Muslims figure disproportionately among both the unemployed and also jail residents in UK. 46% of the Muslim population lives in the 10% most deprived local authority districts in England and this has increased since the 2001 census.

If we cut military spending then servicemen may well be added to list of unemployed, but then again they won't cost any more than the long term can work but don't want to work unemployed..

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
break the welfare down and its only £2.3b for the unemployed. we more than likely get at lest half of that back.
break the defence down and we spend £7.7b on foreign economic aid (whatever that is) my point is that there is to much slandering of the unemployed costing us too much when in fact its the other benefits for such things as family tax credits and other benefits for working family's. the Gov should not be paying people to work but they do as the cost of living is out of control. |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
It not so much what welfare costs, I know a few people that have paid loads into system in tax and NI while working but as soon as they need something back they get offered peanuts and told 'you have assets, sell them and come back when you have no money' while the long term-died-in-the-wool-know all the benefits and never worked people seem to do very nicely thank you, seems that if you are a 'regular' you get more help.

That £2.3bn is unemployment benefits, which is a deliberately small category. The unemployed can and do claim a lot more than that. And it outweighs military spending by a huge margin.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I day bring back national service. That'll stop the argument as there would be very little unemployment to compare defence with.
My gripe today is people who moan. |

How does it not work? There is nothing there to not work.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Diesel cars. High Wycombe seems to be full of ten year old + diesel cars that have never been serviced and emit clouds of disgusting black smoke all the time. I also seem to get stuck behind them on every hill (there are lots here) and they give me a headache. How the hell do these fecking things get through the MoT? The sooner the disgusting stuff gets banned the better.
