Yay, more dole bashing.
Lets hope they give some good advice on how to get your benefits.
So is it an investigation into the Jobcentre Plus or Dole Cheats?

Reporter Morland Sanders investigates Jobcentre Plus, the organisation tasked with getting Britain back to work and cracking down on dole cheats. With the help of jobseekers, undercover filming and a former insider, the programme reveals the shirkers' tricks that make it easy to cheat the system.

I wonder how much the blond actress in the promo was paid to say 'yes'?
Good timing also with the Job Center staff on strike today.
Starring the entire CH4/BBC executive level.
yes so am i.. sick of people [the media] picking on easy targets like the sick and disabled people. not all people out of work are cheats.. they are the minority..
start picking on the rich for a change..and the tax cheats.
And benefits cheats don't cost any of us any money at all.
The strange parallel world that is DS continues to spin.
And narrated by Jimmy Carr.
This will be interesting to see what this refers to in tonights programme. I am intrigued about people putting down on their forms and they're not being checked i.e. a shopping list with Semi skimmed milk as a job hunting activity? This is going to be funny....
I agree with you but it's the cheats they are focusing on not the sick and disabled or genuine cases. Benefits are supposed to support the disadvantaged in our society not provide a lifestyle for those too lazy or devious to support themselves, or as a top-up for an undeclared income.
One of the problem with some benefit claimants it's they tar themselves with the same brush and I don't now why they think that they are being targeted. If the cheats and scroungers were weeded out they'd be less suspicion around genuine claimants.
Yes the advert is confusing.
I'm hoping it will focus on the Job Center workers rather than benefit claimants.
Yes, looks like it IS focusing on the Job Center.
It was a Bank Holiday.
The Job Center boss looks a lot like the woman from Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix.
Yet the Job Center boss says it would have been OK if the company had gotten in touch with them.
:rolleyes:
Yet all the job center staff had to do was get in touch with the company first.
Too many 'Job's Worths' at the job center.
She totally does!!
The Job Centre annoys me - I got offered a job earlier in the summer as a Classroom Assistant, so it doesn't start until the very end of August. I filled this into my JobSeekers book, with the date that I start, and tried to hand it in, but was told I wouldn't be paid right up until I start cos it wasn't for several weeks (Yeah, I'm applying for teaching and schools-based assistant jobs, they don't tend to start til the end of the summer!) so I'd have to keep signing on. So now I have to keep looking for work and filling it into my booklet even though I *have* a job!
I bet she has lots of plates on her walls with cats on them.
I know my local job centre don't have a clue.
It was all true about the Job Center though, the last place you want to go to get a job.
what a total Shambles DWP Job Centre are
It was like a scene from 'The Thick of It'.
