We're breeding a nation of uneducated serfs aren't we?

Deluded into taking out 'Payday' loans to buy Chinese tat to keep little Kayleigh and Ryan happy, whilst getting off of their faces on cheap booze. MSE is awash with them, needing a loan to pay off their existing loans and thinking that 'APR' means 'April'.

A class of people, and there are millions of them, who know the benefits system inside out but think Iceland is primarily a shop and not a country.

These people are the types who come out with garbage like "If you've got nothing to hide you've got nothing to fear", and will be enslaved by, and depedant on the state from cradle to grave. They're born, they breed, they die. They contribute nothing other than the occasional appearance on modern day freak shows like Kyle and Trisha.

We might just as well go into full Matrix mode, sedate them, and use them as Duracells.

I despair.

So your saying APR doesn't mean April!!!!

It's all getting too complicated now...

Too many people really don't understand debt but then again isn't that the point. If people understood debt we wouldn't be in this mess.

Viva ignorance.

Hi hedgefunded, did you have a good weekend?

ROTW.

To be fair, not understanding debt is hardly confined to the underclass.

I know plenty of 'educated' middles who are financially retarded.

Which particular thread over there sparked you off?

You are correct, of course.

Indeed we are, it's not only the banks and government that are zombie, it's the people too. Lurching from one TV reality show to the next, living pay-check to pay-check, but they have a god to look up to, Martin Clueless of Money Saving Eejit.

On the other hand - you can't be a debt slave if you never bother paying back what you owe!

Our chav class is sitting pretty. They take credit and don't repay. They break the law and don't get punished. They drive without tax or insurance. They breed with no thought of how they will support their offspring. They get housed and fed whatever they do. They lead lives dominated by TV, booze, "rights" and petty feuds with other chavs.

They are perpetual childen of a paternal state.

Gonna make great telly when this is all suddenly taken from them - govt. policy or state failure* will do this one way or another.

Glad I don't live on one of those mixes HA estates TBH.

*To be clear - not collapse just inability to maintain benefit payments.

Watching people at work yesterday gravitate to the telly as X Fartor started, silently without any hesitation they drift in to the TV lounge as it starts and sit glued like gormless cult victims or characters from Children of the Damned listening to a "broadcast". The level of mental attachment to the vacuous in this country is scary, the central controlers have done their work well.

Quite a succinct summary of a large section of the population. The question is "How long can this continue?".

It's all very well saying that the state can't afford to support a bunch of freeloading deadweights but the facts are that this situation had been rumbling along for well over a decade, it's been a long time since government revenue covered expenditure. Who's to say it can't go on for a few more years yet?

And the only way I can see it ending is with an all out state implosion, where we'll all be screwed.

Nobody told me I'd have to pay it back. I thought they were giving me the money free.

That bright house ad makes me want to go and protest outside their shops "expensive tat on tick"

Sadly stupid people don't realise they are stupid though.

Television has always relied on the lowest common denominator.And the ITV has officially admitted to that.
