The low down on the demise of the UK:

Permanant jobs in the UK have decreased 86% since 2000
Temporary jobs have risen 24%
63% of jobs in the area i live in are filled by immigrants both legal and illigal
54% of the people in my area claim state benifits because they cant get a job

I work in refuse and recycling ive been waiting for a full time job in that field with my local council for nearly 2 years, alot of the guys i work along side who are permanent were in my situation for 4 or 5 years before they were allowed to be taken on by the council.

I work for £5.52 an hour i do the standard 5 day 40 hour week if i work a full week sometimes theres only work for 3 or 4 days, on average after tax i take home £163 before tax i get roughly £217 my car insurance a month is £173.11 it goes down in january to £109 a monththe repayment on my loan is £105 a month petrol costs are £120 a month (never had a full tank yet).
On top of that i have to get food for the week i manage by limiting myself to around £20 and most are the cheap microwave meals, im fortunate that i dont have to pay rent and im lucky that ive got an overdraft on my account which at this rate i can never clear.

I cant afford to move out into my own place because the rent for a one bedroom flat is around £600 a month plus council tax of around £1100 a month then the untilaty bills i just couldnt do it.

So my only way out is to sell what ever i can save it in cash not use it and then try and scrape together enough to atleast get a plane ticket to the US i dont mind getting there and sleeping on the streets for a time till i find a job i can cope with that but its better than being here.

Theres little hope in my area for any jobs in the near future house prices are rising fast, prices of petrol and travel on public transport are rising,food prices are rising the cost of utility items are rising also but wages are remaining the same.

there was a guy that said to live in england comftably (southeast region) you must earn around £35,000 a year, i earn around £10,500 a year.

Petrol prices are to go up again next month tax again is set to rise, i just cant afford to live here anymore.
