[Closed] Britains Hidden Housing Crisis

Good to read sbobs mature,constructive and intelligent reaction to the points raised.Music to my ears.

What points?
We've had someone who's precious baby didn't get a job straight out of Uni, and I suggested why.
Someone with little to no experience of something thinking they know more than those with that experience.
Someone who hasn't got a job and would rather procrastinate on a forum than look for one.
You, who I believe have no job and blame everything on a politician from over two decades ago.

And Junkyard. 😆

If you have a car accident let's see pictures of that private ambulance picking you up.NOT.

sbob-- your world appears very stark and unforgiving--did you suffer trauma in an earlier life ?

What is your point?

Are you gloating because I pay NI and for private medical care when you pay sweet Fanny Adams?

That is right, isn't it?
That you contribute nothing to society and still have the gall to moan about an administration from over fifteen years ago?

Tell me where I'm wrong.

i love all these right wing ideologues churning out their guff, if you could get them all in the same place you could drive a turbine with all that gas..

leonardo da vinci-- iirc-- said that some peoples only positive contribution to society was their 'night soil'==since we now flush it down the bog, what is it that you do sbob ?

My world?
It's quite nice thanks.
Got food, clothing, shelter, good friends, a loving woman, and in a couple of weeks I'll be going on holiday for the first time in years. 🙂

Now off you scoot; those jobs won't find themselves, will they!
Chop chop! 😀

my life is a holiday, don't need to do much, a little admin every couple of weeks , and kick back, and relax...

Junkyard - Member

Thats you that is 😉

Yeah, and I lied about the private health care. 😆

Yeah, and I lied about the private health care.

I might do 80 hours, I might do 8.
I don't see what the Germans, who work less, earn less, and have a lower disposable income have to do with anything... 🙂

I've reappraised my opinion. You're not David Ike or Paul Dacre, but a resurrected crap Harry Enfield Character, brought back from the Thatcher era to haunt us. LOADSAMONEEEEEEEY!!!!!!!

I've already stated that I earn less than the national average wage, are you ever going to make a point?

I've made plenty. You just seem to be struggling to address them, in between the 'aren't I bloody great, me?' Self-reverential eulogies

So many trolls, so little time!

I've made plenty.

Let's see...
Sarcasm
Sarcasm
Sarcasm/BS
Sarcasm/Incorrect assumption
Sarcasm
Sarcasm
Failed attempt to belittle my experience
Continuation of failure/sarcasm
Continuation of failure
Still digging the same hole of failure
Possible attempt at wit?
Admission of ignorance
Sarcasm
Finally some sense! Albeit misdirected and unnecessary.
More ad hominem

Hmmm...

You just seem to be struggling to address them, in between the 'aren't I bloody great, me?' Self-reverential eulogies

All I've done is use my experience to counter other people's opinion.
I'm sorry if that comes across as self-reverential, but maybe that self respect is what got me into a job. 💡

you still bangin that old drum sbob-- you know the old saying about empty vessels ...

S for Sponge?

done a bit of buskin earlier for an hour, people seem to be in generous mood tonight- was going to get some cheap drink but can now afford a bottle of mount gay rum and six bottles of budvar !!

You seem to have a real issue with sarcasm. And sorry if I've overdone it. I'm struggling with the other stuff levelled at me. I suppose I struggle with right wing perception. Have you seen Fox News! 😉

binners - Member

Have you seen Fox News!

I don't own a television. 😀

You deserve to earn below the average wage because you have below average intelligence.

Get yourself on the rock'n'roll fella! They've all got massive ones!!! With a full Sky package!!! 😆

This thread's a train wreck isn't it. Time for science!

There are x people in the country
There are x-y jobs in the country
Unemployment is y.
If y>number of unemployable people, then anyone calling unemployed people lazy purely because they are unemployed, = a div.

working long hours for low wages can make you very twisted and bitter, binners is right , you need to step back, ave a year out and look at the wood through the trees ....cycle when you want, get up when you like, go out when you like, stay up all night if you like, whats not to like ?

sorry, i forgot you have to get up very early tommorrow , the 8 hour day was fought to get people a life worth living, and you just want to work 20 hours a day......tis sad...

Ad hominem strikes again! (Google it)

Got a job yet?
What's your excuse?
Is it Thatcher?

I imagine you're having great fun under the impression that you're winding me up.
Except you're not.
My original point was that people can do more to help themselves, so not only have you been massively wrong, you've also unwittingly proved me right.
I actually have to get out of bed around noon tomorrow, after which I will spend my time making some disadvantaged people very happy, for which I get enormous satisfaction (don't make that dirty).
In less than three weeks time I will be on another continent, enjoying the sun, sea and sand of a beautiful country, with my beautiful partner.
If we like it, we're going to move there, and will be able to afford a lifestyle the likes of which fuels the jealousy of people like monkey.

So I've really got nothing to be bitter about. 🙂

And Northwind nails it. The only addition is most people making up the unemployment stats are back in work within 6 to 12 months, it's the hardcore 904,000 that are the real problem, those that are unemployable due to ability or attitude (or at least people that employers would rather leave a position unfilled than employ). The trouble is those that eventually get back into work in less than 12 months often get little real support unlike those that are long term unemployed that get a lot more support with pretty poor results. I don't know what the solution to these people is but paying their living costs indefinitely on the back of everyone else doesn't seem right or likely to be a long term option.

sbob-- you may well be happy, some of the happiest people i know are also the simplest, but your attitudes give away your petty concerns at others lives. I travelled far and wide in my earlier years, part of my job at the time, and whilst sunshine and beaches are great to visit, i will always want to be with the people i love and respect, and that happens to be where i live now.
The trick is to make the place good for all,not just a few !
