INTERVIEWER Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Exactly. People on job seekers who are not seeking a job are thieving scum, nothing more. What about those job seekers who do seek work - but are punished because an employer feels it is easier and less time consuming to state that no application for a particular job vacancy has been made? Rather than spend time and money searching their systems for the evidence, they prefer to inform the job centre that no application was made, it's much less bother. So now we have private companies deciding which job seekers should have their benefits removed (for up to six months) under Tory/Lib Dem policy. The only real "thieving scum" are the Tories and their Lib Dem allies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is fact that if you're claiming job seekers and not seeking work you ARE stealing, there's no question about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_dave Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Not just unemployed...vulnerable. It's the mind set of a predator isn't it? I've no idea how the opinion that people should work for their money is predatory, but you're entitled to your opinions as I am mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INTERVIEWER Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Every private business that informs Jobcentre Plus that no application for a job has been made by a job seeker must face a boycott. They are working hand in glove with the government to remove benefits from the poorest people in society. We must hold demonstrations outside their premises, and write to, and telephone, their customers and suppliers informing them that they participate in a scheme that treats the poor as less than human. The anger is growing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a person is unemployed he/she is vulnerable. To advocate any measure of sanction in the face on this vulnerability is an abusive act, and ignores inalienable human dignity. QED it is a predatory action. Not only this, it is the government adding humiliation to the burden of poverty and calling it "personal responsibility". Here’s an idea, since they are so big on “accountability” and “responsibility”. How's about they try taking some, and make their” chums” in the banking sector "responsible" for the disaster their negligent financial practises have resulted in? But we all know that this isn’t the kind of responsibility they mean. They mean revving the countries idiots into a state of frenzy so they can scapegoat those who have least power. They are cowardly amoral bullies whose real agenda would make Machiavelli blush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INTERVIEWER Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I'm sure this will be a fun activity for you. It's not about fun. It's about justice. Any employer that informs upon a job seeker as not applying for a job so that a sanction can be imposed should be put out of business. By any means necessary.

I am referring to the long-term unemployed, who are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they'll regret it in the long run. And they'll have only themselves to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
