    ...so you want to outlaw employment dates?

    That actually isn't a bad idea.

    One form of discrimination axed in one fell swoop.

    I'm aghast as to how you perceive that to be "bad".

    Too many WUM come one to denigrate the unemployed and wants people to work for money which is there for job seeking and isn't a wage, yet they don't want people to be paid thee legal hourly rate or work that is beneficial

    Flippant? You stated something and I agreed. You are right and I will never work again.

    Its far from my choice to never work again, is it? Like saying it was my choice to be made redundant.

    It is not a choice. If I cant get an interview I cant get a job, can I?

    Not mid 40's though but thanks

    I think you're right you do lose employability from day one. But has to be even harder after 2 years to find there are a number of barriers in your way. And I guess the WP and JC don't understand how employers see things.
    you could be 50 never worked in your life and have zero qualifications and they would still make out you can get a job. you could probably throw in a conviction for murder as well.
