I worked for the DWP for about 6 months

if anything has made me suicidal in my life, working for the DWP is it

Fuck working in that

That’ll be more hassle than it’s worth being there

seeing all these jobseekers claims for Muhammad Mohammad and his 8 wives and 26 kids, never worked a day in his life getting £35k in benefits plus housing benefit and child benefit

fml

there was a girl that had been claiming benefits that got forced to take the job processing claims that was literally worse doing the job than she was claiming dole - the scheme was literally called "better off in work"

it's fucking ridiculous lol

Dwp?

It’s broken in this country, really is

department for work and pensions

Department for work and pensions

it's the government arm that deals with welfare

doesn't sound sustainable.

Oh we just call it department of welfare in canada

it falls under department of social services here

Welfare really should just be a short term thing allowing people to get back up on their feet, the fact the government has made it so that people can depend on it is horrendous really

So many years of labour, then the tories failing to improve it, universal credit is just pffftt

Ahh safety nets, they all need a maximum weight load. And everyone always ignores it

welfare in the UK is pretty much a career choice

which is fucking shameful tbh

Welfare has no reason to exist. The government merely uses it to incentivise laziness and obedience for "free stuff"

That's fucking ridiculous.

It is a career choice in Canada aswell lmao

That’s the sad bit dust, but there’s no one out there who will change that

I work fucking hard to make reasonable money

Our welfare system would barely feed a homeless person.

and I could make more just not working at all

<:high_iq:382980759012638731>

Lots of benefits <:pepe_smug:560207654207750154>

Be poor be lazy don't work

how much of your income goes towards paying for welfare benefits?

Left wing policies are so irresponsible, really are. Just look at labours recent policy announcement

@MerNihiliste a substantial amount

Mom was on it for a year after divorce she was getting i think 16,000 a year at 1k months rent in govement sub

Let the gouvernement take care of ya

£10 minimum wage, even for under 18 year olds. Look I’m 17, how clearly stupid an idea that is is plain for all to see

It's more of a housing racket then a welfare system

it's like £450/m tax and national insurance lol

True

i'm pretty sure the minimum wage in the UK is belowe £10/hour
