    Yes DJ,having kept employment over the last decade doesn't make me special.
    Its yourself that is special.
    I have nothing to counter. I live in a relatively social norm set up.
    You on the other hand think your life is the norm, and any failings are solely down to external influences beyond your control.
  • I have found myself unemployed and I really hope they don't put me on daily signing....I find it hard to walk so a trip to the Jobcentre costs me £15....

    lets see on here you said something that takes people away from jobseeking is a good idea. on another thread we have all seen you agree with sensible advice who thinks people should spend all their time jobseeking and cutting it short to do other things is wrong. when this is pointed out you deny it and ask for quotes. i say i am not going to bother but point out you can disprove what i said by either saying you now think sensible advice was wrong or by providing quotes of yourself disagreeing with them. neither you have done. this is because you cant provide quotes and you do actually agree with sensible advices view. this makes your support for daily signing show you up for what you are. i will let people decide for themselves what that exactly means.

    claim the fares back for any trip outside of your normal signing day.

    also it is to stop people going on holiday without declaring it. I think your time would be better served in a job workshop and courses.

    The government funded 'jobs hotline department', set up to help people into work, is no longer available, because they have made the staff redundant:

    But your normal signing day will be every day.

    And, signing on times are now different every time. Officially, this to make best use of resources. Unofficially, it should also cause confusion and missed appointments and therefore more sanction victims.

    That's not how it works. Forget the lingo and terminology. Anything more than one trip to the job centre a fortnight should be reimbursed, that is what the JSA calculators budgeted for.

    It's such an easy life living on no money, reading the daily tabloid nonsense & Tory demonisation of the poor, unemployed & those on benefits, while on the beach, travelling round the world living it up !

    Would be easier to put them in prison.
