The number of people being made redundant in the UK has risen at the fastest rate on record as the economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic continue to bite, with the number of people aged 16-24 in work falling particularly sharply.
Problem is many companies are taking on experienced and highly qualified people to go jobs that are borderline first jobs. It's the trickle down effect. People on the whole age scale are desperate.
It was tough for us in the 80s but we got by and bided out time till we could get on... It became an incredibly creative time.
So why does keep promoting fear propaganda of Covid that will ensure the entire UK will live in despair for decades, with deprivation of liberties from a totalitarian state thrown in for good measure ?
They are not Coronavirus redundancies. They are Lockdown redundancies. An entirely man-made crisis.
Born in the Atlantic sinkhole of Tiny Britain; not Great anymore nor part of EU. Poor people, you're doomed..😵
Shambolic Tory/SNP .ONS England and Wales C19 deaths 59,132 above the five-year average. NRS 5000 + excess deaths in Scotland and 1000 in Northern Ireland. In Scottish Schools 22,821 absences are recorded as 'Covid-19 related'. Super Starmer takes control.
the generation that lived through the 3 day week (1973) and the Thatcher years - no jobs, British industry dying/being killed off didn't break/despair even tho half of us were living in squats and eating roadkill. or does that not count cos it impacted only on the working class?
I was in this age range during the 2008 economic crisis. It sucks, no doubt, but you'll be alright eventually. Probably. Maybe.
working won't solve the shitte this country is in....

Coronavirus-ravaged UK faces £40billion-a-year tax rises just to break evenThe Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said huge tax rises will be needed just to stop the national debt getting bigger - let alone to bring it back down Just get the TAX avoidance loopholes closed, and make people who have family companies like margarethodge who have not paid TAX for years to cough up. Tax the billionaires that’s small change for them 10% on personal allowance and25% basic. Time to make everyone pay. I'd personally be embarrassed if I paid no income tax and concerned I'd be viewed by others as a burden.
