Can you do an apprenticeship in drug dealing

Yeah - you start at the bottom as a County Lines runner then get taught how to grow hydropnically, then you move on to trip wiring the 'leccy meter to get free light and power. The final module allows you to learn how to cut, weigh and bag deals of class A.

I understand the graduation party is mental

I agree but when you do work hard and make some money it's a bitter pill to swallow when you pay a karge percentage of it in tax to fund those that won't work. And before anyone gets on their high horse yes there are those that can't work and deserve help but there is a lot that are just bone idle.

It’s an even bitter pill when fiscal drag has made it a damn sight worse for millions of lower paid workers
 
I submit that out of total government spending, the amount paid to those who 'won't work' is trivial. You must also consider that many in that category are unemployable, and would cost an absolute fortune in things like drug rehabilitation and education to make them suitable for even the lowliest work.

To live in a civilised society is costly, but the alternative is far worse. Taxes are very low in Somalia, for example, but the lifestyle is pretty shit.

BTW, I would be very happy to cut spending on some stuff, but the things I would cut would have the right up in arms.

JSA was around 1% of the welfare budget before it migrated into UC.

Taxes are paying mostly for pensions and in work tax credits.

The subsidy of wages is the real travesty, not the few that don’t contribute.

Cut the tax fiddles for the richest for a start......Cut wasted Govt contracts....loads of cuts to consider.

The last thing to cut is benefits for the poorest and most vulnerable which are purely for dicks who read the Mail.

Oh come on, don't be so disingenuous.

They were a Lib Dem policy, and the article is literally about George Osborne taking credit for them.

Your comment did exactly the same.

I said they were implemented by George Osborne because I wanted to provide some context as to when the largest increases in the personal allowance were implemented. There’s nothing disingenuous about what I stated.

Well, I'm sure next time, you'll be using the words Lib Dems, Coalition, or Nick CLegg instead. Just to provide the correct context ;)
