Most would be replaced I'd have thought. As far as being self-sufficient goes that's rather the point. The UK Uncut crew seem to consider self-sufficiency a swear word.

Not really although taxes are very high. The money to 'look after' you along with all the union men marching today has to come from somewhere after all and however besmirched they may feel it's not the 'working man' that pays the bills.

You ask the job centres for a grant to get to interviews and use the phone, they say - ask friends or neighbours.

This of course makes no sense. If the wages aren't going up then the costs of doing business are being held down by this. Deflation of wages is how Germany and other places became so internationally competitive. It's precisely those wages not going up that will price Britain back in.
You totally confuse the costs of doing business with the costs of living. They are far from one and the same although they share some common features. For most companies the largest cost is staff. Businesses don't suddenly become more profitable and drop their costs right down by paying a shedload more money to 'the workers'. Quite the opposite.

No idea but wouldn't surprise, agencies advertise all over.
