Jobs are hard to find right now.
I'm not excusing people who have been on benefits since they left school - seems to me there must have been something, somewhere they could have done.

But right here & now, even relevant experience and being willing to work for peanuts isn't enough.

And any politician who doesn't know this needs a smack upside the chops.

I don't qualify for free prescriptions, but at least I only have to pay £14.80 every other month for my drugs (anti-depressants and GORD). And nothing for contraception or if I need to go to hospital - emergency or otherwise.

Actually, I think SamIam deserves an apology for that rude behavior

Here's the linky-dink.

Oh marvellous! Thanks for that Spexx:)


My favourite line in the entire show, which sums up how I sometimes feel when I end up in a political discussion with people on the right of the American spectrum:

I swear to God if I have one more person try to argue that Hitler's Third Reich was a failed experiment in socialism I will literally puke in their virtual face.

And even those of my friends on the conservative side of the fence over here (yes, there are one or two :P)would have a hard time reconciling Barack Obama with calls of socialism. Seriously bizarre the shit that gets labelled socialist.



[eta] dang :P can't watch the clips outside US. Still, it's a decent write up and I can always get the full ep via links *grins*

Prepare to lol again, if only in your beer, because it's back. In a number of instances, I've heard this description of the ongoing class warfare: It's the "Productive Class" versus the "Dependent Class". There will be more, not less, of this. I'm glad you can laugh. I hope I can learn to.

:D

Think of yourself as a Fluffy parasite. You'll feel much cuter. ;)
