  • @Ephona BUT THIS LADY WORKS U IDIOT.

  • some countries don't even have that

    

  • this government dose understand what they are doing that is the thing they just do not care they can each claim up to £100 a week for their food alone yet expect those on unemployment to survive on £65 a week gas, water rates, electric, food, clothes toiletry's t.v licence and more people are becoming unemployed each day through no fault of their own some even relying on food parcels to survive next they get the public in general to believe they are lazy to get them to approve to what they do

  • @allisokandsweet Did You call 0800-917-2368 or 0845-747-747 though? You have to report them, if they don´t behave right, aspecially if it is state org. There might be ombudsman aspecially for agency workers too, I´ll have a look for number if You want?

  • Carole,

    I don't want to tell you what to do, but get out of the UK if you can. There are several countries that will treat you much better, and give you the opportunity you seek.

  • The government should live a day in the life of these poor souls. They will have something to moan about then !!!!

  • you ae a true champion Carole

  • i work for camden council on brassey rd west side estate NW6 for one month for a agency and didtn't get payed. The agency workers have little or no protection in their work. Ie i worked for camden council with out the right clothes and had to buy my own boots. There needs to be radical changes in legislation. I know what its like to be poor in great britain
