Where does the word POSH come from

 
 
 

independent (2012)

 
 
According to Oxforddictionaries (2013) said:"The story goes that the more well-to-do passengers on ships travelling between England and India used to have POSH written against their bookings, standing for 'Port Out, Starboard Home' (indicating the more desirable cabins, on the shady side of the ship). Unfortunately, this story did not make its appearance until the 1930s, by which time the term had already been in use for some twenty years. Added to this, the word does not appear to have been recorded in the form 'P.O.S.H.', which would be expected if it had started life as an abbreviation" Therefore, this word is a negative word. If someone was described by this word, it means who is very bad guy. I do not like this type of people.

Welfare

Welfarereformuk(2013)

1.How many families are dependent on benefits?
Accoding to Telegraph(2007) stated that one third of homes dependent on benefits, and offiical government figures showed that more than seven million households are getting most of their income from government handouts.


2.What are the reasons for this?
the main reason is economic crisis, which lead to the UK governemnt not have enough money to afford the high social welfare. Other important reason is, the benefits was made homeless people lazy, who do not want to work any more. 



3.What is the opinion of the government?

The UK government think change the UK's benefits system are fair,that can restructuring the culture so "people find work always pays". However, Some churches, charities and campaign groups, as well as the Labour Party, have criticised the changes as unjust.


4.How to get the welfare?
According to Guardian (2013) said"What it shows is that the Department for Welfare and Pensions is the biggest spending department in the UK - spending £166.98bn in 2011-12, which is Of that huge sum, £159bn was spent on benefits - an increase of 1.1% on the previous year. That is 23% of all public spending.

Ask people where that money goes and the assumptions might be on unemployment or incapacity benefit. In fact, 47% of UK benefit spending goes on state pensions of £74.22bn a year, more than the £48.2bn the UK spends on servicing its debt.

It's followed by housing benefit of £16.94bn (+5.2%) and Disability living allowance of £12.57bn (+3.3%). Jobseekers' allowance is actually one of the smaller benefits - £4.91bn in 2011-12, an increase of 7.6% on the previous yea".
