I listened to a young girl on the radio today bemoaning that she couldn't find a job. A caller rang in with several, which were all pooh-poohed because if she took them, they'd be minimum wage. <br /><br />And if she was working instead of on the dole, she wouldn't get her rent and council tax paid. She'd have to pay it herself.<br /><br />Like <i>everybodyy else</i>!JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-41380390562394322192009-07-16T17:13:56.976+01:002009-07-16T17:13:56.976+01:00"...I reckon the magistrate does not live on ...<i>"...I reckon the magistrate does not live on the estate."</i> <br /><br />Perish the thought!<br /><br /><i>"You are assuming that these bright products of our education system can read."</i> <br /><br />Ah, true...<br /><br /><i>"Or you could use the scissors to cut off the hoods instead."</i> <br /><br />Lol!JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-1122602948786749032009-07-16T14:07:08.076+01:002009-07-16T14:07:08.076+01:00There's no shame any more because even if you ...There's no shame any more because even if you don't behave, don't work, break the law you still get things.<br /><br />In a pre-welfare state era, a policeman could take a boy home to his parents and know they would do something. No forms, no lawyers. Home to the parents who would straighten him out.<br /><br />In the current age, where parents have frequently become grubbing spongers, they'd rather not straighten them out and instead encourage them to follow their own fecklessness, looking for reasons to get even more out of the state.<br /><br />Any attempts at youth discipline (including short sharp shocks, camps away or anything else) will mostly fail. Get rid of the welfare state and you'll create the incentive for parents to sort their kids out and you'll get rid of all of this.Tim Almondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13369256383976094670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-35380599038545184462009-07-16T13:18:15.889+01:002009-07-16T13:18:15.889+01:00"Why, then, are they even ASBO’d in the first..."Why, then, are they even ASBO’d in the first place?<br /><br />Why are they not behind bars, where they belong?"<br /><br />To make the government look good, of course! The ASBO is a political excercise, to show the government is doing something. Far better than actually enforcing existing rules, from Labour's point of view that is.Doubting Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507892426345836143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-19706026587678852092009-07-16T12:21:55.516+01:002009-07-16T12:21:55.516+01:00"Might I suggest a handy solution?
