It is quite clear that prison doesnt work, hence the prison system is overflowing and the governments lack of investment towards improvement. The only way you could get prisoners to work is to do something such as whip them or beat them when they disobey. Otherwise, how are you actually going to force those prisoners who refuse to work? Do we really want to revert back to mistreatment of people or is there another way? I dont know the answer to that one but I know that because prisons are full many criminals are given lighter non custodial sentences, or short custodial sentences to ease the prison burden. That is no good for any of us.

I think more and more people in this country do not vote simply because they feel that politicians are out for themselves aqnd so it doesnt matter to them which party is elected. With this great mistrust in mind, their needs to be a new system, or people HAVE to get more involved as opposed to sticking an X on sheet of paper every so often to choose their dummy leader. Ive said it often on here, I find it stupid that it is the law you have to fill in your census forms when they come round every 10 years, yet it isn't law for people to vote. Perhaps if it was politicians might work a bit harder to win your vote. Or perhaps not, perhaps voting is all fixed? You see, no trust in the system!

At the last census I did not return my form and I had someone come round, knock on my door and deliver another one. They told me it was illegal if I didnt fill it in. Although I have never heard of a case of anybody being prosecuted for not doing it

Random....
I don't go into supermarkets much anymore. The last time I did a weekly shop in a large supermarket it was easter. I get all my shopping delivered now, it costs £3.50 for them to deliver it to me Tuesday night when I get home from work. Call me lazy if you want, but I find supermarkets undignified. Have you noticed the growing number of self service tills in supermarkets? those tills are taking jobs away from people, thus saving the big corporate supermarket more money in costs so they can maximize you for profits. They put one person in charge of like 4 or 6 self service tills and save a packet.

Anyway, I just wanted to have a bit of a rant about that. I stay away from supermarkets now because they seem to just herd everyone in like sheep and we all walk around them in the same zig zag route along the aisles, avoiding each other in case we upset someone and cause a trolley rage incident LOL

Yeah I hate supermarkets

actually just thought, if everyone works or does volunteering to earn benefit, their wont be any proper jobs available anymore, we will all be sold out to the cheap labour of benefit claimants lol

I am employed by the local council....but don't hold it against me
