Did anyone listen to BBC 5 Lives Unemployment debate on Wed. 15th Feb. Very interesting to hear people's experiences. It lasted an 1 hr and a half.
Highlights were
'Ayley of that Job seeking programme on C4 who said job centres are pretty poop or words to that effect.
Bloke challenging the Tory MP to live on £65 a week in Salford. He asked him over and over and Tory tried to challenge him back, but the challenge was not a challenge it was just a question. BUFFOON.
I also had a good chuckle when some lad announced he had just got a job that morning. It was quite well into the programme and there was a good group bonding going on, so there was woops and cheers and applause when he told them. What was funny was he literally threw it back in their faces by saying 'em.... well I'm not sure if you'll like what I'm going to say but there is too much whinging and blaming other people, you have take responsibility for yourself. HAHA:rotfl:talk about kicking them all when they are down. Im alright Jack eh.
Anyway why read my opinions, heres the link so you can listen to it yourselves -
