Bonzo77 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 i think with most of these government schemes theres one way of saying how it works and one how it actually works i think generally there is a bit of coertion, otherwise they WOULDNT get these layabouts to work and their ideas fall flat Were they ALL layabouts? Every one of them? Or are you just using generalisations? I would like to know the situations of the individuals and the terms they were presented with. Can you imagine the stress of being unemploied, long term, pulling your hair out looking for suitable employment, then you get told you are spending the bank holiday in smoggy London, against your will?!? A loophole to slavery, that's all it is!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenia Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 maybe a lot of em are looking for work, dying to work and couldve done with "real" paid work instead of being humiliated with a charade? And this is a positive step in them obtaining the qualifications necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenia Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Rubbish. The long term jobless don't need to be made into slaves! Why not? it worked years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Didn't you also say So what are they? Layabouts or looking for work? Were they ALL layabouts? Every one of them? Or are you just using generalisations? sigh NO i used layabouts as a term BECAUSE there is some unemployed that want to work and WE ALL KNOW theres some that use the system so they dont have to work (layabouts) both posts were about different sets of the unemployed generally these types of scheme are aimed at the layabouts, the ones that dont or wont work the ones that want to work generally do go looking for work and in a lot of cases DO find work themselves. but im pretty sure the interview process for this scheme didnt include the question "do you actually want to work?"

AJ sheffield Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Anything for the Royals, in fact I would have even accepted sacrifices of the unemployed for the titillation of her majesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Would you have been happy to do this for just your benefit money Rich? 2 things: I do not live in London, and despite the rantings of the Daily Fail readers on here, I am entitled to every penny the government gives me, as I have disabilities which according to government Doctors, render me too disabled to work.

Goon Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 2 things: I do not live in London, and despite the rantings of the Daily Fail readers on here, I am entitled to every penny the government gives me, as I have disabilities which according to government Doctors, render me too disabled to work. Do you see? 2 things: None of these people live in London, they were bussed in from other cities. I am not disputing your entitlement to any benefits, neither am I disputing the entitlement of any of the persons involved. I am merely asking a question of you. I shall ask again: Would you have been happy to do this for just your benefit money Rich? Do you see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
