    Oh and once the DWP fraud people have hunted down the 'over claimants' let's not f**k about shall we? £10k worth of out and out theft should be at least 5 years inside, not paying it back at £10 a week and 200 hours community service.
    how many years should gary barlow do then for avoidiing paying millions in tax? 5 years for 10k how long for millions?

    I personally think Gary Barlow should go to prison for robbing the state of 20 million pounds. Could you imagine what would happen if we robbed the social of that amount? We would definatley be going down.
    Not content with crimes against the ear, he has shown himself to be a big fat theif as well.Hopefully he will now go into retirement instead of subjecting us to his bland drawling songs.

    ok, lets get this straight you are now denying that you agreed with sensible advice etc who said people should spend all their time jobseeking and that any reduction harms their chances? you are disagreeing with them and agreeing with me?
    having had solid employment doesnt make you special or superior to anyone.

    Sorry for the delay in replying.
    Been at work. You know how it is.
    All I asked for was for you to provide a quote. What else have you done all day?
    You are right,being in employment doesnt make me special.
    Achieving being out of work for a decade does.

    Anyway - back to original topic.

    IMO - profesionally unemployed, people with no qualifications, experience, work history - sign on every day, force to do something every single day, 5 days per week.
    Is this from the hypocrite who spent a year professionally unemployed because they weren't prepared to take any job the Jobcentre sent them for.

    Hilarious. :rotfl:

    I can. It is social justice. People of all stripes have to go out to work to make money, often to jobs which they dislike. Why should the long term unemployed not in a similar effort for the money they receive?
    3 years signing on ( one year of signing on and two years of the Work programme) is plenty time to find employment. Anybody signing after this date, unless vulnerable I would classify as professionally unemployed.
    As you've worked in the industry I would have thought you'd have more sense and have learnt something, but then again, you did work for the workfare providers that leech off the unemployed & exploit them on a merry go round of government schemes.

    After a set period all benefit claimants* should be required to do community service in relation to the amount they receive.

    *Ideally they would come with a shake up of the tax/benefit system so the stupid merry-go round of people being taxed and given back benefits would end.

    why should people waste time finding quotes everytime you want to deny something you have been found out on? you could counter by showing us quotes where you disagreed with sensible advice if you want to, not that any exist of course. there is no need anyway as i have given you the opportunity to clarify here.

    I was told by my advisor they're not there to help you find a job, they're there to make sure you're doing your best to look for one yourself.

    Well yes, of course that's the case. It's really down to you, and to you alone. Did you take it on board?

    Excuse me - Jobcentre had no jobs "to send me for" that would match my area of expertise or salary expectations.
    "Advisers" did not even have any idea what it is that I specialize with.
    Sorry to break your little heart.

    Unemployed professional - person temporary out of work BUT with skills/experience allowing him/her to get/sustain a well paid, secure, professional job.

    Professionally unemployed - someone who has never worked/is not looking to work and is using every excuse under the sun to stay out of work and claim.
