The Right Not To Work Or So It Seems

is a cunt.

Punk always made sense to me — I grew up in the ’70s, when the future looked bleak.
That’s why it’s almost laughable that my favorite song, Right to Work by Chelsea, now stands in such contrast to today’s twisted narrative — where avoiding work is practically a badge of honor. If anything, the new mantra seems to be the right not to work.

When I left school, getting an apprenticeship felt like chasing smoke. Same faces, same hopeless crowds at those cattle-call tests. At one, we were told not to be discouraged — over 2,000 applications for 5 jobs. Grim doesn’t cover it.

I finally landed something — barely worth mentioning — and spent the next decade watching every engineering firm I worked for shut down. Redundancy after redundancy.

But I kept going. Claiming £40 a week dole, handing most of it to my mum, standing in line to be treated like a leech — that was all the motivation I needed to keep searching. Not working wasn’t an option. It was survival.

I don’t regret any of it. But I do despair at how far we’ve drifted from honest graft — how work has become optional in the minds of some, and how delusional that belief really is.

  1. I opened the link.

    What a bunch of cunts the Labour Party is.
    The don’t have a clue how to promote themselves.

    What you don’t do is attack or undermine your opposition.
    That just makes you look pathetic, weak and desperate.

    Day one in sales school.
    Never put down your opponents.

    There is no incentive to work in the UK.
    There used to be, but that was in the days when people had some pride.

    What’s the point now when you are probably better off by not working?

    Cut benefits.
    People will soon work if they face the prospect of being hungry and homeless.

  2. What a toilet bowl full of festering, semi-biodegraded shite.
    ‘An ambitious plan to get two million people into work’.

    The reality? One million more scroungers on Universal Credit in the last 13 months.

    Fuck off Labour.

  3. Punk lit a fire under my arse too.
    And influenced the way i think.

    Theres nothing more satisfying than the feeling of honest earned cash on your hip.
    Earning your corn.
    You can hold your head up high.

    Your a man who provides for his family.
    Doesnt go cap in hand to the goverment to put shoes on the kids feet or food in their bellies.
    Self respect.

    To be benefit dependant when able bodied?
    Fuck that.

    These cunts with a
    Bad back, mental health,
    Are unemployable.
    Fit for smoking cannabis and playing computer games but cant get up early and do manual labour.
    Cunts.

  4. Ps
    Dont know if medical science has done a study,
    But being self employed seems to be the cure for ill health.

    Since working for myself ive not had a sick day in over 10 years.

    Do i get a medical research grant?

    • Everyone should be self employed MNC, in the way that they only get paid on results.

      Government arse holes, for instance, get paid for doing fuck all except bumbling from one fuck up to the next.

      In that respect Starmer and his team are no more than benefit scroungers themselves.

      The Labour Party and all politicians can’t be taken seriously when they advocate hard work.

  5. Over a million foreign vermin on universal credit..
    You can’t hate politicians and the civil serpents enough..

    After the next election, whenever that may be. Labour cunts should get 48 hours to pack up and leave, after that them and their families are fair game.

    • I read that the cost of security for past Prime Ministers is now at the highest it’s ever been in the UK.

      That’s because you have had a lot of them recently.
      7 ex-Prime Ministers who need round the clock protection both at home and when they travel abroad.

      I don’t know how many security people are assigned to each Prime Minister, but they had better double the amount for Starmer when you eventually get rid of him.

      • I would not be surprised if one of those poor buggers from Southport who got politically banged up doesn’t have a pop at Starmer….☠️

    • They’ll already be finessing their escape plans Baz. There’s no way any of them will be staying in the cesspit they’re turning the country into.

  6. Recently wanted a quote for a decorator due to the fact I’m fucked for getting up and down 🪜 these days…. first one said ‘i can’t be arsed with getting into that’ after I mentioned I was getting other quotes… second said I can come Tuesday/Wednesday, fine said I …never came….third wanted me to video the job before calling round…4th one got the job after turning up when he said, and quoting a quite reasonable price 👍….no wonder people go out of business… perhaps those three decorators are better being ‘on the dole’ 🤔…..oh and labour are cunts 😁

  7. Elephant in the room.

    Moose Limbs don’t work, they just steal benefits, end of.

    Another thing the enemedia won’t say.

  8. Everyone has the right not to work. None of us work for fun.

    It’s the right to other people’s money that’s the flaw.

    • Imagine how many more millions would be unemployed if we banned left wingers from public sector jobs.
