    They're talking about nuclear power now. Are the government planning on wiping out all the people on the dole?

    If you're doling it like me you ought to already be shopping in the likes of Tesco. Also btard I'd take employment from her if she was offering.

    Is she a lunatic?

    Take away the social welfare and watch the crime rate jump over night 500% Not to mention riots. I know we slag ourselves saying how we dont protest much against things... but take away the dole and yeah. riots.

    Aldi is better than Tesco all of the time whether you're on the dole or not. The fruit and meat in tesco looks like a science experiment.

    If the dole is cut you'll shop where you always shop, it's not like you're gonna make an effort to save 20cent on a bag of carrots, you'll just have to just have to cut down on the scratch cards and magazines.

    Take away the dole and hopefully we lose a whole lot of useless plonkers due to migration.

    Being on the dole competes with min wage jobs so she has a point.

    She has got a point, cutting the dole will increase competetivness but you can't just cut it right away...

    Scrap the dole and watch the minimum wage drop.

    Fairly obvious really. Handy enough to get your windscreen cleaned in Johannesburg for five cents. You wouldn't walk down the street there though.

    Ironically, Tesco's have security guards etc.

    Most small businesses, grocers, drapers, electrical shops, don't.

    If the dole is cut drastically/gotten rid of, guess who desperate people will begin to steal from???

    Why do you think an employer is suggesting it?
