    Nothing will change regarding benefits on a major scale.

    You can post any rubbish source you like.

    Millions claim benefit.

    Rightly so?

    lol just shows your character doesnt it.

    So every child benefit, JSA, HB and so on deserve what's coming?

    Feel sorry for you.

    The majority will care when, not if, but when it is their turn to benefits.

    I couldn't care about for the yanks.

    I will believe it when I see it.

    What did people do before they got fixed on benefits may I ask? They got off their bony, underfed @rses and worked is what. Doing jobs that paid the bills.

    More people in employment, creates more jobs.

    It's a service industry. The more people working, the more people you need to service the people working ;)

    So jobs in themselves, create jobs. The "there is no jobs" thing is just a convinient excuse right now. The unemployed figures surged upwards in a boom....when there were PLENTY of jobs.

    Cheers for your post.

    I disagree with that in bold right now though. The youth in Ashford is a prime example of frustration, even for those looking for low jobs. e.g building site work, 'cleaning'.

    Plenty of jobs is a myth I have to say. I myself looked for 8 months and found nothing, zilch.

    No longer unemployed but thats a certain fact from my own experience.

    I get the feeling that things are beginning to change.
    Heard talk from some tory about turn down 3 jobs and dole will be withdrawn.
    Bring it on and then there will be more available for the truly needy.

    you cant put ppl in jobs they wont like, they will simply quit, plus waste employers time/money.

    No doubt the tories will play on this act by saying 'look at us were cuttign down unemployed.

    What they are really doing is screwing the unemployed by offering crap/wrong jobs to the wrong people.

    Bring it on indeed because it will not 'wash' as they say.
