    'Britons have become so mean that many of us think poor people don’t deserve leisure time'

    https://www.theguardian.com/comm…

    'The survey shows that 76% of Britons believe that everyone should be able to afford their utility bills, while 74% think they should have the means to eat a balanced diet – in effect, meaning that around a quarter of the public believe that people on out-of-work benefits shouldn’t be able to have electricity or a full complement of vitamins.

    Things get particularly interesting when respondents were asked about “non-essentials”. Only 60% think seasonal celebrations should be attainable for all, while 55% think everyone should be able to afford a television.

    Just 39% thought everyone – the wealthiest, average earners, those on the minimum wage, and benefits claimants – should be able to pursue a non-active hobby, with only 27% believing those on any income should have the chance to go out socialising.'

    • You're right, shape. If you're to be taken as an example, people are even worse in reality than this survey would suggest.Continuity
    • I'm sure some Tory government MP (and maybe even Shape) said that the internet was a luxury and people need to cut costs to manage their financesIanbolton
    • I remeber reading comments on a video about a severely disabled woman who'd bought non store brand butter and some wine. She was struggling finacially...PhanLo
    • ... and cunts were saying she should have bought the cheaper marge and gone without the booze. Her life was brutal and folk wanted to stick the boot in.PhanLo
    • It's mad that folk are saying to people that their life should be even shitter. What sort of worst cunt would you have to be?PhanLo
    • I think the cunt would be a retainer, who's wishing a worse life upon a brexit voter, and that cunt would be me, lol.shapesalad

    • The Brexit thing is a self inflicted wound, we're all suffering because of it sadly, it's fucked the industry I'm in, defo less work around.PhanLo
