Yes! This! In reality £8 an hour is not a liveable wage. They need a real living wage, just because somebody works in a shop doesn't mean they don't deserve to comfortably survive!!

Feel sorry for this people they cannot Budget for 1 month and save a bit of money probably never managed anything before need whole culture change... Also the other big problem in UK is people who make UK policies live completely in different planet.
That's exactly what I was wondering. Literally can't figure out how adults are blaming the government and community for their unwillingness to manage funds. I can't figure it out . Like they don't want us to treat them like adults or something.
None of these people are true adults. They look to everyone else for their livelihoods, but never themselves. Obviously the concept of personal responsibility, self sufficiency nor tenacity exists in the UK:
The biggest canard ever presented to the public - sovereignty - is overturned in a moment by reference to this program, and countless others. Hundreds of thousands of people, fully entitled to state support, have been reduced to starvation and in many cases, death, by the very deliberate actions of the UK government. And what did the EU do? Absolutely nothing. They respected the authority of the UK policy makers entirely; they in no way came to the rescue of the multitudes of destitute suffering individuals or families. If they had - which largely was within the scope of the post war legislative environment - they would have been condemned for interference. But no such thing ever happened. And that - for those pushed into horrible and prolonged deaths - was a tragedy.
The biggest joke this universal credit. I cook same for three , fours days. Budget some my self, payment cards for bills, set to pay them as soon I get payed..
Think addicts who put their addiction before essential bills are abusing the food banks from real people in dire situations. Should not be allowed to use it because in long term surely it will encourage them to just spend the benefit on their addiction items??
My British friend having a grocery store as a family business in southern UK complains how difficult is to find a reliable employee, yet these people cry for not having a job.
Exactly .Unfortunately most of them are unemployable . They don't actually want a job. They just want more Benefits / Free Stuff paid for by tax payers.!!
Maybe provide people with some education on budget skills? It is difficult for people who get paid monthly by a job to budget as well if they're not used to it. In the states it has always been paid monthly, interesting that the UK just converted to this in the last few years.
In Holland. We're also getting paid monthly. Some people every four weeks. but here it's common to budget for a month. the people who are on benifits had to be trained before those morrons had rolled out the new system.
Surely a lot of the people here could buy food if they didn't have an expensive habit to support. It can't be a great life, why not get treatment for your addiction?
All the great people that work for nothing every day helping those who have absolutely nothing. Universal Credit clearly,does not work, who dreamed that one up. They look so tired and done in, he had no money for nine weeks, madness, I feel so bad watching this xx
Poor ideas for all this so called Universal Credit system it’s punishment for unemployed people to find work. Shame for whoever put this poor system in place.
Fine I'm being judgy, but perhaps the people that really need it and who it was intended for (the disabled etc.) wouldn't be starving if guys like this had gotten off it BEFORE. Just saying.
@@cyrene7784 the system is wrong not the people there will always be fakers trying to get more than they deserve but universal credit was always intended to help people back into work. That means long term sick or disabled people should not be on it because they cant work and therefore it would be pointless switching them to a system that aids them into work. See my point? Income support and ESA claimants should be allowed to claim housing benefit on the old system if theyre not fit enough to ever work such as those with brain damage etc.
The benefits system is a huge drain on the tax payers purse,it’s not the claimants of benefits who are to blame for the drag on our economy it’s the government for handling out free money.

The UK is going bankrupt. Just like a business that cannot pay its creditors and has to change its payment terms, it is clear that changing from fortnightly to monthly payments is a sure sign that the government is cash-poor. And budgeting advice does not fill empty stomachs.
Most of these people rather get their fix than pay their rent,electric,gas or food they should work for their money instead of given a hand out. Universal credit is paid monthly so is everyone that usually works gets a monthly pay 🤦♂️
Nurses who are still training do not get 22 to 36 k. They used to get a bursary but now it's a loan that has to be paid back. I used to know a student nurse who had to work at Morrisons stacking shelves as well as studying to be a nurse.
It was said that in the end times that this would happen and we can see what jesus has said is all coming true . All these wars and faming and poverty and many many more.
It works perfectly if it does what its designed to do: Bringing the cost of the benefit system down and making it so unattractive that it "encourage" the clients to leave it.
Universal credit isn’t the problem, it’s the fact that people cannot manage their money correctly that is putting them into this situation in the first place
Rents should be paid by the Gov straight to landlords and food vouchers to claimants ,then there will not be homeless on streets or anyone starving.Why not clear waste ground and put mobile homes on them and let people stay there for period of time,untill they have got work and other accomadation.seperate areas for families and single males/females.
A set date is say the first of every month, so payments are adjusted accordingly, it's paid in arrears, people need to budget their money. Use your brain!!
The best one I got was missing a telephone appointment that I was not notified of getting then threatened with loss of claim for not answering the call no appointment was even made by them or me I work agency just getti g temporary positions which means every so often I have to rely on benefits I do see a lot of people that are suffering from universal credit
This is maddness as on one side weaker individuals need a dose of help but parasitical leaches need a kick. The system is not helping anyone so how would this work.
it's about time government stop thinking about brexit,and feed poor instead,..my opinion how can we be born independent,millionaires,got 5 mansion,s ...when homeless got one or none ,it doesn't mek any sence
It’s disgusting as people should have human basic needs I’m sure we all pay enough tax to support this basic needs rule Our tax pays into everything this should be included 🌸
I think universal credit is a good idea, most workers get paid monthly but the problem is, once people are switched from one benefit they should be helped faster than the time its taking now...... Think the targets for sanctions is awful and I'm tired we keep allowing other nations in for work meant for British people and by British I don't mean Mohammad who managed to get a passport after 6 months
It sucks that people need benefits to begin with because it is not the government paying them, it is the taxpayer. However, it is a reality, like it or not. If some help is not offered society falls apart and it will be crappy for everyone. Pay the benefits biweekly, pay the rent portion directly to the landlord. Something has to change because if all that money is being paid out for universal credit but people are still needing food banks and becoming homeless, then what was the point of that money in the first place? It is obvious a wee bit of government babysitting is needed to ensure that benefits go where it is suppose to, and that is largely housing. Why can’t the government just acknowledge this?
How many people on UC though, are buying huge TVs, smoking and drinking these things are expensive. Then complain they have nothing. It’s a similar situation with younger house buyers, who are out clubbing and not saving up for a deposit!
the government tries to teach people how to manage their money, the same way they would if they were working. Those who spend it all on day one and are complaining afterwards should learn from this and be grateful they receive anything at all.
Ignorant uneducated narrow minded person please refer to my other numerous comments explaining the fundamental issues with the system and the views people like yourself hold.
I'm on universal credit, I have a brain tumour and I forget quite a lot, leaving meals forgetting I left them in the microwave, I have been waiting nearly a year now for my appeal for esa,,, I ran out of money and called universal credit to see if they could help with a payment, they said what do I need the money for, I said food, they said they don't issue payments for food only white goods and I would have to visit a food bank, they know I'm not well, they don't give a toss, so on this occasion I told them I needed a fridge and they give me the money this system is stupid
The last time I was on UC, I felt very... unwelcome. The staff are constantly on the defensive, expecting the worst from people. I think people deserve to live comfortably with UC. Here's where things tip in the vein of an opinion that will probably ruffle some feathers... I also saw claimants with the latest Phones, expensive kind, iPhones and the like... as well as bags of clothes from River Island. Brand New Clothes. During my period of unemployment, I made it my mission to shop as cheaply as I could. I almost turned to food banks but thankfully I have very good friends.
Rubber J your not the only one mate I've been looking for work for 5 years but as I have epilepsy and learning difficulties and dyslexia no one will take me on I'm sick of people having ago at me Can't help the way I am
stupid idea to pay housing benefit to the claimant, that's where a lot of the problem lays
Yeah it's a really daft idea.

If your situation changes, your lifestyle has to adapt. Benefits/credits are to help people survive, NOT to support their chosen lifestyle.

Nurses at food banks come on they get 22 to 36 k
colin and what are their rents?
Nurses who are still training do not get 22 to 36 k. They used to get a bursary but now it's a loan that has to be paid back. I used to know a student nurse who had to work at Morrisons stacking shelves as well as studying to be a nurse.
It was said that in the end times that this would happen and we can see what jesus has said is all coming true . All these wars and faming and poverty and many many more.
Bullshit
Universal credit is working perfectly because it encourages people to get jobs?
It works perfectly if it does what its designed to do: Bringing the cost of the benefit system down and making it so unattractive that it "encourage" the clients to leave it.
@@OleLeik exactly Mr No Name
Universal credit isn’t the problem, it’s the fact that people cannot manage their money correctly that is putting them into this situation in the first place
Bullshit
Universal credit is definitely the problem.
Universal credit is the problem.
Rents should be paid by the Gov straight to landlords and food vouchers to claimants ,then there will not be homeless on streets or anyone starving.Why not clear waste ground and put mobile homes on them and let people stay there for period of time,untill they have got work and other accomadation.seperate areas for families and single males/females.
@@margaretfrost8620 yes and we can put them in ragged sack cloth 😂😂😂
Monthly payments on a set date.What about when there's 5 weeks in a month, ? Like now. (March 2019)
A set date is say the first of every month, so payments are adjusted accordingly, it's paid in arrears, people need to budget their money. Use your brain!!

The best one I got was missing a telephone appointment that I was not notified of getting then threatened with loss of claim for not answering the call no appointment was even made by them or me I work agency just getti g temporary positions which means every so often I have to rely on benefits I do see a lot of people that are suffering from universal credit
This is maddness as on one side weaker individuals need a dose of help but parasitical leaches need a kick. The system is not helping anyone so how would this work.
Does no one care that UC is only paying people for 48 weeks of the year and takes interest on any advances
Yeah, I am having a hard time having sympathy. Why r these ppl not working? T
Northern Ireland costs the UK 11 billion every year
Northern Ireland is part of Britain I feel it's unfair to single out one part of the uk
Wow
I work 12 hour shifts including nights, I am taxed to the hilt to pay for a country of entitlement
Totally agree ..they think they are fck untouchable.. welcome to the real fck world
The uks favourite word benefits
My only comment would be let the people that make these rules, live by them for six months, and see how they get on.
This Tory government is insane, as are the bulk of the electorate.
GDP growth is preservation and not feeding uncertainties of poverty and making many poverty stricken.
Greedy housing want what bit i get for rent to be made up and nothing left for any bill or electric
So sad that this is happening in the uk... I hope norway never ever do this.. that being said there are way to many give up people out there
It do, and have been doing it for decades .
I belive its called "social assistance" there
Pay landlord first and half of your problems are off
They make it hard on universal credit so that people that can go out to work
it's about time government stop thinking about brexit,and feed poor instead,..my opinion how can we be born independent,millionaires,got 5 mansion,s ...when homeless got one or none ,it doesn't mek any sence
A job is the last thing these people want no shame
It’s disgusting as people should have human basic needs I’m sure we all pay enough tax to support this basic needs rule
Our tax pays into everything this should be included 🌸
OUR LOCAL FOOD BANK OFFICE USED TO BE TORY MP 'S OFFICE . MORE USE NOW .
I think universal credit is a good idea, most workers get paid monthly but the problem is, once people are switched from one benefit they should be helped faster than the time its taking now...... Think the targets for sanctions is awful and I'm tired we keep allowing other nations in for work meant for British people and by British I don't mean Mohammad who managed to get a passport after 6 months
Uncontrolled immigration of unskilled and usually fake asylum
seekers .? How about fixing that
problem . It's the root of all the others!
It sucks that people need benefits to begin with because it is not the government paying them, it is the taxpayer. However, it is a reality, like it or not. If some help is not offered society falls apart and it will be crappy for everyone. Pay the benefits biweekly, pay the rent portion directly to the landlord. Something has to change because if all that money is being paid out for universal credit but people are still needing food banks and becoming homeless, then what was the point of that money in the first place? It is obvious a wee bit of government babysitting is needed to ensure that benefits go where it is suppose to, and that is largely housing. Why can’t the government just acknowledge this?
How can 2000 food bank be right
I don't like the term Britain on the breadline
Because it IS! And the reason it is is because of the TORIES!!!
A country ready to go bang
How many people on UC though, are buying huge TVs, smoking and drinking these things are expensive. Then complain they have nothing. It’s a similar situation with younger house buyers, who are out clubbing and not saving up for a deposit!
the government tries to teach people how to manage their money, the same way they would if they were working. Those who spend it all on day one and are complaining afterwards should learn from this and be grateful they receive anything at all.
Agreed. Especially when that money is stolen from people who actually work.
So much division but one thing is sure people need a hand up not out only work can help but does it exist for these type of people.
Ignorant uneducated narrow minded person please refer to my other numerous comments explaining the fundamental issues with the system and the views people like yourself hold.
I'm on universal credit, I have a brain tumour and I forget quite a lot, leaving meals forgetting I left them in the microwave, I have been waiting nearly a year now for my appeal for esa,,, I ran out of money and called universal credit to see if they could help with a payment, they said what do I need the money for, I said food, they said they don't issue payments for food only white goods and I would have to visit a food bank, they know I'm not well, they don't give a toss, so on this occasion I told them I needed a fridge and they give me the money this system is stupid
I just want this part of my life to be over and I want to cry.
Try working, just an idea.

Why has switching the benefit lessened the amount of money ppl are getting?
She can afford to smoke thou This government is evil The only wY to get people back to work is in low paid work. through starvation.
The last time I was on UC, I felt very... unwelcome.
The staff are constantly on the defensive, expecting the worst from people.
I think people deserve to live comfortably with UC.
Here's where things tip in the vein of an opinion that will probably ruffle some feathers... I also saw claimants with the latest Phones, expensive kind, iPhones and the like... as well as bags of clothes from River Island.
Brand New Clothes.
During my period of unemployment, I made it my mission to shop as cheaply as I could.
I almost turned to food banks but thankfully I have very good friends.
My experience with the people from universal credit has been positive the have been very friendly and supportive
