    nothing wrong with that at all. i'm on about the spongers who never work. there's no reason to be out of work for as long as some are. it's a joke. give them a time limit then f*** them off the system.

    welcome and don't forget to visit the politics forum, im sure you will enjoy yourself there :rolleyes:

    Sad that the BBC has decided to jump on the 'benefit claimants are all scroungers' bandwagon as it rolls on by. I might've expected better at one time.

    The university graduate could get a job if he really wanted too he just wants a certain job. Sometimes in life you have to take the crap jobs till a better one comes along.
    Especially as I've now seen him standing up the working woman, he has no sympathy at all from me. One of these people who moan that it's all someone else's fault without looking at his own actions and seeing what he can actually do about it.

    For me , its not necessarily people on benefits, because I am proud that my country looks after people who are disabled etc,,, its the people that take the piss that really annoy me, the people we are seeing tonight need their benefits taken off them,,,i don't know how they claim it
    You are definitely rhum and that's what makes me so angry too. I am more than happy to support those genuinely in need.

    Exactly. It's something to put on your CV and it shows prospective employers that you're not afraid of work, even if it's work you're massively over qualified for.

    You try even getting a dead end job.

    1.Employers dont hire university graduates to pack fish or clean toilets because they KNOW the second they get a sniff of something better they will be off.

    2.Where are all these dead end cleaning jobs that us British arnt willing to do? I check the job centre online website regularly and I see none of these jobs that require no qualifications.

    OK, have a couple of proper scroungers but they could have shown some really genuine claimants. But then again, what would we all class as a genuine claimant?

    No-one mentioned about going off to do educational courses while they're unemployed.

    I agree. This program with its 4 unrepresentative case-studies is a disgrace.

    He might find another illness soon "just in case". I despair :(

    No one is going to touch someone who has been unemployed for 20 years with a 30ft barge pole in this climate.

    They meant to start at 9. He's late. Great thing to show to a perspective employer

    This whole thing reminds me of George Carlin's speech about how those at the top want the rest of us to keep fighting with one another so that they can keep on going to the bank.

    *Puts hand up* I'm a genuine claimant for the disability benefits.. Although if someone saw me they would disagree with me, but unfortunately mental health has other ideas..lol
