I start a Work Placement

It's a natural conclusion from your policy. For each pound you spend on someone who chooses not to work, or has excluded themselves by criminality, that's £1 less available to fund health care, education, or whatever.

It's not really unfair to point out the consequences of your preferred policy; no-one was saying that you'd want to deprive a cancer sufferer of care, but that's the very real outcome of spending money elsewhere.

Just as well we aren't wasting money bailing out private companies and the like eh.

Do you realise that the £71 is not hoarded, it is instead spent. That money then goes back to the economy in some way. Society doesn't exist in a vacuum.

What is your stance on say the bank bailouts, or the utter failuire of the work programme? I imagine you're pretty apoplectic about them. I imagine you are also irritated by MPs (from all parties) claiming expenses for things like horse paddocks and duck moats.

It's not a job, it's a work placement. But he can't refuse it anyway.

Yes well. Thank you for your advice but I think the subject under discussion is GG not my brother.

I do think it is grossly unfair for your brother to be treated the way he is. I don't know what he has done but I can sympathise as I have a relative who will be coming out of prison / hospital in the near future and I am certain he will want to be working as soon as he is able - but I suspect his history will hinder him.

I'd guess that a spammer wouldn't know the difference

It's not poverty, is it. Accommodation, food, healthcare all provided for. That is not poverty.

Doesn't change the fact you are perfectly happy to deprive someone of cancer drugs to fund someone who can't be bothered to work. There is limited money.

JSA is poverty - could you live on £71 per week? :doh:

And, as someone who is sick and disabled, please don't use me as an excuse to let the 'lazy' starve!

I don't want extra money on the back of people either starving or committing crime to eat, thanks very much.:mad:

Of course, there are irresponsible people claiming benefits, just as there are rich wasters avoiding tax - crap happens.

You are IDS and I claim my £10. Talk is cheap.

I could weep really. Before he was stupid and ended up in prison (5 months) he was a trainee manager at a supermarket and going places as it were.

I know there are people that would like my brother to suffer forever but it has been his only offence and has not been in trouble for ten years. I keep suggesting that he needs to start up his own business - and he has said he would love his own coffee shop - but how does one get the funds for that?

Gay -Guy,
If you have got to 27 year old and all you have accomplished in life is to annoy practically every body you have worked with let me ask
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE SINCE LEAVING SCHOOL TO ACHIEVE IT!!!!
I would put you in a hostel with the rest of the problem people with NO money unless you got a job.

GET A GRIP AND STOP MOANING!!!

I have a friend who did a placement like this (recycled furniture to help claimants), he got a pretty decent well paid job from the company running the place in the end.

...just saying.
