If you can believe it, Simon Cowell is pushing for the Conservatives. I was blown away by that. He says it's just too difficult in the UK to start your own business. There are way too many hoops to jump thru.
I've been reading about Simon's remarks. Very interesting. But no different than American celebrities that voice their views.
For me the economy & benefits system. We hand out to much money to people who can't be bothered to work & yes there are many.
I'll tell you what then, stuff them and let them turn to crime instead.
Social inequality leads to crime, you only have to look and the difference between us in the UK and these guys over here in the US. The US have much stricter and harsher punishments and judicial system yet much worse crime when it comes to serious crimes. The difference is social inequality.
Added to this it is percieved that we give too much out to people who cant be bothered however most of the so called benefits culture is handed out to people who are working but having their wages topped up because they are on incredibly poor wages. Therefore the problem is the wages they are earning relative to the massive rise in cost of living over the last decade or so.
I haven't got a problem with people who are getting money to top up their wages. Its the likes of the people who are in the paper, a fine example of one yesterday is a father of 7 who hasn't worked for the last 11 years due to aminor reason & get £20K in handouts ( more then what I earn!), he drinks all day & has to be pick up off the streets by his wife as he is drunk. He is laughing basically.
I'm not saying people aren't entitled to handouts but there needs to be an overhaul on the way its done. A fairer way needs to be found, to make sure the right people get the money & we get people back to work, we make it too easy for people.

I am interested in knowing if anyone knows this is happening today here in the UK
Its our general election to choose the government (we dont pick a Prime Minister - the party does that).
Its going to be very close, either we will have a Conservative government (first time in 13 years) or a hung parliament where no party has an overall majority - we haven't had one of these in over 30 years!
