UK Government

Background: I was applying for help on the UK Government website, it then asked me for feedback and I gave it a negative score. It then asked me why:

Because there is no help available at all for people in full time work. I would be better off leaving my job and going on Universal Credit. How is that fair or ethical? Should I not be encouraged to work full time, is that not preferable to me sitting aorund all day making claims? I earn just enough to scrape by. Not enough to live properly. I work 6 days a week. At least 48 hours a week and even with doing that I don't earn enough to actually enjoy my life. Whereas you have people who choose not to work, spit out a kid or two and they earn more off the state then I do in full time work. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Due to coronavirus my hours have now been cut to 39 and now I will struggle to even make enough to pay my mortgage and bills for my house. (a house I only managed to buy because of a generous gift from my Step Father). The way that this government runs this country is absolutely despicable. If you're not in the boys club, or on the dole, you're fucked. When the general public (people like me!) are the ones that foot the bill for both those on the dole and the fucking retards we have running this country. I have half a mind to reenact Guy Fawkes plan. Bomb the fucking lot of you and start again. Have a government that actually gives a fuck about the people they govern.

The fact that you set a minimum wage of 8.21 and then pay yourselves over 80,000 a year is absolutely fucking ridiculous. If minimum wage is enough to live on, why are you all not on it? Would that not make it painfully clear to you fucking politicians that the working class in this country are fucked? How are you going to afford to send your children to Eton on 8.21 an hour? How are you going to afford your second home on 8.21 an hour? How are you going to feed your family or pay your mortgage on 8.21 an hour?

Must be nice in your Ivory Tower looking down on all the poor people right? Whilst you make yourselves and your friends richer. I am so done with this country. Do you know what causes more suicides in this country than anything else? The government. Do you know why? Because they do not help.
