Could you try this?

I even put in a postcode to determine the area.
I also know that the industry relevant website that I have used in the past can determine location.
It seems that you can define by area rather than simply going in and looking at boards of jobs:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach.

i don't think this is true - if you're non-english speaking you're not going to have a clue who to vote for. you don't read newspapers, you don't understand English speaking TV or the X-Factor style Election debates and you definetly won't be interested in Party Political broadcasts.I think you can. Its quite simple. Cultural differences. Oh, and a Labour government that loved to buy votes off workshy non-english speakers.0 -

You vote for whoever gives you the money to remain bone idle sat on your @rse and also send the money back home.
Anyone not being able to speak english (in England) shouldnt be eligible to ANY benefit as they are unemployable.0 -

Its quite simple. They vote for who pays the cash.
I dont think you need to speak english to pick up from your local elders that voting Conservative is going to be bad for your easy way of life. You dont understand the culture. They will vote for who they are told to vote.
Why do you think LAbours core vote is inner city?0 -
They don't seem to work right, they're a bit confusing, the choices are limited... and they don't tell you what's where as a global picture. It's just filtering, based on yes/no answers.KittyPryde wrote: »
P.S. The machines at the job centre have jobs listed country-wide. You just put in the job you are looking for ie engineer and country-wide jobs come up unless you specify your postcode and how many miles outside of it you are willing to look for work.
The online version's a shocker. Put in your town and it'll find 2 jobs, then a random bunch from 300-400 miles away that aren't relevant.
I don't go into Job Centres.0 -

That applies to Brits too. Have you noticed how poorly a lot of people speak these days? Odd/incomprehensible accents, odd gesturing, text speak..... it's no wonder a lot aren't in employment.

They need to understand that if you can't sit upright, dress yourself and speak coherently then you'll be overlooked for every job in favour of the person who can speak/sit up straight/dress themselves.0 -
This is what I am planning on doing once I am made redundant - where is the best place to find out tips for maximising ctc/wtfc and other benefits? Unfortunately it looks like a non-starter for the current tax year as I have already earned too much to qualify but for next year it looks ideal for spending time with the family and having a nice income.Silverbull wrote: »When you say benefit wasters it doesn't only mean those on JSA. Most of these families aren't on JSA but instead working tax credit.
The difference of money they get between JSA and WTC is very little. Just because they are officially not unemployed doesn't mean they are not benefit wasters.
Most of these waters with kids say they are self employed but making a loss with their ebay business. Thats because they are buying all the latest DVDs and video games and selling them when they want newer ones.I think....0 -
is this what all of these non-english speaking voters do then?chewmylegoff wrote: »they ask the unemployed person originally from the same country who lives next door.0
