    i read what was written, signing everyday is justice apparently and therefore some sort of injustice is being done to taxpayers by unemployed people if they arent signing daily.
    if signing daily achieves this justice that is desired then i guess they dont need to bother getting a job and can sit around for the rest of the day as justice for taxpayers has been done by the signing on.
    or could it be total rubbish and no justice at all is achieved by taking part in a pointless task. not that justice needs to be done by people who havent performed any injustice in the first place.

    Its not all though,is it?
    Only those who haven't put in the required effort to get work.
    I can understand why you would be against such a scheme

    no not true, it isnt just for people who havent done enough to find a job. what you do to look for work has nothing to do with whether you have to do this or not. if you dont do enough you get sanctioned plain and simple. i disagree with it for reasons already stated in a previous post. nobody gains, everybody loses.

    no, never had to do daily signing. what it does lose from the claimants point of view is time for jobseeking and the ability to attend a job interview if it clashes with it. so less chance of getting a job.

    So how do people who work look for and apply for jobs?

    when posting you should really remember the nonesense you have posted in the past then maybe people will stop thinking you are a troll making it up as you go. for example do you remember the stuff about how people should spend as much time as possible jobseeking. now you are saying its ok to have jobseeking time reduced by taking part in a pointless task. personally i am looking forward to the jobcentre rule that says jobseekers must spend 3 afternoons per week in the pub and claim the expenses back from them. it will be great seeing people like yourself supporting it. :rotfl:

    Please provide a quote DJ.
    You are laughing yet have failed for years to provide for yourself through employment.
    I have had solid employment in that time.

    When I said social justice I meant justice for those that go to work and pay the taxes to support the long term unemployed. You know, those folk that get up at stupid o'clock to drag themselves to a job that they hate...those guys.
