You know things are starting to revert to normal when the social housing / welfare bashing threads are starting to resurface.

Serious deja-vu seeing you show up in yet another of these threads along with PC personified to call it "bashing". Its hardly bashing to expect able people to not live their lives on the dole and to show a good example for the kids they choose to bring into the world. I don't agree with some of the more caustic things that have been said on here but there is a problem with this and you can't just dismiss it by calling it bashing.

You never said that in your original post. How are we supposed to know?

And again, does she live in social housing and stand outside in her pyjamas, or does she live in private rented accommodation and have a job?

She’s living in private rental and has a job but seems to be off sick constantly and has to get sick dole because she is a civil servant and they apparently only get so many sick days in any twelve months. Indeed she rarely dresses and has been known to even bring her bin out in her bra and knickers. Her language is foul and her neighbours are terrified of letting their kids near her

Sounds like she is mentally unwell/unstable which is a whole different kettle of fish.

So the taxpayer enables her habit and her behaviour and she lives happily in the knowledge that somebody will pick up the tab

I don’t believe anyone said they do.

Enjoy the rest of your day off.

Oh fer gawds sake. PJ's are fine around the house, PJ's are fine when self isolating.

It is 9.45 am I am at my desk in my undies, drinking tea and eating breakfast having spent an hour or more working.

Would I go out to the shops like this? Errr... NO! (I wouldn't want to give the slummy mummy brigade a little excitement)

They don’t?

I could say the same about you, showing up on one of these threads with the same old attitude.

Yep, things are definitely reverting back to normal.

I know lot of working people who put on their pyjamas on a Friday evening after work, and don't get dressed in outdoor clothes again until they have to go to work on Monday.

I'm sure you do. :pac:

'Twas funny though.

Cap dole at 55 euro per week.

Social housing should be set at market rental rates, and non working recipients could work off the rent at minimum wage pay for Community Service work.

To each according to their need.
From each according to their ability.

Funny how Irish lefties forget the second line in that mantra.

It should start at 200 or whatever ever its at these days, but reduce the longer ur on it, say anyone on it over a year it ll be down to 55, why punish the genuine people in need of it..

Have you seen the programmes on the British bottom feeders? They get a pittance compared to here. It's a subject that the media wont touch here, unlike every other country!

Looking forward to blowing the thousands I'll have saved here during the lockdown, which will be half a year away minimums, blowing it in Vegas !

You're still going out of ur way pay taxes to the "crown" as you put it rather than your own, this is the stuff being cheered on in this thread says it all really.

When i hear the "my taxes pay for that!" spiel this is the sort of person i envision.

There's always going to be a group in society either unable or unwilling to work.
Rather than come up with a plan to reduce their welfare to 55 euros , maybe have a look at why they are not working.
Have a long term plan to break this inability or unwillingness to work and bear in mind this may very well be a generational problem with the individual seeing no reason to work if their parents, grandparents and peer groups aren't working.

If you drastically reduce an individuals income to 55euros and bear in mind social rents are 15% , potentially you're forcing people into poverty creating more problems.

It is as much to do with the system they are milking as it is about the person... People can work up to 20 hours a week, while still receiving some sort of benefits including Hap to pay for nice apartment and houses that without the help of the tax payer they would not be able to afford.....They know how to milk the system, add in a couple of kids and a father that hides away from his responsibilities and they are having a grand time, this corona period has not affected them one little bit...

Well I don't know the person you mentioned but at first glance I would guess theres a mental health issue going on there. Thats poles apart from people who refuse to work for life for absolutely no reason.

Reverting? No, my attitude on this is constant, as is yours.

Its still not "bashing" though.

Yeah thats the otherside of it, but what are you meant to do if people flat out refuse to work? and blatantly play the system? a line has to be drawn somewhere.

Nothing , you need to address the problem in a broader scale and stop worrying about the individual, you're looking to educate children now with the view of having their grandchildren being educated and working.

I would suspect the way you parent your kids and they parent their kids are vastly different.
Load up on heavy medication at bedtime, have a sleep in the next morning, get yourself up for about 9:30, while your children have been up since 7 feeding themselves watching telly and playing on the iPad santy brought when they were 3, throw a pre made pancake into the microwave at lunch time and feed it to them in front of the telly while you’re all still in your pjs. Feed plenty of treats throughout the day while stuffing your own face with said treats. Throw waffles and chicken nuggets into the oven in the afternoon if you’re feeling productive and if not, take a trip to the chip shop for the second time this week. More treats and chocolate bread for tea, send them to bed in the pjs they were wearing all night, all day and only taken off to put pull up pants on the 5 year old because you can’t be bothered potty training him for night time.

Yeah you're right. That's not parenting..that's making sure the cycle continues.

You would hope reducing the money available got doing nothing would be a reason, if not on this generation but in the next. It doesn't even have to be reducing overall welfare just reducing the amount of "cash" received

That or simply take the kids off people that are awful parents, but that has it's own issues.

Great heading"Pajama ppl"

Shocked, seriously? You must live an exciting life OP.

I really don't know why people still get bothered about this pyjama wearing habit. Who cares?

Mortified for OP that they can't even spell pyjamas. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I actually meant reverting back to threads bashing social housing tenants and
welfare recipients popping back up again because people are getting bored talking about Covid19.

But seeing as you mention it, thanks for confirming that your attitude hasn't changed. I didn't think it had.

As for mine, I don't jump to conclusions about people based on how they're dressed. I don't understand why anyone would go further then their own home in pyjamas, but I wouldn't assume that makes them a bad parent.

I'm guilty of popping out into my front garden to put a bin in the wheelie bin in my jammies. I've even spoken across the wall to my neighbours and opened my front door and taken deliveries in my jammies. But they're nice jammies from La Senza. I'd hate to think someone is going to judge me as a dirty layabout who lies around all day and not looking after my kids because of that.

That's a huge leap, reduce welfare then if the desirable result isn't achieved, remove kids from the family.
Almost as the default position is ultimately remove the kids.

No that would be a last resort of course, and there are multiple levels between the first and second.

It's just disheartening to see kids lives ruined by neglect.
