hairy Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 White Dee isn't a liar? She said "You're behaving like those Romanians" then claimed no one knew they were living there! Just have a google, they are very creative let's say. (and btw I think there is nothing wrong with that, just the hypocrisy has to be pointed out) Thats what you pay accountants for is it not? Beside they made an operating loss and propped up the balance sheet in selling an asset. It would be more interesting to see how much tax they have paid in recent years
Guest MattP Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Thats what you pay accountants for is it not? Beside they made an operating loss and propped up the balance sheet in selling an asset. It would be more interesting to see how much tax they have paid in recent years Absolutely, as I have said I have no problem with paying a good accountant to pay as little tax as possible. When the papers brings out it communists, sorry columnists like Toynbee, Jones etc to rant at Amazon and Starbucks etc for doing the same thing though it stinks of hypocrisy. Though it shouldn't surprise anyone given how they also seem to rant at private schools despite half them time attending them themselves.
MooseBreath Posted 4 February 2014 Author Posted 4 February 2014 What do people who complain about the job centre think they should do better? I don't know much about it but they seem to advertise quite a lot of jobs as well as offering training courses and guidance on CV writing etc. There's surely only a certain amount of responsibility the job centre can take away from individuals. They can't walk everyone through the entire process. One thing I've noticed is that while private employers aren't obliged to advertise through the job centre, the pool of jobs available through them is a lot smaller than it could be. Maybe some central approach to job vacancies which means they all go through the job centre might help. But that would be a big undertaking and doubtless cost a fortune to implement through the public sector.
danny. Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Can't afford sky mate I work for a living. If you work you can't afford Sky TV? WTF?
hairy Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 If you work you can't afford Sky TV? WTF? He maybe suggesting that those on benefits can afford sky.
danny. Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 He maybe suggesting that those on benefits can afford sky. Really? Just came across like a twattish comment to me
Alf Bentley Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 When the papers brings out it communists, sorry columnists like Toynbee, Jones etc to rant at Amazon and Starbucks etc for doing the same thing though it stinks of hypocrisy. Though it shouldn't surprise anyone given how they also seem to rant at private schools despite half them time attending them themselves. A couple of months back, Private Eye listed prominent Guardian writers/editors who attended private schools - and it was most of them! Here's a link: http://liberalengland.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/the-educational-background-of-guardian.html People don't choose where they go to school at 11 - but The Guardian clearly chooses to mainly employ writers with a private school education, which is a disgrace. I'm sure the same applies at the Times, Telegraph etc, not to mention the professions, Westminster etc. It was mainly John Harris who slagged off private schools recently, though, and he went to a state school. You ought to consider subscribing to Private Eye, Matt. You get a much better understanding of how the country operates than by reading either the Guardian or the Telegraph - as well as a lot of laughs, even if it's enough to make you seriously cynical about humanity. All for less than £30 per year (£1 per issue): http://www.private-eye.co.uk/

Captain... Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Really? Just came across like a twattish comment to me It was a cynical dig at the considered truth that everyone on benefits spends their money my tax money on fags and booze and have massive TVs and Sky dishes outside their houses. I don't actually have Sky, but that is because I don't think it is good value.

purpleronnie Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Either Katie Hopkins is basing a career on acting like an uneducated paranoid deluded cow or she is one.
Mike Oxlong Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 White Dee or Anne Widdecombe? Probably Anne because I think White Dee's had fungi in her snatch.
Webbo Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Really? Just came across like a twattish comment to me Bit OTT?
Stadt Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 White Dee or Anne Widdecombe? Probably Anne because I think White Dee's had fungi in her snatch. Fungi or fungi?
Captain... Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Who says that then? People: Dolescum Adj. Derogatory Term:Someone who claims DSS benefits whilst sitting on their asses all day, and watching bad daytime TV, hooked up to the satelite dish that they got to keep their 9 kids quiet... And living off a diet of Kebab (see Yakult) Super-Lager and Trisha on channel 5. You don't get more accurate than the Urban Dictionary. Another one: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20131025131532AAD6vce May not be the most widespread of stereotypes of the dole scum, but it certainly is one I've seen and read many times.
Rincewind Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 I think that probably right but can you imagine how demoralising it must be working there, dealing with these people everyday? Abuse, threats and excuses it's enough to make anyone cynical and indifferent. Not fair on the genuine job seekers though who really do want help finding a job. Can you imagine how demoralising to be called scum and a shirker every time you sign on. Plus people telling you how to live your life and looking at you as if you were shit then calling you a liar.

And? White Dee has satellite tv despite not working, most people would probably consider that unfair. Should these things be ignored? It's clearly happening.
Dr The Singh Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 And? White Dee has satellite tv despite not working, most people would probably consider that unfair. Should these things be ignored? It's clearly happening. MattP, did seeing her on the show arouse any feelings????
MooseBreath Posted 4 February 2014 Author Posted 4 February 2014 Plus she and her daughter have a laptop with the internet and a smartphone each
Guest MattP Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 MattP, did seeing her on the show arouse any feelings???? Many. I want to meet the guy who shagged her, see what mental scars he has from it.
Guest MattP Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Plus she and her daughter have a laptop with the internet and a smartphone each Bipolar clearly pays well these days.
Dr The Singh Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Many. I want to meet the guy who shagged her, see what mental scars he has from it. Any chance, me, you and Rincewind (+ his poetry book) fulfil my dream!! We can do it while watching sky tv, if that makes you feel better??? The guys who shagged her should by Knighted!!
Rincewind Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 I was turning the tables. The JC is a depressing place. I wanted to get out asap. The staff have targets to meet with sanctioning and quite a few of them dread going in to work and say they have to leave empathy behind. They want to help but are just puppets in the system.
