waiting for my name to be called. Which I resented, because I half expected someone to overhear my name and immediately try and steal my identity. Aha, joke's on you! I don't have any money to steal!

Ghostface1982 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Id be more inclined to go to war if we were still fighting with swords and shields. Fuck that getting shot nonsense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted February 23, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 From what I can remember it started getting harder being on the dole around the time Gordon Brown was in No. 10. Â Yeah, I was only unemployed for a few weeks of Brown's PM stint and it was already starting to get to where Duncan-Smith was taking it to now. Obviously not as extreme though. Tony Blair's system was absolutely mental. Must have pissed away some amount of money, especially Incapacity Benefit (for the under 25s) under Blair. You really couldn't go back to that carry-on. Most people that were on IB actually wanted to do something and got absolutely no help whatsover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
