I'm afraid you've done it all by yourself - we're too busy cooking sausages to be putting ghosts in the machine on a Friday morning. Anyway why is DanB at your house?
Sorry.. I wasnt mocking you.. Just feeling a little bit whimsical today.. I do agree with what you are saying.
Having spent the summer working in a college I have become even more cynical as to the state of our country's benefit system.. Everyone seems to want something for nothing and seeing themselves as being entitled to it; for example someone being on jobseekers allowance since 2003 (I don't see how you can't find a job within 3 years), People claiming disability allowance yet when asked what is wrong saying that they are fine.. I understand that people struggle from time to time but living on benefits shouldn't be a career.. In my eyes if you don't put in you shouldn't get out.
Oh yeah there is no incentive at all.. all you need to do is apply for jobs that you have no hope in hells chance of getting and you are laughing.. Apparently someone told me that if you are unsuccessful getting a job in this country after a while you are allowed to live abroad to find work and the government will pay you your JSA and help with your accommodation costs.. Not sure if that is true or not anymore.. But it wouldnt surprise me
