// OG supertax (19/6 in the £1)//
O dear God let me no inject a vein of realism into this thread.
This was the era of the £20,000 suit

what IS he on abart dis time den? foo !
each gross £1 earned yielded 6d - and 40000 six punces are £500 cost of rather expensive saville row suit ( 1960s) - £200 was more like it. [my first suit was an expensive £15)

Given some of the attitudes here, I give up trying to argue for a fairer society.
Too many attitudes are rather selfish in my opinion.
No sympathy or empathy, but jumping on the few examples of benefit scroungers, who provide the motivation to continue to treat the deprived with such callousness.
"Love thy neighbour, (as long as it doesn't cost me too much!)"

Baldric - I too worked all my life. 80 plus hours a week 7 days a week for years. Family lacked nothing.
Had 6 months unemployed in 1982. Very hard. It worse these days. After retiring I found myself on hard times, waiting to qualify for my state pension. Very hard times.
I totally understand what poverty is.
Scroungers exist, of course, but sitting in the job centre listening to stories, I assure you they are a tiny minority, that the media magnify out of all proportion.

It is a fair society. Anyone can be an entrepreneur ie Richard Branson. The poorest might write a song as did Beatles, or book as jkRowling who was on benefits when she wrote Harry Potter. Benefit takers have the luxury of income to spend time with their family & friends and time for their imaginations to soar. Theyre all able to use cell phones & IT play games. Write one hit song, busk, be a linguist, play an instrument; all possible to earn a crust.
stop whingeing, use your time to learn!

Theland, you admit scroungers exist, although how you can state there aren't very many based on talking to those in one employment agency and then extrapolate that to the whole country escapes me. Irrespective of how many there are, do you think these scroungers are being fair by accepting money with no intention of repayment?
