In a democracy we are all meant to shoulder the load of government, & the more prominent the office, the greater the intended burden. We are governed by shirkers
it genuinely makes my blood boil how all these fuckers in the senate talk about the founders, the framers—they laud themselves as their rightful heirs. but when they're asked to put their political careers or their lives at risk to defend the constitution, they just surrender without a peep

Hey Keir Starmer here’s those unemployed shirkers you keep going on about

After the war, the allies dismantled the Nazi monument and the city built this monument to the shirkers… gold cobblestones representing folks who resisted.

To be fair it isn't just pensioners. They are also after the disabled, us shirkers already on benefits, the young and immigrants.

2. After all, the ground has already been prepared on both sides of the Atlantic, as people with disabilities are accused of being workshy shirkers and subjected to brutal regimes of assessment and coercion. A target has already been put on their backs.

Exactly, bloody shirkers.

Stephen Kinnock is lying. People don't lose PIP when they get a job, its not an out of work benefit & plenty of people on PIP work

Kinnock knows this. What he's doing is part of a wider govt strategy to paint disabled people as shirkers & scroungers stealing from working people

Rolling a chair out of the Shirkers and posing it for a photo doesn't count

It's not the only reason to oppose the language of takers and shirkers and all that, but people have been warning with good reason: when you establish the existence of a subclass of despised, worthless people it's acceptable to hate and abuse, everyone ends up in there eventually.
The “Labour” Party finds itself arguing ordinary workers, carers and others are “takers”.
Hey everyone, here's the news, if you aren't a high earner, entrepreneur or a "skilled frontline worker" (whatever the fuck that means) the "Labour" Party says you aren't contributing, you're a taker!

Who are the real shirkers and scroungers?
Half a fecking billion of our money for one family while public services are in crisis, n NHS n many Councils on the brink. Enough! #Monarch #WeCanNoLongerAffordThem #ukpolitics

Today is my foodbank day. It will surprise The Daily Mail that many of our clients are in work, important work.
They are strivers not shirkers.

Surely yours count as severe enough disabilities, they say

No, I shake my head sadly. Hardly anyone counts. We’re all shirkers to them

Mainly about making sure he puts cyclists in their place, I imagine. Put those holier-than-thou car-shirkers back where they belong.

And nobody is to blame, except maybe for lazy young people and various other enemies and shirkers

Our young people aren’t shirkers or snowflakes - they were failed by government policy. That changes now | Pat McFadden

The number of ‘neets’ is skyrocketing in Britain, another Tory failure. Labour’s plans for apprenticeships and training funds will turn this around, says secretary of state for work and pensions Pat McFadden

we're doing the shirkers and malingerers thing again, are we? after a massively disabling pandemic, that's what we're doing on a government level? nice one

Its not that Labour politicians don't understand the benefits they're cutting. They do. When they imply or claim that PIP is an out of work benefit its not a mistake but part of a wider govt strategy to paint disabled people as shirkers & scroungers separate to, & stealing money from, working people

Similar bad maths on display with the WFH story, in which we learn broadband traffic dips by 8% on a Friday afternoon, supposedly showing a bunch of shirkers, but later learn that 30% of firms allow an early Friday finish in summer
16% of the UK population was born overseas (21/22 census)
12% of UK prisoners were born overseas
Therefore people born overseas are less likely to be in jail than people born in the UK.
That should be the headline.

Listen she's either part of the crew or she isn't

No shirkers

The "Strivers v shirkers" narrative. Umm, where have we heard that before?
February 1, 2025 at 12:35 PM
I love that passage, because so many Economists simply refuse to believe that *Adam Smith* didn't think that hard work & getting on in the world wouldn't make you happier.

(Also, that when George Osborne talked of "strivers" vs "shirkers" it's good to remember Smith's sympathy for the shirkers.)
