Anyone who thinks living on 71 quid a week, or 3700 a year, is a comfy lifestyle, they should try it.

Johnnytwostep, here's some advice. Concentrate on your OWN life without telling others what to do and speculating what they may or may not be receiving in the form of benefits and indeed what they do with said benefits. You'll be all the better off for it.

well in my case a report has been sent to the shadow work and pensions secretary liam byrne
the attorney generals office
and the information commissionaires office

this is on the job centre staff bullying people to give up their data protection rights and statutory protections by threat of unlawful sanctions

I wholeheartedly agree. It's all too easy for narrow minded people to label the unemployed as lazy and workshy. There may be a minority of people who have never been shown the benefits of working but you'll find that these days most of the people in the dole queue are hard working people who have unexpectedly found themselves without work as a result of a downturn in the economy. If you still believe that your average 'doley' resembles the cast of Shameless then you're way out of touch with reality.
There are many ways to look for work, not just by logging in to a badly designed government run site that contains fewer local jobs than the local paper, so why should someone be penalised for not using it? It is a well known fact that there are more vacancies that are not advertised than ones that are. The whole monitoring job applications thing is just another way of bullying those who are already down on their luck.

Erm...

The clue is in the name. Job Seekers Allowance. It is a condition of receiving the benefit that you demonstrate you are, in fact, doing the seeking bit. So how do JCP staff go about establishing that? Take it on trust?

If people spent as much time on jobseeking, and actually looking for a job as they do writing to every tom !!!!!! and harry to try to get out of doing what the jobcentre told them to, they may have a job and not need to be on the JSA they are moaning about.

i have paid into the system for the last 30 years so do not label me a scrounger. i was made redundant through ill health retirement.

its allright moaning saying do what the job centre tells you to do, but when that is an unlawful instruction, that makes a mockery out of judicial function through political dogma

I DRAW THE LINE

i respect the law, it seems you do not

And if others spent time concentrating on their OWN jobs rather than spending time posting inaccuracies and dictating how others should act, then perhaps, just perhaps they'd be more content with their own lives.
