    I think its not fair that people with kids get child benefit why not take that away. Or people who are on JSA who continue to have kids and get extra ££ for them that's not fair.

    People who have never worked but still managed to have a few kids and get a flat!

    Not fair also that not everyone can get housing benefit even if you pay 'rent' to a family member as they are expected to let you stay in their home for free but you would get it if you rented privately.

    There are a lot of things I think that's not fair.

    I know what it like to work, I have done since the age of 14 (1983) and this is the first time ever I have been out of work. I am not used to being here looking for work day in day out. It bothers me I have no life. A good CV and references with plenty of experience go no where these days!

    Jobs that aren't being done cant be that important if we are all surviving without them being done.

    I don't think it is fair that many many people are working long hours struggling to pay their bills whilst being forced under threat of prison to pay tax to give to someone who sits at home all day.

    So why don't you support a policy that makes the system fairer instead of whining 'Oh they get more than me it's so unfair givemegivemegiveme'

    Cleaning a hedge along a country road isn't an important job, but that isn't a reason not to do it. You are literally doing nothing else with your life, like 1000s of other people, it is not unreasonable to have to work 8 hours a week to try and make the world a little bit better.

    In terms of fairness what about comparing the ruling class with everyone elce instead of people on benefits with those who are working. Do you understand what divide and rule is? Do you understand what propoganda is and what role it plays ?.

    LOL yes I know what divide and rule is, hence why I can see your post quite clearly. Or are you going to deny that you are trying to turn me on the 'ruling class'?

    Its been in the newspapers yesterday too that they are going to announce this at the conference.

    Where are they going to get all these 'jobs' from?

    Got a job = pay someone NMW to do it!!
    i believe the plan is community work. so basically the vilification of the unemployed because they will be doing what criminals have to do.
