Also not my problem
Existing in the UK is work
But business groups said more needed to be done to get more people into work amid concerns over the UK’s long-term weak economic growth.
Hmmm. Maybe better pay, better conditions and improvements to our work/life balance could do the trick here…nah it’s the workers who are lazy.
For the vast majority of that group it’s more of a case they are economically restricted. Untreated mental health issues due to our health service, childcare needs that can’t be met if they work. Then being framed to be inactive feels disengenuous to people that would like nothing more than to be healthy happy and properly supported to work.
I don’t think it’s any surprise that we are the second worst for mental health in the world. If the Tories genuinely cared about the economy rather than ideology they’d invest heavily in boosting the mental health sector and making sure we had a good supply of the medication.
They could also stop making everything worse, since that tends to lead to more negative mental health outcomes.
