I worked on the 14th floor of a building in Moorgate - we used to draw straws for who would go fetch lunch if the power was off........

I just see that something has to give mate, the working man is just borrowing to survive, taxi drivers are anyway, and that was before covid! Going to work just to pay for your tools doesn"t make sense, 7 days a week for a couple of hundred pounds profit , and paying around 5% on every card fare to the boys in the city- who agreed to that? I can see change is coming under these socialist CONS, but its in the future that we are going to have to pay it back, and im not sure how!.We are never going to get a socialist gov in the uk, but a keir/boris , take your pick, but the whole country is moaning and jobs are disappearing faster than dougie at an offer of a pound note!

"It's what he would've wanted"

The working man has always borrowed to survive.
That's why they work. Mortgage, credit cards,never never on a car or sofa etc. The unfairness is actually that non working man is better off than working man.that is where there is another wealth gap. Lazy feckless workshy liars never having to worry about the next bill as they just slap it on the counter. Job done. To coin a phrase. Million and billionaires havent taken from me as I would still pay the same tax and NI no matter. The pre sentence people are doing that.
Present and recent unemployed arnt part of my rant.
It's the long term and encompasses women and others too just to stay PC.

Job was still useless mate, you were still working long hours 7 days to make it pay, and probably didn"t so it didn"t pay, you can only do 7 days for so long before wondering what its all about, covid has just put the final nail in the games coffin. I know lots of people have to shell out, like a plumber working for himself needs a van, and tools, but if you buy a new van you can look after it till it falls apart in 20 years, with a 70k taxi they are scrapping it in 14 years, going down to 10 every year, its a lot of dough to shell out for something they wont let you use in 10 years! Even train fares if you get a crap job in the city(cleaning or something other than banking obvs), once you take fares out theres not a lot left, you really need to work local if poss in a crap job.
