You have also given more than one clue to your identity, which I suggest you delete if you don't want to delete the whole of your OP and other posts.

Sorry but... have you actually had to live on benefits with small children??

Luckily I haven't but my mother did and even in the 'old-days' it was tough and we had to rely on the help of family to get by when bills came in.

Minimum wage jobs which is all thats available to most unskilled workers. legally often do not have the flexibility of hours to accommodate single mothers.

At least this lady is trying to get work.

To be honest if she declared her earning they would affect her benefits and she'd probably not be able to pay her rent and get in a bigger mess.

I pay tax I work bloody hard but I also have some compassion.

You Celia obviously do not.

Try living on a basic benefits amount for a few months with small kids and see how you feel about this then.

I too was a bit taken aback at the brazen nature of the OP. But the idea that most of us *want* to pay tax is equally naive. In my experience, the majority of people who are able to "optimize" their tax bill do so. From cleaners, to IT contractors, to billionaire presidents. The wealthy may be within the law, but morally it's the same.


But the OP - for her own sake - should probably change the wording to something like "informal work".

Until a different system is proposed we all need to contribute if we want to use services - can't have it both ways. Agree that the big companies need to be pursued otherwise the rest of us are disproportionately subsidising them - particularly in view of the Starbucks example this morning.

OP best of luck to you earning a bit of cash- this is a tough, tough city to live in with limited funds, as a single parent etc. You may have paid taxes previously. The time will come when you will be able to contribute more with taxes once again. Until then maybe you are in a position where you need to prioritise supporting your children.


Do delete this post or do more to anonymise it though....to protect yourself

Eerrh excuse me you rotten lot. The OP did not state she was on benefits, it was one of you's assumptions, you don't know her circumstances , and her identity is secure. You don't know if she has another "tax paying" job. Your comments are all based on assumptions, shame on you all !

    • I'd quit this thread, let those who just want to slag Labour off have their own thread.  Your views on the economy are worth debating.  I'm just stunned how there wasn't this level of noise with the last government.  I could try to get some dirt on Badenoch but she is pointless  Whilst I am not a fan of the Daily Mirror at least there is some respite from Labour bashing. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/grenfell-hillsborough-families-make-powerful-36175862 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-facing-parliamentary-investigation-36188612  
    • That is a bit cake and eat it tho, isn’t it?    At what point do we stop respecting other people’s opinions and beliefs  because history shows us we sometimes simply have no other choice  you are holding some comfort blanket that allows you to believe we are all equal and all valid and we can simply voice different options - without that ever  impacting on the real world  Were the racists we fought in previous generations different? Were their beliefs patronised by the elites of the time? Or do we learn lessons and avoid mistakes of the past?   racists/bigots having “just as much to say” is both true and yet, a thing we have learnt from the past. The lesson was not “ooh let’s hear them out. They sound interesting and valid and as worthy of an audience as people who hold the opposite opinion” 
    • I don't have a beef with you. But I do have a beef with people who feel that a certain portion of the public's opinion isn't valid.  I don't like racism any more than anyone else here. But I do dislike the idea that an individual's thoughts, beliefs and feelings, no matter how much I may disagree with them, are somehow worth less than my own.  And I get the sense that that is what many disenfranchised voters are feeling - that they are being looked down upon as ignorant, racists who have no right to be in the conversation. And that's what brings out people on the margins and drives them towards extremes, like Reform.  Whether you like it or not, the racist, bigot, anti-european nextdoor to you has just as much say in the country as you do. Intellectual superiority is never going to bring them round. 
    • What is your beef with me ? Why are you asking rhetorical questions?  fighting me but excusing reform? have a look in the mirror  you’ve lost your way
