Hence your comment above is pretty moronic and not anywhere near as clever as you thought it was when you posted it.'"
That wasn't a clue, that was the actual definition. Not just me with the problem with English it seems.
Not another Labour voter who hopes people don't remember how he/she voted to screw the poor are you?
Stiil, keep bleating about the hypocrite Osborne.

I am surprise you still want to keep digging.
The point you made was and is moronic.
Setting a minimum wage does not impose a maximum on anyone. Setting up a commission to advise what that minimum level should be, to take it out of politicians hands, is not as you said "the reason that people are earning below living wage".
You thought you were being clever but were in fact being rather stupid.

I believe most of your neighbours survive on root vegetables, and supplement their diet with a day out in the fields with their ferrets.
£3.5K sounds a tad generous.

Actually, surviving on 70 notes a week is an artform.
Gas
Leccy
TV license
Water Rates
Council Tax
Mobile Phone (the Jobcentre do actually require a contact number)
Food
Clothing
It's a lifestyle choice don't you know?

I think it's disgusting that you are wasting your time on these boards at the taxpayers expense, when you should be actively seeking employment.
And don't give me any of that malarkey about looking and applying for jobs on line as the reason you are joined at the hip to your internet enabled device.
Yours incandescent,

I you not.
Just been down my mates allotment and got given sprouts, cabbage (ajw variety) parsnips and a swede.
Also spuds and onions that he had stored from earlier this year at home.
Slow cooker, beef casserole looks the way forward.

How many people are only getting £70 a week? I would assume your council tax will also be covered through benefits?

Many who are singularly unemployed I would imagine.
Council tax wasn't paid if unemployed but as of last year a percentage has now to be found.
Think it's 25% of the annual bill.

And underemployment?
All those having to use foodbanks or rely on Red Cross parcels?
Is austerity working for them.
Have you got anything to contribute other than soundbites and a habit of running away whenever you're asked a direct question?
Come to think of it, have you yet answered Sheldon's remarkably simply one about what you do for a living?
Never mind his slightly more complex and philosophical one – well, for a limited intellect – of what value you place on human life?
Or will you just run away. Again.
Like a little troll with nary an idea of their own.

| Something is happening - it could be just a timing thing - I am being asked about my interest in more jobs and I will not be the only one. There does seem to be more activity on the job front than there has been for several months.
