The same old tired poverty bashing, and as for Jeremy using quote marks for "sick" and talking about "a bit of depression in there" is utterly disgusting. I suffer from depression and anxiety bu I have always struggled into work unless it is utterly debilitating. There have aklso been times when work has actually been the cause of my illness, but this sort of belittling is deeply concerning.
TERRIBLE WORK BALANCE WITH CRAP JOBS LEADS TO PEOPLE EATING FOR PLEASURE,
Too much stick and not enough carrot. If jobs pay so little that they have miserable lives, where is the insentive.Poverty is actually traumatic for whole famililes. Cheap poor food causes obesity. Fresh meat and vegatables are expensive.
I have been suffering from ill health and disabilities ever since 2006 almost 20 years I have had treatments but nothing has worked ,then Tameside Hospital wrote me off .Then I got sent to Salford Hospital 🏥 ,but they have only seen me once . If i don't get help from the NHS then how the hell am i supposed to get better and if it is a easy as that ,i would be better now .This is thsnks to all the Tories cuts . I will never forgive them . Oh and the medication they put you on causes all sorts of problems
check how many of those on sickness benefit were in a crap very low paying job
Very true. The welfare system incentivises people to seek ever more diagnoses of tenuous conditions to maximise benefits and see this as a life choice of never working. We all know this. It happens all around us even in our own families and friends. It is the truth that dare not speak its name. I personally know someone who has successfully conned the NHS and DWP that they have agrophobia and panic attacks leaving their house and even speaking to people on the phone. They receive UC, higher rate PIP (daily living and mobility - even though they say they cant go out?) full rent and council tax benefit. They could never earn a wage that would generate this income. This allows them to spend their days on art projects, writing poetry and short stories and planning the next music festival to attend! Just one of thousands of examples out there gaming the system.
Sick rich people should be made to work too, to pay some tax.
"sick would be things that are preventable" - Jeremy Vine
I worked from the age of 16 and worked until I was 55. I went on ESA as I had a back problem and I finished on disability. I cannot walk more than 2 metres. Not everyone is bleeding the system. I had
My works pension the day I was supposed to go for a medical with Atos. Body shaming is mom the same lines as being a racket and not many people like this. As it can trigger a point in people with mental health issues
I think some airtime should be allocated to the subject of bullying in the workplace in this country. It is rife in all industries and can be very detrimental to the wrong persons. The biggest problem with it is the bullied victims have no recourse to fall back on. If they do something , they're sacked not the bully, because the bully has already got in with the superiors. I know from experience.
Bullying from the likes of these types of programmes.
If You Have A Labour MP, email them or call about "Winter Fuel Payment"... OAP'S have paid in for over 50 years.😡
I called mine and asked his office how he voted..... He voted to take the money away after begging my mum for her vote.... Justin madders labour mp granny mugger
Get over it ffs. It's going to the poorer than poor
@@tomalex4806 I will not get over it. When our slimy mp knocked on my 74 year old mothers house begging for votes.... As per lied to us. Thank fuvk I didn't vote for these twats. Good job I've plenty money to help mother
How do they survive on sickness benefits l couldn't.
Around £1,300 pcm when on UC and full PIP award and then additional rent/council tax benefit as well. Where I live rents are still vaguely affordable so say £500 pcm and £80 council tax pcm for 1 bed flat. Total benefits package then £1,880 pcm for a single person, more if children. To earn a net take home pay of £1,880 pcm your salary would need to be around £25/26k pa. This means If you have little education and skills so would only get a minimum wage job with no promotion or training opps you are better off on benefits gaming the system getting a diagnoses for some tenuous condition ( ME, fibromyalgia, anxiety ie some of the few often cited as not easy for the medical profession to disprove). We all know someone who does this. We need to be honest about it and get it sorted. Benefits should not be a life choice of never putting a shift in and contributing.
Every month almost it is the same talking point let talk about sick and disabled how they are playing the system can't you come up with new talking points for a change instead of everyone on sick must be faking it
It might help if people can get the medical help that they need so they can get back to work.
@@pugwash84 Well said
And this will continue to rise,keep raising the retirement age will only lead to more people on long term sickness
When my Husband started having mobility problems in 2003 he got given a wheelchair ♿ ,they don't give a stuff about me
Cause it’s just that easy to get on disability benefits.. 😂😅 he’s living in a bloody fantasy world.
Honestly it still amazes me that food is completely blamed, yes it's a big factor, but most people who can't move or excise who are unwell, or mentally unwell and put on medication that too put on weight. For example the pill say in there guide that it puts on a stone a year. So for those who can't balance it or exercise that is what happens, I think for some it is easy to balance and for other it's not. Those that are sick or can't work it is mostly because they struggle no because they aim to scam the system.
People using foodbanks because they have too little money left after paying bills, are probably offered high carb foods, and little good quality proteins.
Her metaphor with the German concentration camp, and obesity, is suggestive, Jeremy. Good that you brushed that one off quickly, heard that one before haven't you?
I think we need to take a close look at the sick peoples covid vaccination status and see if theres a correlation with the onset of their condition.
Some people who are very large as a result of misery,loneness, and of course money as well as people who live with a feeder stop just pointing your finger. When people are on holiday they do things they would not do at home that’s why it’s called a holiday
Love the orchestrated panels 🐏🐏🐏 will never learn 😢
I don't even eat properly either ,don't have a hot meal and been living on sandwiches 🥪 but one a day ,I am struggling to eat because Scoliosis is crushing my guts and my lungs ,my heart .my Bowels ,my Bladder , my ribs and my stomach it is Evil 😈 and the pain it causes is horrendous also get heartburn because of this ,tried wearing countless back braces but none of them help ,and i have had to buy these myself as the NHS won't give me one ,I don't know why .Also been struggling with my mobility for some years and it is getting worse but the NHS won't even give me a wheelchair ♿ and they are way too expensive .
Friend of mine was self employed- still died of cancer. Despite what this woman seems to think.
I am sick of people nagging about people who are sick and on benefits ,oh when did we break the law ⚖ ? 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡
I have has to take my Pension Early,
4 Years after catching Covid,
I still get Tired just walking for a few Minuities,
have to sit down after standing after about 10 Minutes.
The health response to long covid in this country is abysmal. In Norway, they had rehabilitation programmes in place by summer 2020. I follow someone on TH-cam who caught COVID in March 2020 and was given a 3 week programme in a rehabilitation centre where they gave people individual assessments and treatment. He is now fully recovered from short term memory loss, weakness, fatigue…all those viral symptoms of autoimmune disorders. I hope you get the help you need. ❤The channel is Arne and Carlos if you want to look it up.

Oh and i am getting worse ,and I am very breathless when i move even just a little bit and i don't smoke so don't blame that , it is putting so much pressure on my heart ♥ but they still don't take me seriously ,they will wait until i have a heart attack ,it is ridiculous . I don't have asthma either ,I have tried that .doesn't work .I have always got a cough and cached bad chest infections . I have also put on weight but not because I eat too much ,nice try but i don't i barely eat and feel sick a lot and i started to put on weight when my Doctor put me on antidepressants ,Fluxatine ,avoid these at all costs . They cause weight gain , bad acne ,no motivation , suicidal thoughts but i don't have that thank goodness , blurry vision ,tiredness , forgetfulness . Lack of concentration ,dizziness , dry skin , dry mouth dry eyes , loss of appetite .loss of interests you once liked . These tablets are supposed to stop depression but it is clear to me they make you worse .
Oh and thinning of the hair
Don't take them people, my mum said those tablets were bad
They make me worse too, i refuse to take anymore tablets, even the mental health services are a joke, i lost my place at the local services because i forgot my appointment because of the tablets, then they moved out the area but im unable to travel to see them even if i did manage to get a place back, not that they helped anyway they never gave any ways to deal with things...not to mention I've since learned alot about mental health in order to treat myself and i think they got my diagnosis wrong
Bread cheap pasta cheap chips cheap refined carbs is cheap take it out we will be starved for that diet cus they used to crap cus it's cheap
Too much carbs
I feel sorry for families who have members that have to buy gluten free products
Dairy free too
Scrap the benefits system. They are a bunch of free loaders.
Scrap the entire benefits system?
I know, what a preposterous remark. @@jamesg8175
I guess you're not hoping for a state pension then
Then when you do that and people break into your house and car Keir then what. You think these people won't do anything to feed their families and eat. We don't have the police or jails to deal with more crimes on mass. Stop talking from your colon
Take your silver spoon from out yer backside. Guarantee you won't refuse your state pension which is also classed legally as a benefit
