I'm unemployable :(

Many old people who have worked all their lives, often in jobs they did not like would be very grateful for your £48 a week.

Many sick and disabled people would benefit greatly from having an extra £48 a week.

If you interpret that as right wing you are very selfish and lack self respect, in my opinion, I'm afraid..

The benefit/welfare system was put in place to help people who cannot work not to support people moaning about hard work and finding their dream job.

Funny that....can play football and tennis without issue even wants to coach...yet can't handle a 4 hour shift. Either a troll or just lazy
Sooner or later his parents will get sick of him and kick him out-and his girlfriend will be long gone before then -as he only needs £5 for his phone and nothing else-I guess she'll be off with a man who will actually take her out LOL
If a job is required -go and work in a leisure centre -you never know they might even help you get qualifications too (in coaching not rally driving-I think if you faint under stress rally driving might not be a recommended career somehow !!) once you've proved yourself to be a valuable member of their team. You play football-you understand about being a team player-right ?
My son's 17 -he too has a disability-and is taking A levels-he reckons HE has the disability -the disability doesn't have HIM !! Thank God he isn't like you !!!

well yer im an all or nothing type of person. i've im motivated and doing something i want to do i give 110%. like if im playing football, im not as good as my mates but it gets me so angry and passionate that iplay as if my life depends on it! you'll see me running around everywhere and diving into challenges. although i burn myself out after about an hour and then i go home before i faint again. but if you ask me to do something i hate then i cant force myself to do it. strange really.
no i cant work in leisur centres becasue you need to have a life gaurd badge thing and i cant swim.

im not motivated by money, i have something against capitalism.

You should be ashamed of yourself that you don't contribute to your family's housekeeping out of your JSA; it's not given to you for pocket money you know!

By the way, it's not being right wing to think that people ought to work for a living; you'd get pretty short shrift in a communist country if you sat around doing nothing and expecting other workers to keep you!

And please don't use depression as an excuse or your parents situation as an excuse either. You say how their health affected your opinions etc on things. You know what the problem is, so sort it out and get on with your life. I know plenty of people who would love to work but really are physically incapable of doing so. I've worked since I was 15, did GCSE's and A-Levels, have suffered from severe depression, but battled through some crappy jobs and have never claimed JSA. I do work with young people on a voluntary basis so have a little experience of your kind of attitude... But think about it - we were all young once. We all had to do crummy jobs we didn't like (well, most of us!). You only live once - don't waste your life. Don't become another scrounging scumbag in other words. Get your medical 'issues' sorted out and earn your keep.

This thread illustrates a perfect example of what is wrong with the benefits system.

i do contribure though. not in money, but i clean and tidy the house everyday and put dishes in the dishwasher and put my clothes on the line. so im not as lazy as you make out.
i'd prefer communism because everyone would have the same wage and it be fairer. i dont see why people claiming benefits should be targeted. i get more angry seeing rich people to be honest. what do you think about people who have done nothing all their life and inherit millions off their familys and live luxury lives? surely they must annoy you more than someone claiming a massive £48 a week on JSA?

Have you thought about working form home if you have health issues?

Time to bring in conscription to the armed forces for those unemployed and on benefits for a total of more than a year in any given 3 year period. Plenty of landmines need clearing. That'll sort out peoples depression. Society is getting far to soft on these leeches so they just drag it out bleeding dry those working to get somewhere.

How little you know about depression.

It's not Capitalist to do an honest day's work for an honest day's pay!

OP, any employer will have to allow you time to eat if you have a condition that warrants it. You don't have to worry on that score, it is the law.

Why not ask your parents to employ you as as an au-pair then lol? Don't be so ridiculous - you'd have to do all that and more if you were living on your own, so please don't kid yourself into thinking you're doing them a favour...

And re: the inheriting of millions? I say good luck to them. Their parents / benefactors obviuosly got off their a rs es and worked to get that money. At least they're not scrounging off my taxes...
