Unemployed people have paid for their benefits through taxes and National Insurance contributions, through which workers insure themselves against the loss of income from employment. The benefit they receive is paid for, and is not a handout.' - <br />What if I'm never unemployed and so don't claim back my 'paid for' benefit during my working life, will I get all my tax and NI back or will I have only paid this money for it to be given away to people who use every excuse not to work? Also, please give examples of 'ludicrous' job offers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929662128152220904.post-19602764287573452002010-04-09T12:55:54.563+01:002010-04-09T12:55:54.563+01:00Paul to some degree I agree with your view on the ...Paul to some degree I agree with your view on the labour party - good luck in the election ! Oh by the way did you hear the tory london Mayor Boris Johnson ? <br /><br />He made his presence felt in the election campaign today by urging David Cameron to beef up one of his key policies.<br /><br />On a visit with his party leader in west London, Mr Johnson called for a mooted civilian national service scheme to be made compulsory rather than voluntary.<br /><br />Mr Cameron explained his proposals for every 16-year-old to have the opportunity to do citizen service, the Mayor broke in: "I think it should be compulsory. Why don't you make it compulsory?"<br /><br />the Tory leader suggested that teenagers participating in the scheme could do some service with the Armed Forces.<br /><br />"It might have a military side. The military are keen to get involved," he said.<br /><br />Mr Cameron said the Tory manifesto, to be unveiled next week, will include plans for powerful mayors in other major cities - hailing Mr Johnson as an example of the benefits.Respect For The Unemployedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08984143685854029162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929662128152220904.post-83894332911839209362010-04-06T15:41:45.779+01:002010-04-06T15:41:45.779+01:00Richard,

The removal of internal democracy has changed history and requires a real realignment of the left to form a new workers' party.<br /><br />Paul Cooney<br />TUSC Candidate HuddersfieldPaul Cooneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135708075542589111noreply@blogger.com
