Unemployment and Dole Leechers.

I think your post is uninformed and funny.We're all aware of the high unemployment rates in this country and the fact that a large number of those claiming the dole are merely leeching with no intention of every actually looking for a job, while the others are genuinely unemployed and can't find work.
Why not take those who do want to work and train them as dole inspectors. They can weed out those who are not seeking employment (and thus not entitled to jobseekers allowance/benefits) and tell them to get f*cked. I suspect they'd do well at the job given they've actually needed the benefits while these scumbags claimed out of laziness, giving them a bad name.
That way you kill two birds with one stone.
What ya think?
Aww. The poor single mother.MadameCholet wrote: »WOW, well that be a TINY bit harsh. I think that levels of intelligence vary, levels of initiative vary, levels of confidence vary!! To be honest, I think it's just part of life that there is always going to be that strata of society (if that is the right word) who are virtually unemployable.
I went to a good school, had my parents supporting me every inch of the way, I have 13 years experience and yet I find myself without work and I know how difficult it is to get back into the workplace! I have actually tried (and I continue to try).
I think the NUMBER one thing the government could do for me would be to have subsidised after school care clubs. If we weren't in a recession and there were actually jobs out there, that would be the thing that would get me back into the workplace.
I would like to see tougher measures brought in to place to prevent fathers from getting out of paying for their children.
They can declare themselves bankrupt, move abroad, be a sahd if they had a new partner, just be self-employed, or even just go on the dole themselves. Their much-maligned single parent x's may be stigmatised for being on benefits, but they at least have a JOB, they are raising children. The amount of these impregnators (you couldn't call them fathers) who skip off without a backward glance leaving their children's mothers to raise them and the state to fund their selfishness.... that needs to be sorted out. YES there are legal procedures to get maintenance, but you can't get blood out of a stone, and often women will be in the position of not being able to afford solicitors but not being eligible for legal aid (if theyhave a job, even a low paid one)
Don't want to get pregnant? Use protection. It's not ****ing rocket science.
Have you had unprotected sex? Get the morning after pill. It's available over the counter these days.
Didn't know that? Have an abortion.
Pro-life? Give the child up for adoption if you don't want it. Plenty of people out there looking to adopt.
With regards to protected sex; yes, there is a chance that your protection of choice may not work, but that's 5% at most.
In your post you blame the "Impregnators". It take two to tango (one if you're from D4, but that's neither here nor there).
It's as much the responsibility of the woman (or egg carrier) as it is the impregnator to take precautions.
I understand the heat of the moment thing. It happens all the time (no, I'm not bragging. I'm a 35 year old virgin), but that's what the morning after pill is for.
If you're an egg carrier who has been irresponsible enough to have unprotected sex with an impregnator, then you really should go and get the morning after pill instead of whining about how some dude who just wanted to score with a chick who wanted to score with a dude who wanted to score with a chick who...
Mutual one night stand is what I'm getting at here.
Take responsibility for your actions instead of blaming the impregnator.Damn you, took the words right out of my mouth!!!!
A simple solution is to check who has been on the dole in receipt of JSA / JSB for the last ten years through the boom when there was an abundance of work going and this would give an idea of those who are really intent on leeching and never getting a job. These are the people who should be sent out to clean the streets, paint public areas or shopfronts, and clean all the beaches and beauty spots around the country etc... and if they refuse just stop their dole.
I cant see any point persecuting those people who have genuinely lost their job in the last few years and who are actually out there every day looking for more work.
There is plenty of community work needs doing that the leeches could be getting on with
People are already employed to do those jobs. They're called council workers.
Not happy with the work done in your area? Contact your local council.
Giz a job.While many are genuinely looking for work there's many who are happy to sit and get 'free' money.
A mate of mine set up interviews for a post with a high profile company and nobody turned up,only one bothered to even contact him(by text) to say they couldn't make it.
I've had the same experience-I booked in a dozen interviews for a job and 2 people turned up,how can unemployed people be so busy that they can't be bothered to even attend interviews?
If you have no intention of looking for work or accepting a job then have your benefits cut.
On the other hand I know highly qualified people who are taking even the most menial jobs just to have some kind of income and a reason to get out of bed in the morning.
Check your inbox. You'll probably have a few people genuinely seeking work.
About 10 times as many.stupidusername wrote: »I'm up for that.
I wonder how many of these threads were around pre-recession. Irony, no?
I'm not joking.
At one point there was at least one a day from the high and mighty tax payers.
They died off for a while when the **** hit the fan and said people had to go and sign on the dole.

If your CV is anything like your post, then I'm not surprised you had trouble finding work.
Allow me to translate this for you:

The British Welfare System did the whole poacher turned gamekeeper in 1991/2/3..you went to sign on one day and were told you were commencing training the following Monday and thereafter you were on surveillance duties!!
It won't surprise me if they do this here...also, those who have lost jobs in recent times are accessing the return on their contributions paid and this lasts for 52 week, it is the provision they have made for the eventuality of finding themselves out of work, the means test kicks in after a year...and you commence actual welfare payments.
And now they have ASBOs. Why do people use the UK as an example for everything when the place is a kip

Speaking for myself only, I look to Britain on these things because history has confirmed to me that if they do it...our Government will eventually follow suit!! I did not, in anyway, suggest it was the right course of action or that I approved, I merely stated it had been done before:rolleyes: Personally, I think you would have to be suited to such work and have some interest in achieving results. Not sure how motivated previous dole recipients who had been press ganged would be tbh!!;)0 -
