    When are the govt going to bring in sanctions for those that so obviously are doing all they can to avoid work?

    That has been the case for decades, if a Jobseeker cannot prove they are seeking work, benefits are stopped.

    You won't get the begging bowl, that could be a good little earner.

    Ok thanks, also I am confused about this, it stated that I need to access my Universal Jobmatch account 14 times a day, how the hell would Jobcentre know I accessed it 14 times?

    That is a stupid agreement :D

    Erm no I think you said 14 times a week

    So log in at say 11am and then again at 8pm = 2 times a day

    Do for each day Mon - Sun and there is 14 times.

    No they wont know at all but they will if they know there is a job there or show you a job say advertised today and you have no applied to it because you have only logged in once this week and missed it.

    So does that mean twice per day I need to access it?
    See what I mean when I think you pulling our legs?

    14 a week / 7 days = Oh yes you are going on a maths course!

    :eek:
