Do you want to discuss boring politics? (33 Viewers)

Well I suppose it's nothing really given that they expect to lose around £21B
from the £70B odd dished out through the business support grants of the last couple of years to bogus claims etc .Sounds like they won't be chasing that.

 

[clint van damme]

Revenge sounds a bit strong shmmeee. The underlying thought process doesn’t appear unreasonable although weird that supporting info hasn’t been released. If I was out of work I’d expect to get a job outside of my preference/expertise to earn rather than have benefits. I’m fully able to so why shouldn’t I ?! I reckon most people would as a majority prefer not to be on benefits (which are fuck all) so I doubt the policy change will make a huge difference. I know a fair few who did exactly that, especially during the pandemic and as a nation/western world we have staff shortages so I’m struggling to understand the uproar

It does feel like this has been brought in to divert attention from the shitshow in government though

Edit - an easy win would be to say any savings (as indicate above I think they’d be minimal) would be diverted to boost the amounts given to those that genuinely are can’t work

It doesn't sound strong at all, they're sadistic, vindictive cunts.
And the process of getting a job can easily take longer than a month from start to finish.

But as Wingy said, not bothered about recouping the billions fraudulently claimed by businesses. Vermin.

Its ridiculous and a disgrace. Over the years I found not to trust any government with our money. Wasted.

I’m sure they’ll be chasing some of it but billions will be lost to fraud

But you won’t take the bet little Dave?

If you’re so keen on gambling and boasting about how much money you have just pop down the bookies and ask for odds.

Is he doing that weird bet thing he does when he's made himself look a prize twat?

Wow

I don’t get this with ‘charity bets’ anyway. If you want to give £500 or whatever then just do it unconditionally. If you want an actual bet then offering a humble brag ‘look how rich I am’ isn’t the way either.

No I’m just laughing at David a made up cartoon character who doesn’t even have any convictions let alone courage of them

It was one of the most pathetic posts I've seen on here. Absolutely tragic stuff.

100%, if I was to apply for a job today , the closing date might be another 2 weeks away, then interviews another 2 weeks away So thats 4 weeks just to interview. They may be interviewing over a couple of days if they can't do them in all one. Then if you're lucky enough to get it, a lot of employers will want pre employment checks, references could be a week, they will want you to bring in your id and education certificates, and may want an occupational health checks. This information is likely to be in your conditional offer letter which as we know with most HR departments can take a week or 2 to come out. Another week or 2 for those checks, then waiting for HR to send out your conditional offer. And what if the job requires you to have a DBS? That's another couple of weeks.

A typical job recruitment.

Week 0: Apply for job
Week 1
Week 2: closing date
Week 3: shortlisting
Week 4: interviews (verbal offer)
Week 5: ask for references
Week 6: conditional offer letter requesting you come in to bring your documents for ID to prove you can work in this council, your eduction certificates, and perhaps id for a dbs
Week 7: take in documents, dbs submitted, occupation health check
Week 8:
Week 9
Week 10: dbs clears
Week 11: conditional offer sent asking for confirmed start date. Agree to start on Monday
Week 12: Start work

Even if your not having a dbs it's a good 8-10 weeks.

Making allusions to other people not having enough money to take part in your world of fantasy charity bets is just dickhead behaviour, sorry.

Considering David accused me of being an unemployed beggar whose only ever job was a “gateman” and the other day accused another poster of having no money and laughed they could afford to take a minor bet - well that’s a very balanced opinion clearly

Can you tell how to appear to not be completely awful cunts while still actually being complete awful cunts.

As if further confirmation was needed that Boris Johnson is actually a bumbling idiot and it’s not just an act to make him look lovable.

The tories are that desperate to deflect attention from them, they are retweeting a video of Starmer from July 2019 about why brexit was a bad idea.

Ita actually lots of mini bottles of vodka like you get in hotel mini bars, easy mistake to make though.

You can always use tippex if the off-license is closed and you're really desperate

Johnson is off to Ukraine apparently.

First it was a fridge, now it's Ukraine. Truss is going as well.

Then a call with Putin. Imagine those two trying to talk to and negotiate with Putin. They'll end up handing over Northern Ireland and a few battleships and calling it a great deal.

 

[David O'Day]

If this is the toned down at the mets request version then wow if teh met do their job it could be pure gold. Big if though

 

[SBT]

There are presumably going to be some brutally embarrassing details in the final Sue Gray report - plenty of news cycles left in this one yet. Not sure Johnson will survive it all unless he finds some way to stop the whole thing being published - his demeanour in parliament later will be telling.

 

[PVA]

The report is out and as you'd expect it's an absolute farce.

" Against the backdrop of the pandemic, when the Government was asking citizens to accept far-reaching restrictions on their lives, some of the behaviour surrounding these gatherings is difficult to justify "

Difficult to justify.

Wow. Real harsh words there Sue. That'll teach Boris.

Theresa’s seen enough!
