    His working whilst on JSA is everybody's business. Who do you think pays for his JSA?

    Him stealing money from the benefit "pot" makes it more difficult for genuine claimants who get stuck with the scrounger label.

    maybe hes on a JSA "work trial" scheme.....

    Looking round I personally think there are far more serious threats to the nations financial health, how much do big institutions pay accountants to come up with tax saving schemes?....

    It's precisely these people that will continue to remain untouched by Government's clamping down on benefits.
