      You talking about the government induced culture where they invited people who could get paid less than minimum wage and have their dependents claim benefits aswell?
      It’s not exactly surprising that if you destroy huge swathes of the employment opportunities, that people will get left behind. It’s happening up where I live now because of the green energy push. A lot of the policies tie in together. There’s more to this than just people being lazy.

    We get by on about £12k a year. We don't have a mortgage because we worked hard to pay it off when we were younger and more healthy - thinking of future security. We have a small private pension and I work self employed part time despite serious health problems which the NHS don't seem to want to address - 3 years waiting for a life changing operation since diagnosis.
    Next year I will get my state pension. We will feel like millionaires! Unless Starmer steals it because we have savings or something.
    There are loads of jobs out there and some, like being a support worker, are hugely rewarding yet folk seem to feel they are better than these jobs and sit around begging on the dole playing the victim card for all it is worth.
    Yes, I was a support worker, wiping bottoms, cleaning up vomit, emptying catheter bags at midnight etc etc (holding the hands of the terminally ill when there was no one else to care) until my own own health problems stopped me and I was proud and privileged about the contribution I was making.
    I did not put out my begging bowl I just found other work I could manage.

      I hear you.mGood for you well done. Now retired and living in Australia and ex nurse I laterally worked in tertiary education teaching aged and disability. Having a fairly significant disability myself I could see things from both sides. Yes it does take tenacity but I have discovered that it’s often in very short supply.
      People that need care deserve to be supported by skilled and knowledgeable workers. The requirements for this job are grossly underestimated in my view.
      Out here you can’t get a job without a minimum relevant vocational qualification and it has to nationally recognised . Qualifications are NOT international and vary from country to country. This has helped to professionalise the workplace. At the same the pay is considerably more than it is in the uk. A friends 16 year old daughter earns $35 an hour working in aged care on a Saturday.
      I was very open about my challenges with disability, though anyone can see that I can’t use my right hand. And disability study tends to attract students with disabilities themselves, but they used to tell me frequently “if you can do it either your problems then so can I”.
      So keep doing what you’re doing , you can hold your head up high! ❤❤

Disability awareness training for employees should be part of an organisation’s accreditation process too. There are actually lots of things that can be done to help this awful situation. Now retired I trained in the nhs but I live in Australia. While not perfect the Aussie system blows the uk equivalent right out the water! .
      It’s ludicrous that people can go on the sick indefinitely go without regular reviews. Not good for the economy or the client. This actually encourages problems with mental health!

When asked what we could do you avoided the question by merely saying that almost everywhere else does it differently and better, and falling back on soft platitudes about including everybody in the conversation. So start the conversation. But you don't because you know whatever you say will be massively controvesial. This is exactly the behaviour that is causing the problem... we all know what we have is flawed, that we have to change, but the question is in what specific way(s).

    Scaring people into work doesn´t work, if we want to help people who are long term unemployed, first we have to provide jobs they can do, and we have to provide decent retraining opportunities.
    What the job centre does, is it basically tries to force people to accept the first offer they see, even if it isn´t really suitable for them. What they do in Scandinavian countries, is they actually try to work out a plan to get the person employed in a job they can hold down long term.
    Also, Thatcherism has been a disaster, it set the UK back socially by a good few decades, there is a huge rust belt which is shouting out for help, and nobody is giving it. Labour,, Reform, the Tories, they´re all terrible, they´re just all Thatcherite parties these days.

      If a job centre is working as it supposed to, it does two things: Getting people to think about what they would like to do long term and take some steps to make that a reality (whether it is courses, networking events). Getting people to broaden their horizon and look at what they can do in the immediate future to bring in some money, gain experience and network.
      It doesn't sound that different in Scandinavian countries. A guy told me one day "I have a right to work in the job of my choosing". So I asked him, "If 10 million people want to be chefs, whether you will get paid or not depends on whether there are enough people that want to eat (and pay) at restaurants. Of course you have the right to work for free, but even then the employer will be taking a risk, so you will need to make your argument and compete against the other candidates.
      I don't know. Is that Thatcherite?

      Yes but it needs regular periodic assessment and disability is very diverse and is not a constant and changes regularly. Employers need to be trained in the BENEFITS of employing people with disabilities themselves. I had a major stroke at the age of 38. I lost the use my right side, couldn’t speak a word for 2 weeks, shouldn’t swallow , read, spell count or walk!, major disability in anybody’s book. But either with a lot hard work and tenacity and help from the professionals the only residual effects after a year or so were the non use of my right hand and occasional issues with my balance. A ex registered nurse I was able to gain employment teaching disability and aged care at tertiary level. I live in Australia where all workers in the care sector have to do a nationally accredited vocational qualification.
      Trust me it was damned hard work. It’s easier just to give up.

      @ yes i understand this. But there are certain disabilities out there that is not curable and can get worse. And just affects people in different ways. So already there are reviews in place to make sure that people are still entitled to benefits and medical evidence has to be provided. I agree if some can and want to work ,it’s fair. But i strongly believe some just absolutely need the help 100%.

Do not think that their example is representative. Or however common it has been, it will be increasingly rare in the years to come.
