  1. They perceive they can't win the game. So they give up.

  2. Education is free until you're 18. Health care is free even if you've contributed nothing, and an entire stock of cheap housing exists!!

  3. ​ @jonathanbailey1597 Improve your attitude or get buried. It's up to you. Be thankful for what you've been given. It can be quite easily taken away.

  4. ​ @jonathanbailey1597 My life is probably twice as easy as my grans. little disease, free healthcare, a welfare state, no war, central heating, loads of food, longer life expectancy, vacuum cleaners, electricity, and hot water. In comparison to 100 years ago, it is far easier.

  6. ​ @jonathanbailey1597 Do you know why the right of politics tends to win? It addresses the person on an individual level. Everything you have said is irrelevant and is just being used as an excuse for why you can't get on in life.

  8. ​ @jonathanbailey1597 .... "check the social attitude survey" You are so lazy you can't even be bothered thinking for yourself. Good God.

  10. ​​​ @jonathanbailey1597 Yeah. I went to a comprehensive and use the NHS. I own my house, have a family, and have a secure job. That means I am right and you are wrong, doesn't it? My truth obliterated yours hasn't it?

  12. Just hire an Indian. They are generally well educated, work hard, turn up on time and moan less.

  13. Young people refusing to work is why we have mass migration. We have to flood the labour market with Indians because there is a shortage of workers.

  14. ​​ @Redf322  Boris admitted it in the Telegraph the other day. He swamped the labour market with forigien labour to keep inflation down. If young people won't work they have to fill the labour gaps from somewhere.

  15. ​ @chrishartley4553 Comprehensives are good. Everyone studies the national curriculum and can obtain A levels. The NHS is actually good, in my experience they all do a tremendous job. And cheap housing exists. Look for it and take a punt!!
