    Assuming that the OP is not simply a troll, then they are the prime example of the sort of claimant that so many working people are unhappy about.

    Fortunately the current government has realised that there are far too many people like this, and they are starting to ratchet down paymentsNot working is a lifestyle choice for the OP, one that they will hopefully be queezed out of before too long.


    But they are not clamping down on people like GG and those such as shown on Benefits Street - they are doing what all governments do, which is only going after easy targets.

    Certain people know how to play the system, and although they might have to attend a few daft courses, and tick a few boxes on a JSAG, I can practically guarantee that, in 5 years, they will still not be working, and will still be claiming benefits. :whistle:

    It's the genuine job seekers, who really do want help, who are being let down, and chased about.

    This tough talk from the government is for keeping the masses quiet, and they are not expecting to actually achieve much.

    That is why they have offloaded much of it onto private commission based WP providers, who are lumbered with the unemployable a lot of the time.

    You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset. ;)

    I don't wear the same t-shirt, I have them in different colours but with the same slogan :)

    Now that is just plain pathetic, and I don't believe you. I think you should post a picture of yourself in one of the other colours!

    I fear that GG is rapidly becoming unemployable.

    That is what he wants!

    Hahahaha different colours with the same slogan. If you went in to your voluntary job or the jobcentre once with one colour of that t-shirt, they'd probably roll their eyes.

    If however you went in each day a week with the same t-shirt, but a different colour, they'd probably think that your fruit has truly been caked!!!

    Just make everybody who is unemployed wear a variety of T-Shirts to reflect their sexual orientation when visiting the job centre..... though methinks in such a system he'd no longer wish to wear his shirt as it didn't garner him any attention.

    He has about as much chance of getting some action as he has of getting a job.
