Do Millennials deserve £10K for doing nothing?Totally agree with your sentiments. as Freddy Mercury sang "It's a hard life" or so the younger generation think. We now live in a society of do gooders and political correctness which is actually doing more harm than good.ViewDate:

Do Millennials deserve £10K for doing nothing?I think it is preposterous to even contemplate this idea, but then again the lunatics are running the asylum. To blame this on the so called "Baby Boomers" men and women who died for the betterment of this country, left at a low end and without the financial means worked their socks off to improve the country and their own well-being. What is different now is the complete lack of jobs available to you school, college and university leavers unless you are of the privileged few, but I lay the blame for this at the governments door with a lack of vision and along with businesses encourage greed to the detriment of the people of the UK. I cannot believe that in this day and age, we are still paying what is called the "Minimum / Living Wage" that is exactly the equivalent of what what getting paid as an average salary almost 30 years ago. Who are the winners I hear you ask? well certainly not the majority of the workers in the UK. We have become the cheap labour of the globe, business and government on focus on short to mid-term profit/solutions and to build a stable and future platform has to be that the focus is on the longer term. We should have a business community tax payable by all large scale and multi-national business to be used in the development of the communities for skills, job creation and educational programs etc. I must also say that in some instances parents have basically stopped parenting... we need to instil belief in our children, responsibility, accountability and good manners and start asking where they are at night. I am sorry for rambling on so long, but I get frustrated and annoyed at the country blindly sleepwalking while governments and business blindside us with trivial issues to distract us from what is really happening.
