All we can do literally, is keep our fingers crossed on conscription. I know the effect being called up for the 2nd world war had on my Dad and it was eye opening. The interesting thing is that he never talked about it until he was old, when he realised how much of his youth had been taken from him and how little peoples sacrifice actually mattered

People are soon to forget those that killed themselves when their benefits got stopped
The governments are scum

You can’t help forget about legal immigrants when every single day illegal immigrants evade this country

Nobody should want conscription.

Forcing young people against their will is not a thing that I personally will support.

Unless of course we were in a World War scenario.

You dont think kids in wheelchairs who cant feed themselves are the most vulnerable?

what bullshit am I being spoon fed, I am relaying what I have read that they are going to target the most vulnerable on benefits, not sure what your point is at all apart from have a contrary opinion

From experience
The lady I met at a pip interview/ interrogation for my daughter
She had no hand and they wanted in to see if things had changed

She said I s not like my fking hand as grew back

You are more than willing to to believe the most vulnerable won’t be targeted

What part of the following makes you think that, maybe read and absorb before you start making wild accusations, you constantly tell me what I am allegedly thinking and I am kinda sick of it

From what I can gather they are going to cut benefits to the cohort who cannot actively look for work, like kids who need to be tube fed and are paraplegic....

I then said...makes sense in a sarcastic way, its not like cutting their benefits is suddenly going to make them work ready....:facepalm:

Starmer dodged the question from Ed Davey when asked if Labour would not cut benefits to those who have limited work capability..

I agree sheriff, unfortunately my youngest can't and won't ever have a job, she's not "that sort of disabled", and while I don't think on assessment anyone would reasonably think she could work, but nonetheless there will DEFINITELY be extra red tape and more hoops to jump through which we could do without - especially as she finds any interaction from strangers distressing in the first place.

…and it’s also more difficult and more of a struggle to get a diagnosis for a child because an autism diagnosis for instance will lead to extra funding/support being provided for the child and parents/depending on their specific needs…and as you know through having personal experience, early diagnosis in a child without that struggle and delays etc is so, so important ….

I know two people on benefits.

One is aged 43 and gets just under £400 per MONTH on Universal Credit. He has to provide proof each month he is looking for work.

The other one is aged 28 and on some kind of disability benefits but goes running every day and I always see him laughing so I don't know what his disability is that stops him looking for work. I'm told by a friend of another friend he's on £375 PER WEEK and doesn't have to look for work.

Not sure why he needs more money than the other guy but nothing adds up.

Not all disabilities are visible. Not sure why him laughing is considered out of the ordinary.
It’s people’s entitlement to know everything about someone in situations like this.
Unless it concerns you, it’s best to keep it out of your business.

user104658 13-03-2025 10:13 AM

The thing is this is nothing really new for Labour - I've been a "jobseeker" precisely once in my life for around 5-6 months (leaving Uni in early 20's, jobless and with a kid on the way lol) but I was just-so-lucky-enough that the timeframe coincided with the pre-2009 Labour govt.'s "New Deal" scheme. It was absolutely fkn horrible. An absolute shambles. I was absolutely ecstatic to get out of there and into any work (which at the time was weekend cashier at the bookies - boy did I not expect that to eventually be 10 years of my life :joker: ). Anyway my point really - I think some would take this as "evidence" that these things "encourage" people to get into work, but I only did "New Deal" for 3-4 weeks before I got out, and I was already slipping badly into hopelessness/frustration/not a good mental state. I consider myself lucky that I only got a "glimpse" of that world. If I'd been there for months? I reckon each passing week would have made it less likely that I'd be suitable for work, not more.

arista 13-03-2025 10:23 AM

[An absolute shambles.]

Yes PM Starmer
knows that.

That's why he is changing all this.


£70Billion Welfare Bill
He just stated it's on the way.
