But what we should be doing is telling kids they're not failures if they look for trades as careers and figure a way to put them 'on rails' towards that career so they don't go into silly things.

Honestly? If you'd told me tech was a clusterfuck and I could earn more money with a lathe? Fuck this office crap, give me a hands on job.

People would be shocked if they knew the money labourers could earn too.

You need to stop using yourself as an example because you're still the minority and governments love to use you an example for why we don't need to do more.

No. I'm not saying we don't need to "do more" - but do more doesn't mean "give free money to adults".

My example is valid. Sorry it's awkward for you though. Poverty isn't the problem and benefits aren't the answer.

Take that 3bn a year and do something useful with it. But don't give even more money to people who've proven they can't manage themselves properly.

You know what @Gwadien - I'd rather they took that cash and made healthy and mandatory free school meals for every single pupil every day.

That benefits the parents too - as they don't have to take time and expense to prepare meals.

And it's fucking way better than giving money away.

I'm sure there's loads of other things the state could do that's technically more effective. That targets money more. But lifting the two-child benefit cap was the wrong thing to do.

At least 8,000 illegal waste sites in UK, research suggests

Exclusive: Concerns over impact on health and environment, as well as £1.63bn in avoided landfill tax

The cost of clearing up far outweighs the money we’re receiving from landfill tax and we’re missing all these unknown sites.

Fuck off Lammy (and Leveson)...

David Lammy expected to water down plans to scrap most jury trials

Justice secretary suggests he will stick to Leveson’s recommended three-year sentence threshold, after ‘cabinet feedback’

www.theguardian.com

Standard operation for politicians, announce something utterly horrific and then (as per plan) pull back to a merely disgustingly atrocious proposal and people are more likely to feel better about it.

We've a problem we're strughling to solve so we need to rape your mum.

What??!

Ah, actually. We've changed our minds. We can get away with just tying her to a chair and punching her face.

Oh. Knock yourself out then.

Yeh I saw this last night on the news I think and was like WTF? So much for the right to trial by jury, instead some fucked off Judge who didn't get a shag the night before can do what they want.

Tell you what go employ more people to reduce the backlog. I can see them burning the Magna Carta on Jan 1st 2026.
