Van driver earning more than class 1 driver

What happened to a working mans, or woman’s, pride in being self sufficient.

Deliberately keeping earnings low in order to gain subsidies, from other taxpayers, namely those who refuse to put their hand out to the state.
Next thing you know they’ll be milking the sick pay, and still being subsidised.

Hope no one mentions austerity :unamused:

It went when you became “entitled” to benefits. It stopped being the safety net and became the way of life.

Where does the contract state that the social security system was mean’t as as safety net as opposed to an income protection policy ?.While if not the latter then why would anyone want to pay in for such a worthless policy especially the type of rip off premiums being charged for it.Let alone not having the choice to say no thanks and look elsewhere for a better deal.
