Barry #95
1/ IDS did indeed say he could live on £53/week. What sum is necessary, and what if that is arbitrarily reduced by 14%?
2/ I do not doubt that many in employment (with and without benefits) are taking home less, but it a lesser amount than the something, not less of the never enough. [Speaking as you do, is the same as saying that he who loses a finger is the same as he who loses a thumb.]
3/ Swapping one in full time work for two or three on zero+ hours is a falsity. i.e. Lies, damn lies...and statistics.
4/ What benefit is a room that you do not use? What benefit is it to lose a room you have a use for? (see #94)
5/ "Even a broken clock tells the right time twice a day?"
6/ No need to enquire where you get yours, you give none but, have rents not gone up at all?
7/ He is a very fine match for you here;answering collective punishment with collective blame.
8/ "Absurd"= No reasoned response available?
9/ Work IS prime, but punitive punishment comes first?
10/ So you are a fan of Music Hall? "It's the rich what gets the pleasure..."
Speaking of the worth of Libraries...
"There is no class so pitiably wretched as that which possesses money and nothing else."
