Yes. A person is put in the work programme and two years later they are out of work and being supported by the governemnt. Why would it be a problem for them to do 26 weeks community work? One of his best ideas I think.0

Not before time in my opinion, too many able bodied people sitting on there asses for years and years getting handouts.
Apart from that there are also lots of people on benefits who are actually wanting to work, for the work, for the motive to get up each day and do something, for their own self esteem
Just so you know Im not tarring every benefit recipient with the same brush.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
If I was David Cameron, I'd have everyone out working. Even single mothers could earn their crust in clothing factory complete with nursery, where childcare would be provided for them. I wish I was David Cameron.0

How long have you been claiming JSA?
This forum is for specific queries on benefits. For a discussion on benefit policy, go to Discussion Time.
As it happens, there is already a thread on this topic (started by me) and of around 100 or so people that have voted, more than twice as many are in agreement with this and want the long term unemployed to undertake community work placements, than disagree.
This is likely to affect no more than 1% of those claiming JSA. Presumably the prospect of 'working' for unemployment benefits is likely to reduce this number further still. I doubt that it will affect more than a few thousand people.

I agree fully. If you've not found a job in 2 years, you've been too fussy.0 -
