Dead right, Pixie.
My older brother was a joiner. He was doing well until Norman Lamont got his hands on the economy. My brother wound up out of work for 18 months in the 1990s.
He was on and off the dole, scimping and scraping for work, but constantly being undercut by migrants brought in as cheap labour for labour-intensive businesses, especially the big corporates. There was no way to manage his mortgage and living expenses. Nearly all of his savings disappeared.
But at the same time he studied and became a Clerk of the Works. This was a lifesaver.
Over 20 years from retirement, he was wishing those years away so he could make it to retirement and at least feel secure on his pension.
The greed and downright gluttony of some people really disgusts me.
