5th of UK adults not looking for work
Riedquat replied to sambino's topic in House prices and the economy
We've had quite a few young new starters in the last year where I work, and to be fair they're not particularly like that. Sure, there's a bit of a confidence issue occasionally, but that's just part of the being new and getting up to speed aspect, nothing really notable. Do sometimes get a slight sense of them thinking work should be something they just turn up for when they're in the mood though (not that they're randomly not working, but I get the impression the idea's a little bit of a struggle). But their actual work's good (the biggest problem is to stop them spending more time polishing things to perfection than is needed). -
This is a thread about the Russia - Ukraine war, and by association what's going on in Russia internally. So of course the pathetic farce that is Russia will be what's discussed here. We know there's plenty wrong within the UK (although thank heavens that although it's bad it's nowhere near Russian standards of bad), and you can find plenty of other threads talking about that if you want to discuss it.

Sounds like typical Russian transparent denial. Say or do something that you know will be taken one way because that's your intent, but for some reason deny that being that stupid, abhorrent, and irresponsible is actually what you meant. Apparently they seem to think that you can make threats and so on but you can't actually accuse them of being vile if they pretend to deny it. The type of thing an idiot bully who thinks they're clever does, even though you don't gain anything from it other than demonstrating what an untrustworthy lying POS you are.

I think there are problems on all sides here. It's completely understandable that people aren't going to want to work for a pittance whilst being treated like crap by an employer who's only not pro-slavery because this is cheaper. But there also seems to be rather too much resentment from some people about not being able to spend every second doing whatever they want to, and who don't seem to grasp that only turning up to work when you feel like it isn't OK. -
Right, so you'd rather build crap through the few parts of the country we've not made a mess of yet. Thank god for those sections of society, considering the godawful destruction caused by the pro-growth agenda. Vandals must look on in awe, when all they can manage is the odd smashed bus shelter and bit of graffiti and litter. Development and modernism with far too little restriction or thought are the biggest dangers the country faces. There's no contempt and disgust big enough for those pushing them.

Considering the poor state of so much stuff I'm not terribly convinced by Network Rail either. They love to carp on about "old infrastructure" or "climate conditions it wasn't built for" but it mostly seems to be to cover their inability to bother with basic maintenance. Just look how many bushes and trees are growing out of stonework. That's not because it's old, it's because they don't maintain it properly. If it was new you'd have the same problem in a few years if it's just left. "Leaves on the line" is similar, although goes back further - they stopped keeping the lineside clear after steam ended and now all the trees that started growing there are mature. Unfortunately both politicians and the public seem to much prefer wasting money on flashy new white elephants.

In any case comparisons with Palestine are entirely irrelevant, it's Russian scum-supporting, Putin-arse-licking sh1ts who try to draw some comparison under the apparent delusion that they've got a point. It doesn't take two brain cells to see that the two situations are very different, but anyone cheering Russia on doesn't have that many.

Minutes is longer than anyone up to no good and there at the time probably needs.

Realistically how quickly do you expect them to be able to respond? They don't have teleporters.

Either the demographic shift is a temporary thing, and thus needs to be dealt with with temporary measures that need to be reversed afterwards, or it's permament (due to increased life expentancy) and we've simply got to accept that that's the new reality, and that we can't "solve" it by a pyramid scheme approach, which is something the pro large scale unbalanced immigration lot don't understand. Anyway, compare things now to when that older demographic were young. Look at how much has changed and been automated since then. Supporting that older population should be no problem at all. Just the usual lazy, greedy short-termism messing things up as usual.

Germany to Legalise Cannabis, Will The UK Be Next ?

The same conditions for working in vastly different conditions isn't equality of treatment, it's just plain someone's head's stuck up their backside stupidity.
