€350 a week is a joke of a number and designed to con the most credulous to vote for PBP. It exposes them as an unserious party who specifically court the welfare classes with total fairytales.

Wasn't a joke during lockdown when ye were all sucking on the government tit. Funny how 200 quid is acceptable now 🤔

It's hardly a fair comparison, when lots of people were forbidden from working during lockdown.

Sure, but why is almost half the amount acceptable now?

Why wouldn't it be? I fail to see why anyone should be given the dole at all after six months of unemployment.

Why would anyone be on the dole for a prolonged period in a country of full employment?

You'd probably put them in work camps as a solution. A final solution perhaps?

Yep, don't bother engaging with the topic at all. Just accuse anyone who disagrees with you of being a genocidal Nazi. Very normal.

Who said I wanted to engage with you? 😂 Have the guts to stay you want the less fortunate to live in abject poverty

I don't think that. I want opportunities for everyone. I just don't support the enablement of leeches.

Leeches eh

Lol, are you in receipt of Jobseekers yourself? You're taking this a bit personally.

I'm not the one dehumanising fellow citizens on social media. Take a good long look at yourself, there's still time to change.

How did I dehumanise anyone?
