Before the application is approved, I hope this council has examined the long term viability, and has studied the details of how long the leases will be, and the credit worthiness of the tenants and their long term intentions etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-27876891545192405632008-05-23T18:32:00.000+01:002008-05-23T18:32:00.000+01:00When I taught locally I had pupils whose families ...When I taught locally I had pupils whose families were three generations unemployed because, in most cases, they had poor educational standards, expected everything to be handed to them on a plate, were happy to exist on the dole. I worked in Deal and had youngsters who wouldn't go out of the town for work experience with the attitude of 'Why should I?'<BR/>I had pupils who had a baby to avoid work. As the sister of one said to me,'Of course she hasn't got a job, Miss. She's too fuc*ing lazy. She's had a baby instead.' Last I heard she had three.<BR/><BR/>This is the cycle we've got to break. I know of a graduate who has a child and won't consider a job until her child is at secondary school. 'Why should I work when the state will provide?' It's my taxes that are keeping these people on benefit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-38317813264959618582008-05-23T17:18:00.000+01:002008-05-23T17:18:00.000+01:00A bit anti-thanet workers, Rick, but I take your p...A bit anti-thanet workers, Rick, but I take your point about getting on your bike if needs must! The problem is that the social benefit system tends to inhibit movement of labour to where work is.Bertie Biggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197385124719226254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-20248084529997332982008-05-23T17:05:00.000+01:002008-05-23T17:05:00.000+01:00Having said that I recently inquired about a contr...Having said that I recently inquired about a contract on a publicly funded site. The manager of the project told me he had been unemployed in the area (North of England) 24 years. But thanks to funding for the job creation project he had at last got work.<BR/><BR/>He seemed to expect me to be pleased for him.<BR/><BR/>I told him "F-ck off, 24 years sat on yer arse saying there is nowt round here and just wait for a handout. There is no way I work anyway near you. Idle bastard"<BR/><BR/>Thank goodness for the Poles coming in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-31010264453677653912008-05-23T17:01:00.000+01:002008-05-23T17:01:00.000+01:00There is no such thing as "Thanet's unemployed"The...There is no such thing as "Thanet's unemployed"<BR/><BR/>There is freedom of movement in UK and so the unemployed can and should move or lodge away to either work or re-train.<BR/><BR/>Sitting on their idle unskilled arses waiting for provision would not impress any employer particularly contracting firms. (Some of whom have nil local labour instructions if they take work in Thanet).<BR/><BR/>I lodged away at Chelmsford, Portsmouth and Reading to gain my qualifications in electronics and control engineering. Then moved to find work (which for a few years was very lucrative) in Wales.<BR/><BR/>If I can do it so can the others.<BR/><BR/>I certainly do all that I can to dissuade employers from taking on Thanet people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
