Rules is Rules,

If you want free money out of the taxpayer, you have to do as youre told.

And youre helping the community in the meantime.

Oh how all the unemployed are tarred with the same brush. Let's hope you are joking there.

How many people recently have been forced onto one of these? Apparently the job-centre are now able to send you on enforced community work after 10 months of unemployment, and if you refuse they can sanction for you 6 months. They are now using these work experience scams as an alternative to doing something like this, by basically saying if you chose to do one of the work experience jobs you won't have to do the community things in the future. I'm unsure how many people have been forced onto these community programs, and I was curious to hear from others.

What an excellent idea. Too many people in this country get benefits for nothing.

Nope , do not think they are trolls they are the way the public think of the unemployed

They think we want to be out of work or can't be bothered to work. Wonder if the public would say the same if they were on the other side of the coin.

Why do people delete posts because the replies they get aren't what they want to hear? I don't necessarily agree with any of the replies but that doesn't mean I agree with the OP deleting.

I actually dont think the majority of those on jsa want to be on it but they actually want to be in a job. Ive been on jsa myself albeit only 5/6 months so i do know what its like. I wouldn't have an issue taking part in the community work, id see it as getting out of the house.
