Why don't they just increase the minimum age to get job seekers allowance to age 18 or something. Harsh perhaps .

18 is the minimum age. It used to be 16 (I believe) but now the argument is that you get paid to go to 6th form if you are poor so there is no excuse to sit on your *rse. Remember that a lot of these 6th form courses are vocational where people learn real practical skills which hopefully lead to employment without going to Uni.

And we would be making things. And selling them abroad. And have an economy. Does anyone remember when we used to do that?

We've got nothing to do with what Johny Foreigner does in Europe. Traditionally (some of us) haven't minded high(ish) taxes as the state has provided for our needs (Health, Education, Unemployment) It's like insurance without the thieving middle man and big corporations. It could be worse we could live in Australia where they apparently get sod all back. |
