Do you motivate people to improve their lives and their lot in life by handing them everything on a plate that they should be striving for through effort, hard-work and reward?
Instead giving it to them from the backs of those who do? Under the last 2 labour governments, Britain has suffered the exodus of high taxed, highly skilled people, isn’t it possible these people are just fed up to some extent of not reaping the rewards of their efforts? Socialism needs effort from all in order to work.
Someone posted somewhere (I can’t remember where exactly) “instead of giving them hope, we gave them tax credits”. Harsh, I know, but this is life.
