Avoiding "New Deal"

Thank you somebozo for backing up my b***s**t detector.
This poster sums up everything wrong with JSA, he plays the system because he dosnt think he should work like the rest of us.
There are people in this country today who would take any job what so ever just to keep afloat, when the jobs climate improves they can then seek alternative work in there chosen field.

Off topic and not defending ding dong, I just give plain and simple advice / dont judge.
There are many types of client that enter a jc, stereo types i suppose, even though you are not meant to. Everyone has an opinion and entitled to have one, but, I do notice a kind of " we are here to judge" element to posts, when really this forum is about helping / advising, even if people deserve it or not...
Many clients who enter jc, have issues / barriers / attitudes, and the jc doesnt help much at all, even though it does try, it has a lot of limitations and can put people well off, although there are some who do find it useful.
Unless you have actually worked in a jc, and met the different types of client, its very difficult to judge such people without fully understanding their circumstances.
What I am trying to say is dont be to judgemental and stay focussed on advising
Nice words c0113tt3.
Please read all the comments of the OP on this thread and others.
He has a problem with
a)working
b)the government
c)the opposition to the government
d)banks
e)the "system"
f)policemen
g)chavs
Which is all ok. It really is. Opinions are like your !!!. Everyone has one.
At the end of the day, the OP does not want to work and wants everyone else to work to pay for his lifestyle.

When my partner and I were living in a hostel,we were reaching the part on our JSA deal where we would have to attend a group for job-shirkers etc - can't remember what they called it.
Walking past the building a few weeks before this was due to take place we were less than thrilled - the building was crumbling,surrounded by people who were obviously either on or dealing drugs.
Several people in our hostel attended it - people who were a few pieces of gray matter short of a fully functioning homo sapien brain.
Frankly,I see no way something like this could help anyone who went past 2nd year of high school/has a reading age past that of a 5 year old. The most they probably do is teach you how to read,write and add and subtract.
All you do at these things,surely,is what you'd be doing whilst job-hunting anyway? The only difference would be that you'd be doing it surrounded by idiots and being offered cocaine.

Well, it will be no worse than the OPs attempts, as he's been 'job hunting' for over 18 months!0 -
hey bozo, i have big issues myself to gov / system.
But for the evidence you state about ding dong, do you know why that is? how? and what caused such a stance?
Maybe he has some barriers / issues? or a lazy .... , that some people have appeared to judge.
All im saying is that you do not know which it is..... leave that to jc staff to deal with.0 -

Don't forget people who go fox hunting! You missed them out!0 -
Yeah,the OP is clearly a raging !!!!.
It's just that for those generally looking for a job,some of the things they make you do are completely pointless.
Still,if you're taking other peoples taxes for sweet f/a,then at least drag yourself to these things - it won't help,but at least you're not sitting in your house on your !!!! simply scrounging.
And,O/P,is your 'highly specializzizzled field'' by any chance Hulk Hogan?
Are you Hulk Hogan?
Is that it?0 -

What a terrible story Emzycal, even the thought of this bl00dy job club is bringing me out in an anxious rash.
I am not really a morning person either, which does not help.0 -

Maybe he has. Perhaps he is lazy, or has issues. Thats fine, I aint his doc!
He certainly forgets to respond to my posts with valid arguments.

Yes them too.
You have not responded to any of my posts or others. So I will stop now.
I don't like getting into debates with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
