So that would mean two other people who otherwise would have got those jobs without all the squandering of taxpayers' money gobbled up by these WP 'training' company scammers.

In this case no. Neither role existed prior to the WP companies involvement. They managed to put the candidates to people who hadn't got a formal role - and weren't minded to advertise one either - and the result was great for these people. The friends in question weren't minded to try to create those opportunities themselves and did need the assistance.

I understand you don't like the program - I have my own reservations from some of the other things I've heard about it on here and elsewhere. However it doesn't fail everybody.

Sometimes you're too sensitive.

I wasn't talking about you. I was agreeing with you.

You know what I want most of all? To be able to afford a pay monthly phone and get my own flat. I will use that as motivation.

Can't you get your own flat whilst on jsa? Housing benefit?

So, these mystery employers didn't have a need for staff but decided to employ someone as they'd been asked nicely. They must be saints. And the gods rewarded them by showing that they did need staff after all. Perhaps they're stupid saints.

Just several million more miracles required and we could have full employment again. Like we used to before the misruling class set out to wreck the economy.

It's nothing but the latest incarnation of the ongoing efforts of civil servants and politicians to evade their guilt by blaming the victims of their disastrous and self-serving policies. - A propaganda tool that has some success with the weak minded. On the other hand it creates an ever wider pool of people increasingly inclined to enjoy themselves when the country finishes falling to pieces.

I take it that professing wasn't in statistics or probability either.

I suppose you are right. But then I would struggle to find the money to buy furniture, washing machine, fridge etc.

No excuse

Rent furnished flats.... these days they come with fridge washer couch ...


(and if you struggle with housing benefit and jsa you can also apply for DHP.)

- Which comes in VERY handy

Perhaps you could enlighten us as to where all of these furnished flats can be rented for £52 per week?

It would be very helpful to know as I am currently trapped living in a shared house which is in a terrible state of repair, has no kitchen facilities to speak of and is full of people who leave uncapped druggy needles laying around on the stairs.

Also what the hell are you on about 52 a week? shouldnt it be 68 or 106? plus JSA... you'll be fine, ALSO apply for DHP that will HELP YOU and remember when you apply, ask for 6/7 months of it.

Sorry, £52 per week is how much housing benefit I am entitled to. I should have made it clearer.
