charmer Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 It's disgusting imo, your opinion is obviously different, so we'll have to agree to disagree. Fair enough. I would like to ask you if you would still feel disgusted if the charity wasn't the British Legion, but was to help pedophiles? I imagine your answer will be no, so I will ask the next question straight away. Who should decide which charities are on the "good list" and which aren't?

LeMaquis Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 War hero's benefits axed - because he was selling POPPIES That's more than a bit dishonest. JSA is stopped if someone fails to adhere to the rules. In this case JCP decided he hadn't been doing enough to look for work. The article said he collected for poppies for 24 hours in 2 weeks which begs the question about what he was doing all the rest of the time. It reads like he was sanctioned solely because he wasn't looking for work and the poppy collection is a red herring and irrelevant. If he'd spent the same 24 hours down the pub without looking for work he wouldn't be getting the sympathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megalithic Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Fair enough.

I imagine your answer will be no, so I will ask the next question straight away. Who should decide which charities are on the "good list" and which aren't? The only answer i can offer is what type of person would force this suffering on him when he's obviously doing something for a good cause rather than sat on his arse at home doing nothing ? The morality would be down to the individual case worker?, and i doubt there's many paedo sympathisers working for the DWP?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who should decide which charities are on the "good list" and which aren't? There is no good list. The rule is that he has to look for work. If he doesn't it's irrelevant what else he does. He will be sanctioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This forum is for Sheffielders to voice their thoughts on many topics ,as a hard working tax paying member i object to people i see as free loaders leeching off the rest of us.

Thanks for the lesson ! "Sowing arguments or upsetting people" seems to be the purpose of some people on here. Are you one of them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
