But young people take the 5-day working week, paid holidays etc for granted. Forgetting all the unions and their members who fought very hard for those things.Marahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04464946195661953578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459431979539476850.post-55295551218976755112021-10-12T01:58:29.899+02:002021-10-12T01:58:29.899+02:00My government burrows money, America's governm...My government burrows money, America's government prints money. They don't tell people the truth about their huge deficits, yet they make people believe they're indispensable.

A similar mention of lifting from ten to fifteen quid minimum, here has fizzled away - and due to new legislation, any gathering of this sort would be deemed insurrection and punishable by imprisonment - yes, that is what the fascist err Conservative govt of Westminister has deigned to place upon all their subjects...errr fellow citizens...<br /><br />As a single person, with good budgeting, it is possibe to get by on next to nothing, but for the majority who are supporting more than themselves, as you rightly say, it is far from ideal. <br /><br />ties in rather well with my own post today, doesn't it?!
