What Scotland gets is determined by the Barnett formula. Very beneficial. Starving children should be fed by their parents who, if they are unable to do just that, should receive the appropriate benefits to allow them to fulfill their parental duties. I can’t be any clearer. If you disagree, that’s fair enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rider Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Ah, The Barnett formula where we get approximately half of what we put in. Not subsidies then. The same subsidies you strangely are against for the needy but you think your country gets. Don’t see what the appeal of the Union is here at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetmonster Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 1 hour ago, Dawson Park Boy said: IMO, a correct decision. It is the job of parents to feed their children , not the state. If the parents don’t have enough money due to Covid related problems, then benefits policy needs to be looked at. This was the principle espoused by Beveridge who founded the welfare state. Benefits were to meet short term problems but not to be a permanent state of affairs. Chicago Public Schools offer every child a free breakfast and lunch because it’s cheaper to do that than it is means test it. Do you think they should means test it so it’s only those who temporarily need it get it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Quite astonishing that someone can restart an old account, freely admit they're doing so to troll for attention, and have so many people interacting with them as though good faith arguments are being made. Also nice to see Oaksoft back under a new name, although the measured personality schtick is still a bit dull so can we get back to the furious outrage about bloody paupers stealing tax money please? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Restart an old account" - I stopped posting for a few years then started again, you make that sound like a crime and I've never once said "I came back to troll for attention" or anything near that, i find it so weird that you and other boring as f**k posters get annoyed when people interact with me. I know you try really hard on posts that nobody cares about but don't take it out on me that people conversate with me, it's not a competition. Also funny that you think nothing I say could be a good faith argument because I've previously admitted to winding people up, as if other posters have never dared to do such things on an online messageboard, you're an utter wet wipe of a poster and you literally post about me whilst also getting irked that other posters speak to me, talk about defeating your own argument. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don't think Oaksoft ever displayed such nausea at the concept of LGBTQ+ people and the things they do. Apologies to the master for being fooled by such a poor imitation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If self employed there is a scheme to pay based on last tax return. Obviously, some folks will fall through the safety net and there is universal credit available. Which category of person are you specifically highlighting who are unable to feed their kids? I would suggest maybe those working full time who are still relying on foodbanks to keep body and soul together. Universal Credit, for fck's sake. Abhorrent doesn't do you justice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say a fair assesment would be that Bojo is a populist and he doesn't seem to mind backtracking at all depending on which way the political winds are blowing, the party says that they listened and correctly changed their minds whilst the opposition seems to sit back and hope the electorate are smart enough to clock what's going on, unfortunately for Keir this sensible approach could be his downfall as the electorate are extremely fickle. I think similar may happen with the nurses question and I do think they've really missed the mark by going with the minimum 2%, if the issue keeps getting brought up Boris will unashamedly realise the error of his ways and go above 2% which makes Labour look like Torylites. Keir really needs to up his game, he's still got time though.
