New Minimum Wage Out Today

Thu Oct 01, 2015 4:48 pm

No wonder people cant be arsed to get a job with family's when there's no incentive there, I know a couple who worked out the difference between benefits & wages they would be doing it for an whopping extra £10 a week but here's the best bit they wouldn't even get that as they would have to put more fuel in car to get back and forth :shock:

Another reason why this country is a mess.

To me it makes sence to say here you go here's half your benefits your having now and take the minimum wage also that way theres something in it for you plus the government would save billions a year but who am I just another tax payer to shaft :roll:

21 and over - £6.70

18 to 20 - £5.30

Under 18 - £3.87

Apprentice - £3.30

Definitely won't be worthwhile working if your on minimum wage when the working tax credits are cut next April. A big incentive to get back into work being cut heavily with the wage increase no were near making up the loss.
So much for the Tories being for the workers :roll:

At least we don't discriminate unlike what Germany are going to do against their own citizens in favour of Migrants.

This country's all in favour of migrants, I could go on forever as to the reason why. Just the other day a women I know with two kids had been on a housing waiting list for three years yet the one she went for got given to a polish couple with a child who been over here four months . Mental.

British citizens are being discriminated against but that's ok. I was in Steyning last month (1 mile away from me) and is known as millionaire/Billionaire village and was visiting family and just before I got to my Brother's house I noticed an estate agent showing a Romanian family (2 adults and 6 children) this house which was up for rent, this small area is housing association and council housing and the waiting list is 7 years and usually go to local people and it's been that way for generations.

As I past and me being me I always say what's on my mind and often get's me into trouble (Politicly incorrect) so as I got close and the tenants were smiling and the agent I said what's happened to the last tenants?, The council didn't renew their contract. I asked him that did he know there's a 7 year waiting list for houses in this area?, he said, and?, you're missing the point I said, These aren't refugees but economic migrants who haven't no job and they're been shown houses to live in while the locals are yet again shunted to the back of the queue and have no chance of getting accommodation all the while your discriminating by giving immigrants houses before the locals, would these countries house me before their locals, I think not.

Agent said he'd call the police as I was being racist, I laughed and said sorry mate, the race card doesn't work any more and I'm allowed to ask why?, They ventured inside and I walked on. Shiver me timbers, as I turned the corner there was a car parked up with 7 people inside, I just laughed at seeing this, I knocked on the window and the old boy undone it and said speak no English, I laughed and said it sounds ok to me, inside was Grandpa, Grandma and family. It was bloody obvious what was happening, the family at the house would take it, move in and this car load would also move in like you see on the news where 30 plus migrants are found living in the house.

I told them it's not going to happen as I'll make sure and the locals will demonstrate when I spread the word. I just can't believe that migrants turn up with out jobs and jump the housing queue before locals and it's all paid for by the tax payer.

Haven't been past but will on Sunday when visiting family and check to see if they've accepted the freebie.
