Focus on blog poster
This new series will focus on a blog poster. At first it was going to be GuessedWorker, but I realised that at least 50% of the time I agree with him. So instead it's going to be 'Verity' seen on various blogs you'll have seen.A brief search tonight finds these (I will edit for space and clarity with a ..., but I will link so you can check the quote for yourself),
"Here's where you'll get irritated again. Poor people are a burden. They drain resources. ... Unemployed people should be obliged to take any job in order to keep their lives ticking over, until they can find a job they really want. Instead, the taxpayer supports these people with "unemployment" cheques and allows hundreds of thousands of illegal workers to take the jobs that the unemployed British should rightfully be executing. ... Why are they so uppity that they think they can come from the Third World and only First World Britain is good enough for them?"
"I'm glad she's settled in and contributing to the economy, but the fact is, one more person is one more burden. That is the way it is. "
"Raj - if you moved back to India, you could afford full time servants, so let us not pretend it is any big deal and your wife gave up a situation of great wealth to bestow her presence on Britain. I lived in India briefly and I had a bearer, a dhobi wallah and a sweeper, although I was a very average earner."
"My response is: we do not need to let low skilled workers into Britain. We've got plenty of our own and they should be obliged to take boring, ill-paid jobs until they find a job to their liking, rather than expecting the taxpayer to support their dainty tastes."
All from here, with the one below from a few posts earlier
"I like Kris's optimism, but I give it 10. I agree that countries like Luxembourg will simply neglect to pay their dues and slip out of the membership. After all, it isn't an export (!!!!!) economy."
