But who will serve you your coffee in the local cafes if they can't afford the housing or transport costs into Dover town centre? Doesn't even your model require local poorly paid people to add glitter onto the chosen lifestyle you are promoting?
(When you say "in all seriousness", do you mean "in all seriousness"?)
Capt Haddock, if your post #4 was directed at me, please re-read the above. I merely suggested that your model is flawed for without your "whining low skilled Dovorians" your street wouldn't be sanitised, your library wouldn't be open, your cafes wouldn't be staffed, your retail outlets wouldn't be staffed, your high street burgers would remain unflipped, your children/grandchildren would not have classroom assistants, your elderly and incapacitated loved ones would not get the care they deserve.
I didn't make the case for giving the low paid a pay rise (though I would quite happily) and I didn't suggest that your low skilled Dovorians are willfully avoiding work. The Trussell Trust has enough evidence of those in the bracket of "in work poverty".
So I reprise my statement, in all seriousness: When you say "in all seriousness", do you mean "in all seriousness"?
