To pour further boiling oil on the raging waters around education ! EMA, I was never paid to go to school & I'm pretty sure a lot of people on here weren't so why is EMA supposedly seen as so important ?It was introduced around 2003/4 although a pilot had been running since 1999. Was the true reason a cynical ploy by powers that be to manipulate unemployment figures & further the dependency culture ? While at the same time sowing the seeds for future party militants & "Their rights!" ?
Now the threat of it being cut has raised the heads of these mini militants in the form of protest action ! Er, aren't they supposed to be at school/college getting their education today ? Or is it because a few have come to see it as a handout/pocket money from the state & their right to do as they please with ? Some of the students questioned have admitted as much !
Generally curious as to peoples views ! Especially any in receipt of such largess & what it means to them. (Honestly)
