The mess labour is in I’d say nothing for about twenty years.

The fact is that as we get older our body appears to lose some of its elasticity.
It’s not about talking, it’s about training with equipment.
That all changed with the introduction of
the “Check Mii Out” channel. Corn is among the
more well-liked sources of this nutrient, with soybeans.

This whole in-work’ benefits lark is bacalisly subsiding corporations. The bonkers cost of housing is causing me to not be that thrilled at the average minimum wage job that Working Links tried to get me to do. I have had enough of being treated like some indentured slave, thankful to have a job, despite it paying pocket money once all other expenditure is paid out. I have never claimed benefits whilst in work, as it seems wrong. What is the point in having a full time job if you can’t afford to live on what you are paid? No future. Today: me. Tomorrow: you!

This is great. My one quibble is it doesn’t show that we think Ed is wrong to say that some dilebsad people could work but don’t want to. It’s a difficult thing to do, trying to show the nuance without the details that might confuse the issue, but I do wish that point had come through.Still, it’s important the message is accessible to everyone, even at the cost of some nuance being lost.
