Poverty in UK

[PinkFinal]

Society doesn't care about the weak
They whine endlessly about "scroungers"
And use them as scapegoats for every last problem

So perhaps they'd like us all to disappear.
Then they can have everything to themselves as they apparently desire.
I'm not joking or fishing for sympathy I'm 100% serious

They do nothing AT ALL to make life tolerable for the 'less fortunate'.
They make no secret of their contempt for us.

The biggest change should be the stopping of punching down. Anyone can find themselves there at any point.

Last weekend i was down on the lyn peninsular, staying in a village known as Cheshire by the Sea on a prestige holiday park where beach front chalets sell, and sell quick for £1.1m. I might add that i got a freebie off a customer in return for doing some maintenance whilst there.

I saw numerous situations, but one in particular, that does make me question the system.
I saw a chalet that i know to have cost £500k. The owner had a £250k speed boat, 2 jet skis (£30k a piece) and a mazeratti parked up, plus a little jeep for towing the boat and jet skis which cost £20k+.
Thats over a millions quids worth of kit/toys just parked up. Mentioned it to my customer and he said “yeah they are just there for when he comes down about 6 times a year. Half the site is like that”.

Now im pretty down the middle like most, im not a socialist, im just a working class grafter, but when i see a situation like that it does make me question that it cant be right.
If this guy has over a million pounds worth of ‘stuff’ just there for him 6 times a year , what else has he got? Whats his house like? A holiday home abroad?
How much brass has he got? Does he need it all?

Jealousy is not a good trait, roles reversed what would you do .

Terms like 'they' and 'us' make it hard to understand the point you're making..
Society (people?) Don't care about about the weak? I don't believe that, there's love in the world, it's not all 'contempt' as you say
We're all striving aren't we? Sick, young, old, whatever

The problem here is that you’ve no idea how they made their money. Regardless of their background, it often just takes an idea and lots of hard work. They’re free to spend their money however they wish.

You’re also a Blue. Our Sheikh isn’t short of money. Think of what he’s spent when we all read stories of those priced out.

That’s not jealousy. It’s just fucking scandalous that people at the very top like that are able to keep buying all the assets in this country whilst people with decent jobs can’t afford to buy a house.

We’re not talking about footballers wealth here(who pay huge taxes). There are people on another level to them who without actually working now are making an absolute fortune off all the property and assets they own. It’s disgraceful they aren’t being taxed more heavily. What hope is there though when the Prime Minister has over £700m

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Why ?

I just think life is a fate worse than death for some people.
Without wishing to sound like a 7 year old no one asks to be dragged into this nightmare. And yes it is a nightmare for many.

Life is what you make it.

It’s not about an individual it’s about the system that is fucked.

20 million acres of England is owned by the filthy rich entitled aristocracy. People like the Duke of Westminster, who sails around Australia in his beautiful massive yacht during the UK winter.
Inherited titles land and wealth.

And most of that land was originally stolen.
The perimeter of the land owned by the Duke of Buccleugh is 3,000 miles long. He owns about a third of Scotland.

Strangely those on this site who can’t stand the thought of someone being rich, seem to be very selective. They never seem to stretch that criticism to our multi millionaire players or owners whatever they spend their money on.
