Scrap the dole!

better call saul · 23-08-2014 04:34AM #1

The time has come to scrap the dole, for those on it long term anyway! No more freebies at the expense of the educated people, hard working decent people. Not the cunce who's sky sports and multi room sub is paid for by the folk who get out of bed in the morning. I'm sick busting my balls every day while these wasters longer around drinking cans of Stella at lunchtime

We should petition the government prior to the budget, then scrap usc for us decent folk

I'd have a cut off time of 3 years. Anyone dependent on JSA after 3 years is taking the piss and should absolutely be cut off. And other benefits should be cut gradually after as long as they fail to get work.

We have a situation now where getting our unemployment rate below 10% is going to be seriously difficult because a large cohort of that 10% are more comfortable on welfare than working - even minimum wage.

DrGreenthumb · 23-08-2014 04:40AM

Kermit do you think that would get rib a bit

smellmepower · 23-08-2014 04:42AM

Jobs don't just appear out of nowhere just because you've been on the dole for a few years.

Please explain how a person who has no job and is unable to get a job is meant to survive with no income, or else STFU.

Thanks.

America view us as a Marxist State, Obama and the Democrats are slightly to the right of the British Conservative Party when it comes to such policy.

smellmepower · 23-08-2014 04:48AM

Yes there is plenty of work around the world but it all requires an investment a long term unemployed person may not be able to afford.

Also the world needs unskilled people. If we did not have unskilled workers the economy would be a lot worse off than it is right now.

That is your problem and not anyone else though. Get yourself a job. Any job. It's not as difficult as many seem to think or want everyone else to believe. If you really want a job you could get one.

So just let the unskilled starve?moving overseas requires a decent amount of seed money too,even more-so to if you have a family.

Don't let these real life problems impinge on your idiotic opinions though.

Really?? Jeez I never thought I could get a job if I really wanted! Right!
So dropping my cv in everywhere then getting taken on for days unpaid training in a fricking cafe to then not get the job! Silly me, just not trying hard enough to get anything or something.

I have fecking worked all my life even part time when I was at school so spare me the crap!
You can't get what's not available!

Fortunately for me I'm working on setting up my own business, can't find work? Create it!

Have a read of the jobbridge scandal thread. There was a link yesterday. Our lovely people in charge are now ringing companies with vancanies advertised and asking them to turn real jobs into job bridge positions.

This will only force more people to lose their jobs and claim the dole.

If true what a shambles this country is that they want to take away paid jobs just so they can make their unploymeny numbers look better,

i have no problem with people on the dole i've been there myself, but like many people i have a problem with people that make a lifetime of it, currently i know a good few people getting free housing and its sickening for the people that put in a hard graft only to see these people get it handed to them

What's wrong with selling the Big Issue?surely you'd prefer those feckless unemployed wasters to be out on the streets learning entrepreneurial skills, rather than laying in bed til 2 in the afternoon wasting your precious tax money on frivolous things like food and heat.

I know your probably not desperate but maybe you should be, while abroad things got so bad for me I was about to take a charity job, and you'll laugh when you hear this job, no saftey net of the dole either so once the funds were gone it was me myself and I

basically you set up a bbq outside a supermarket, the charity had a agreement with the supermarket so they would supply the sausages bread ect.. you didnt pay upfront but squared off at the end of the day from the profit,

so you basically sold hot dogs for $2, for every one sold you get 1 dollar and the charity gets $1 thats after all the supplies were paid for,

now never would i have considered ever doing a job like this but desperate times call for desperate measures, so i came home after the unpaid days training if you even wanted to call it that, had a laugh about it with my house mate and he was like are you seriously going to take that job and I said I have no choice need any income i can get, so being the sound bástard he was rang his boss there and then and said if he had anything going and he said bring him in you you tomorrow,

now i had been looking for work for a while prior to this and also asked him to seee of there was anything going but I think he was relucent to ask because you don't want to be responsable for some joker and have it fall back on you, so once he saw that I was commited to do what i condidered to be a ****ty job he put his neck out for me and the rest is history,

i don't really know what the point of this story is other then once people see your commited they will help you out, i'm going to shut up now as i think i wrote a essay rambling on here

Mince Pie · 23-08-2014 05:45AM

That's genius, captive audience but I sure as hell wouldn't be doing it for someone else, especially considering the concept is so simple.

Scrap the dole!
