    OP > possession with itent to supply?

    What was it?
    Since I'm sure the Police don't bother much with Cannabis unless there are other issues, I suspect it is something harder. Guessing Heroine/Cocaine/Amphetamine.

    The OP makes a good point though. If the system decides they're not entitled to money, and have none from other sources, then what is one expected to do? After all, things like this happen... https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/53774441#Comment_53774441
    Wanted a job, now have one. :beer:

    So we all go on the rob, become a drug dealer or worse? If you put yourself in a situation that will not pay you JSA then deal with it! Sorry.

    Thank you mate, exactly! I haven't got a payment from any source of benefit from mid-march.. That's almost 3 months.

    I don't know what they expect me to do.. I had to sell drugs, And if I do go to prison then at-least I won't have to worry about what I'm going to eat that night, or will I have enough money for electric. A whole load of stress off my shoulders!

    It was MDMA and Cocaine.


    And for those who are taking the !!!! out of me supporting the BNP, I don't support them for their political ideologies - Only immigration policies.

    I vote for them because maybe if they gain more votes the major parties in the UK will start to tighten their immigration policies.

    Immigration is partly to blame for why I can't find a job sweepin !!!! off the pavement.

    And I question why Somalians get it all on a plate and I'm here with no money!

    As for my college - I dropped out because I had a few personal problems. I was receiving income support for it, and a bursary. I have proof to say that I no longer recieve any support whatsoever from the college..

    I suppose if you have certain types of friends who see this sort of thing as normal, then yes you do - you do what you can to survive on £0 per month, while others expect £900 a month (minimum wage) to just get by. The OP has mental health issues, and is being evicted from their home due to being unable to pay the rent. You can't tell me you have no sympathy whatsoever! Even if they did happen to have had a Gold Membership to the BNP as well.

    OP might have good reasons for having left college. I remember when I was 16, I had been mercilessly bullied at school, and decided the best way to escape it was not to go, so did not sit GCSEs. I was depressed and dropped out of various Youth Training courses. Partly a combination of them being carp, and me not being able to stick with it. But I later went on to do GCSEs at college and university, achieving a first class honours. Not that it's done me much good in getting a job, like.

    OMG - I can not believe you are not that bothered about going to PRISON. Been inside before have you? I wouldn't be thinking about you not having to buy food etc at this stage.

    I was once on a jury where the couriers of some cocaine got TEN YEARS!!

    That's a mighty long time.

    Maybe someone expected you to take responsibility for your own actions.

    Sorry but this may sound harsh but you really deserve all you get when you get invovled with drugs!

    erm no I have no sympathy for someone like that.

    If you got bullied at school and sat no exams I blame your parents.

    Maybe the OP can get a job with the BNP!
