Social security payments are calculated to provide basic and essential needs. Low wages not so.

Unions are doing what they are meant to do, getting better pay and conditions for their members. There’s growing hope that the UK might at last get rid of the low wage economy.

You are comparing apples and oranges. The UK Government Data I have linked is based on adults of working age (16-64), as I clearly stated in my post. The EU data you have linked defines economically inactive as anyone outside the workforce, including infants, children, pensioners etc. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Glossary:People_outside_the_labour_force Comparing ‘unemployed data’ is a little more problematic as each nation and indeed different governments within each nation defines unemployment differently. By example, the UK data I have linked is based on adults between the ages 16-64 whereas the EU data you have linked is based on individuals between the ages 15-74. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Glossary:Unemployment

The UK currently has over ten million adults (age 16-64) who are either unemployed (1.26 million) or economically inactive (8.9 million). And it’s getting worse. https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/bulletins/employmentintheuk/november2022 https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peoplenotinwork

And all the economic data.

I’ll let you know once I’m there.

Oddly you missed out the UK’s own extremists. I wonder why?

Once again, I observe the product of a surfeit of black and white war movies. The dominance battle being fought right now is economic, the fight is between three massive economies, the U.S., China and the EU. Luckily the UK has cornered the Turnip market.

If you read my post I was responding to MicMac’s comment that others ‘haven’t even been to the UK post Brexit’. I’ve been, and I’m about to go again. I’ll have a keen eye looking out for ‘Sunlit Uplands’

I’ve been, I had real close look and I’ll be going back for another close look in mid January. I look forward to sharing my experiences of Post Brexit Britain in the middle of winter. More precisely, I’ll be getting a close up look at the Post Brexit NHS in the middle of winter, I’ll definitely report on what I see there.

Hogwash. 1. I doubt there is a British member of this forum who is not personally impacted by Brexit. 2. It would be ridiculous to claim the families of British members of this forum are not impacted by Brexit. My guess is anti-Brexit members of this forum are presenting arguments you can’t deal with so your response is to try and undermine their right to comment. You’re on the run laddie!

I don’t think you’ve thought that out.

I’m sure if I can wait patiently, you can too. Justice is coming. Jack be nimble, Jack be quick… https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-15/trump-special-counsel-subpoena-shows-new-grand-jury-seated-until-march?leadSource=uverify wall

Trump should have picked a shack in a different State. The NYAG will no doubt be delighted at his failure to do so.

More hyperbolic alarmist nonsense from anti-vaxxer James Roguski.

Alternatively they could go back to their ancestral home in Glasgow.

The UK Government has lost control of the UK’s borders: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-63730054

You’re amazing. Well done you.

For all its faults the legal system is founded on a vary sound principle. If you make an accusation, you need to be able to back it up with credible evidence. What the cat’s mother ‘could have’ just doesn’t cut it.

Whoever decided on a £90K settlement disagrees with you.

It seems it was clear to the tribunal who dealt with her appeal.

Isn’t that a ‘maybe’?

Some are even embarrassed by the arguments they make in posts on anonymous forums, or at least they ought to be.

“But look what they are doing with their children: giving them puberty blocking medications as an LBGTQ lifestyle choice.” Who is doing this? Do you have evidence that it’s gay couples doing this? Do you have evidence of how many people are doing this? Do you realize there are gay parents raising children all over the nation, many in heterosexual marriages?

She was asked to stand up and turn around. Do you have eyes in the back of your head? What followed the incident was a string of failings by her employer’s HR department. That X-rated things happened in the past is no excuse for abuse to continue. Hat’s off to the woman in this incident for challenging abuse and management failures.
