Britain cutting 500k government jobs, cutting welfare by $11bil, and more

I love UK! Chavs, cameras everywhere, unemployed government workers begging on the streets, GUN BAN, obesity rate, cockney accent, bad teeth and people coming to your homes charging money for "TV license fee"

And that fat thing from "Britain got Talent".

sad thing is I can't argue with any of that.
 


Also, on top of the cuts are raises in taxes.

VAT going to 20% (currently 17.5%) and income tax on earnings over £150,000 to 50%.
 
Anyway chaps, the 500,000 job losses will only shrink the number of public service workers back to the level at 1997, which is when the Labour party came to power. So it's basically a cull of pointless jobs created by the previous socialists to ensure votes in the election. It almost worked too ...

The national health service is ring fenced.


:bowdown:
Holy words
 
At least we're doing something about it. Although we may be cutting back I'm sure there will be shitloads spent on things like foreign aid etc
 
I wonder why Britains did not protest against these cutting...it seems they are resigned, like almost Western people...it is so sad!
 
It's about time the welfare system in this country was sorted out.

No economy can (or should) support a welfare system that allows people to stay on benefits for their entire lives, or when they're better off working.

Only this morning on Radio 4 Today programme, was someone complaining that they'd rather stay on benefits because they're "only" £17 a week better off in work.

As far as I am concerned: if you're better of in work [even by £1] then you take the job and your benefits stop.

Because cutting is the only way after decades of political errors and corruption.
French are protesting for retirement at 62, it's pathetic. In the western countries life average is almost 80. I see so many people over 90 in good standing. It's impossible today working for 30 years and be paid after retirement for 40 years. I want to work and pay my retirement and not to pay retirement of people at 50.
 
Dam right it's sickening seeing people get paid to sit on there arses living a comfortable life style with no intention of even finding a job, or having kids for the same reason.
These people should be supported but only given the absolut minimum to survive, just enough for food and rent then maybe they would be pushed to get of their arses and do something.

That's right, I wonder how people at 62 would feel without having a job. They stand good, especially no working class people, so everyone should think in a logic way.

The people who should be out in the streets protesting on the ones that are being bled dry to support the lazy fucks sitting home watching tv while sitting on their fat asses and collecting a check.

Of course the reason they are not doing so may have a lot to do with the fact that they are actually working for a living instead of being blood sucking leeches.
 
How any Western country can spend money on foreign aid at this point is beyond me. Maybe it's time for Saudi Arabia and all the other oil nations enriched with their petro-dollars to start giving back while we pull ourselves back from the brink of insolvency.
 
The "aid" is a political gimmick.

The money goes to corruptors in poor countries further impoverishing the poor country. Then the poor people will have huge debt they never use or enjoy.

As the rich country? Well, the money often come with terms favorable to political donators. For example, US president once offered Sukarno that US will build all the road in Indonesia if Indonesia only import american car. That's effectively US government taxing you to pay GM. GM then pay politicians.

However, imagine if it's not so. Maybe Indonesia have fallen to communists. When there are too many commies, you would have lost cold war and become commies too. It's complicated.

Fuck the UK, it sucks, and it's getting worse every year, in every way.

We have too many scrounging cunts on benefits, and the number grows year on year. Get the doley scum doing some hours for the local council, they can sweep the fucking streets and fill in pot holes for all I care, but they shouldnt be given money for fucking nothing. People dont go to work because they are WORSE OFF than on benefits, and they think that having to earn their money is a bad thing when they can get it for free.

Also our transport system is fucking disgraceful, unless you live in London, which seems to be the only place in the UK that gets fed money to build things. Fuck the fucking olympics too, what a fucking waste of money. ARGGHGHHH get me out of here!

Cuts??? hahahahahahaha it'll go from shit to fucking anarchy
 
Bring those cuts on. Teach those scroungers on welfare, it'll probably cut them to 40 fags a day. Take that you lazy barstewards.
 
Teguh, your English is getting much better :xmas-smiley-016:
