judge2010 196 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 if people have been claiming jobseekers for over 6months do you think they should be made to do work in the community i.e. litter picking,painting, cutting the grass etc? I think it would be a good idea. Community service because they haven't got a job? How about training them up in something that suits them, that'd be better don't you think? yeah because the country has loads of money to do that. At a guess there 2.5 million unemployed people in the UK at present and how much is the average training course? How long should these courses last for? Nice idea but not very realistic in the currant finanacial climate. i know what your saying judge,but f**k that going picking up rubbish just cause you happen to be out of a job.you shopuldnt be punished for that I know a few people who aren't bagheads but scummy twats none the less who have no intention of working yet walk around in designer clothes, drive around in cars and have top of the range mobile phones but yet they only recive £130 every two weeks. Theres nothing more i'd like to see them those c**ts doing a days graft it would kill them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baw 4,360 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 if people have been claiming jobseekers for over 6months do you think they should be made to do work in the community i.e. litter picking,painting, cutting the grass etc? I think it would be a good idea. But the argument would be, you'd be putting folk who do those jobs out of a job. I would have them in a big room checking mps accounts, going over expense receipts, etc etc.... true.. but they need to give us out of work something..myself f*****g hate doing f**k all all day my self think we should be put on some sort of course,ie something what will help us get back in to work,building work and alike Why don't you become self employed? There are grants etc to help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You know so these people can eventually have a career in something rather than just throwing them into positions they're going to hate and wont stick out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lab 10,979 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Getting the balance correct is the difficult part. I think we all know the piss-heads that drink everyday and claim every benefit under the sun and saunter threw life without a care in the word. Its these c**ts that need the short sharp boot up the arse and told they'll work or starve. You can hardly put them in the same boat as someone who's grafted since they left school and just happened to lose there job after 20 years. Never really bothered me until 3 years ago until my mum took very ill and nearly died. The struggle she has gone through to get help with some benefits is nothing but a joke. She has had to go back to work to make ends meet but suffers everyday with pain and is constantly on pain killers for it...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The get the feeling of doing a hards work and getting rewarded by more pay. And as stated before those who work hard and turn up could end up getting a job in the public sector for the council.

scothunter 12,609 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 lets face it,the country is on its arse and as usual all the cut backs they make always seem to be directed at the people who need it the most.I agree there some lazy b*****ds out there who have no intention of getting a job,but there are many more who need genuine help.

From my point of view tbh why should we? You get those people who either leave school with no qualifications/drop out of uni or college etc then bleat on for ever more about how we owe them training so they can work. Too many people love to play the blame game when sometimes (definately not always) the blame lies entirely with them. This society needs to start taking a greater sense of personal responsibility before we can ever move forwards. FTB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shepp 2,285 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 The problem as I see it is too many think it's a god given right to live off the backs of those who are working. We had a couple of million unemployed right through the time when immigrants were coming in by the thousand and they on the whole found work. All the dole scroungers I know have been on it for the past 10 years at least. Tough times need tough measures! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
