RE: STRIKE! Ah, you must be one of those cowards that rolls over and asks for its tummy to be rubbed when its masters tell them their pay has been cut. Good boy.
RE: "Misfortune"? I can understand that you would consider it a misfortune to get the boot from a job where you happily took a public salary and spent all day on the internet writing essays on everyone else's lack of integrity but surely even you can detect a soupcon of hypocrisy there.
RE: "Misfortune"? I did my job and did it very well and was proud to be involved in something that's going to stop folks homes from flooding. Yes im being slightly hypocritical - I wont pretend I didn't use the internet at work but then so do most people on this board and most people in the country - so im in good company. Still, I certainly get a good laugh out of you lecturing me on morality.
lets all get one thing straight here.... this country has the biggest "scrounging" set of ******* in the world. We let people come here and sponge of everyone else. We also get hundreds and thousands claiming "incapacity" amongst all other things. Whilst I am not saying this is wrong, are you telling me that someone who is claiming "benefits" can't do one fecking job at all... ever, because they are incapable due to illnesses. what a load od B*ll*cks. There are thousands out their sponging who are capable of doind work, but the thing is, they get the same on benefits, so there is no incentive to work. Do me a favour, get on the backs of the scrounging twits.. Then maybe, just maybe, the country wouldn't be in the mess its in and the government wouldn't have to extract money from other sources.
She wouldn't need all that therapy and counselling, if she just took herself to one side and pulled herself together. I'm a prolific at work poster admittedly. And am also employed by Hampshire County Coucil, so make sense of that as you see fit
RE: lets all get one thing straight here.... Those who 'come here' tend to work, they come from a culture where you work or starve, they take ont he low paid, crap jobs that no one else wants to do. They also do the work that not enough of 'us' are trained to do, especially in the NHS. There are far more scroungers and wasters that were born here, people who think they have a right to live off our work, people who are laughing at us. Give me someone who wants to work, no matter what their nationality to someone who wants be a parasite. And if it wasn't for the immigrants, this country would have a lowering population, not just one that is slowing down.
ok I have no problem with anyone who wants to work... I do have a problem with scroungers.... get my point? not everyone who comes here wants to work, many of them only know one word, and thats the reference number for the benefits form. Read all of my post, I made 2 points. One above, and the other was the scrounging set of Barstewards who claim incapacity for example. (again, some have legitimate claims) but some claim this benefit, when their are loads of jobs they CAN do
RE: She wouldn't need all that therapy and you think it's as easy as that!?</p> I'm surprised you're not a doctor then... you'd really be able to keep those patient PI's at a low.</p>
RE: ok I was told yesterday that over seven million people are claiming benefit of one kind or another.
RE: ok You make too many sweeping generalisations. Its not that simple - we force immigrants into the benefit system because we do not allow them wo work whislt they are claiming assylum or citizenship. Yes, many do not speak the language, how many do you speak. Most learn the language, and get on with their life, many end up being job providers. Cannot argue about those who claim incapacity whilst being fit and healthy, who the hell would, its fraud.
RE: ok Most people do in one form or another - I claim some child benefit, my mum used to claim attendance allowance for looking after an elderly relative, I have in the past claimed income support. However, we should stop thinking of it as a 'benefit' system and think of it as a system for helping those who need it to support them when in need.
If you had the slightest idea of the meaning of morality...... You'd realise that your constant sneering at animal suffering only highlights the fact that your heart only bleeds for trendy causes. Who's paying you to pose now by the way?
RE: ok I pay into the LGPS and i've been on strike today. Its not about wanting to be treated differently from everyone else its about breach of contract. When i first started paying into the scheme it was on the understanding that I would be able to draw my pension at 60 if I chose to. That is my established terms and conditions. I have chosen to work in the public sector despite the fact that I could earn more elsewhere and that is because I see my job as being a vocation. As far as being lazy, in the organisation I work for we have funding linked targets we have to achieve and many staff are working well above agreed targets and workload arangements. and as for sickness- one day in six years. Striking is the last option. My union has been on strike today and this is the first time we have been on strike on a national level for 26 years. We are not asking for special treatment we are asking that our established terms and conditions are honoured. Is there some irony that the FSA have stated today that 70% of 20- 40 year olds have no pension provision. Surely the Govt and the tory controlled LGA ( who created this mess in the first place) should recognise that people who have pd into the LGPS have been prudent like we were told to all those years ago.
RE: ok Heartily agree. Just because you have decent pension provision and are trying to protect it is no excuse for others to gripe that they haven't.
