  • All these programme's do not work ive been on 4 programme's to which they all failed to show their support at the end of the day its only if the person is willing to goto work that they will actually go out and get work, this benefit system is a joke always using the media to say how well they are doing yet fact is ive been unemployed now for 2 years and these people and government just don't want to help, all they want to do is put the cost of living up and force more people out of work.

  • @paltalk1000 Give them to employers in the way of workers that the employers don't have to pay or treat with respect. Why bother to give them paid contracted work when you can get them to do it for free? And have them work alongside other groups of workers who don't know their rights and are scared to open their mouths for fear of losing their jobs and work twice or three times harder than any other group because of that.

  • Job sharing is the only way to go, you have people doing 50 or more hours a week with no time to themselves but loads of cash. You have others with loads of time but no cash. You have to get away from the idea that people like to stay on benefits, there are a few that do but most don't. What you need to do is create a deal where greedy landlords pay back to society & hire people to clean up and repair the rented hovels. They are well paid, leaching off the POOR & UNEMPLOYED via housing benefits.

  • WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH THEM THEN!!!!!
