What has the UK become under the far right influence?

The murdered elderly, defenceless guy walking his dog in a place where he'd lived for decades was Pakistani or Indian, I believe, and killed by a white teenage thug, accompanied by his teenage moll.
They both got life sentences.

Still, let's not allow minor truths get in the way of misleading fiction, hey!?

Let the far right get back to doing what they do best - worship the flag of St. George - a Palestinian or Turk, depending on which historical map you look at. Then they can say a Christian prayer, seeking forgiveness from their favourite Palestinian, Jesus Christ.

(Edit: Only just heard about the attack on the white guy walking his dog in London in the news today. Horrific and terrible.
The culprits I referred to were jailed a couple of weeks ago - murder in Leicestershire.)

Its become a place where we are held to ransom by big business. People on £40- £60k will moan about this ( as will others) but they are paying taxes to subsidise pay for lower paid workers to actually be able to survive. About 40% of the benefits bill to the UK goes to people who are in work. Bear in mind the easiest one to point to is Tesco. £30bn profits last year - CEO paid just under £1bn ( through ROI so he can avoid UK tax ) yet peeople will still come here to criticise this post saying the minimum wage is too high whilst Ken Murphy holds a gun to their heads and says " keep subsidising the people I underpay so I can get a billion a year or your food bills go up. Some people have been captured by a warped narrative.

It's not just the employers that are taking advantage of this situation, its the employees as well.

We have a huge problem of under-employment in the UK with masses of working age people CHOOSING to work minimal part time hours in order to receive optimum "in work" benefits, even when permanent full-time hours are available to them.

I saw it first hand in my previous workplace, even though the pay was around 20% higher than National Minimum Wage there were still numerous staff members insistent on only working part-time even though permanent full-time contracts plus guaranteed overtime was available to them... all because they were better off working around 16 hours per week and receiving "top up" benefits than they would be working 40-50 hours per week.

The Left just don't get it do they... the ONLY reason we have mass immigration in to the UK is because its so profitable for the exploitative corporations and parasitic rentier class establishment aka the billionaires.

Yet those billionaires have brainwashed the liberal left into virtue signalling their support for that mass immigration that enriches them so much.

I can't think of a more perfect example of Useful Idiocy... supporting and enabling the very entities they claim to despise.

Have you seen the price of childcare?
It's a hard trap to get out of if you have kids

Think you've answered your own question there,
Why would anyone work 40-50 hours when working 16 hours gets you more money

Well given the number of people gaming the system by CHOOSING to work minimal part-time hours in order to receive optimum "in work" benefits... there must be a hell of a lot kids out there who were unplanned accidents.

Yes I suppose there is the argument of hate the game not the player.

But either way it proves how insanely generous the benefits system is for those who are prepared to fully take advantage of it.

I think 'Gaming the system' is a fairer description of the employers not paying a fair wage for reasonable hours and knowing the tax payer will make up the short fall. Employees opting to work childcare friendly hours and not rack up thousands in debt to childcare bills are hardly living it up.

These are the kids who will be paying taxes that will fund your care when you’re no longer able to wipe your own arse.
