The company employed to get people off DLA gets paid for each and every person they take off the list.

Do the math. It ain't rocket science.

I'm glad my Darlin' Dad is dead, for he'd have wept tears at what is happening in his country today. He went to war AGAINST people like this.

Seems to me the Nazis didn't lose, they merely went on a very long holiday to South America for Rest, Relaxation and Re-Grouping before they launched their final and most deadly assault on the world.

This thread was picked up again purely to upset, which the person who's done that sits behind his screen chuckling in delight.

All I can say to anyone who thinks that living on Job Seeker's Allowance is a doddle is....Live the Life first, with no hope of ever getting a job in sight. Live that Life knowing that it will never change, that you will never be able to keep properly warm in the winter, or live anywhere half-decent, or go on holiday, or have fun, or be able to treat yourself now and then...

The same goes for those on most other benefits...It is a life of struggle.

There will always be those who abuse the system, but they are the minority, NOT the majority.

There are many, many MPs who've been far more crooked in their time..and I believe that what is happening at present, turning people against each other, making out all benefit claimants are scum, is a backlash for how the press treated the MPs..They loathed the fact they'd been found out, so they've spun it round, making out that the ordinary bloke in the street, forced out his job, ill, or disabled in some is the biggest scrounger going...

It's been done very cleverly, through news items, special TV programmes etc...

As for some folks who turn up at Job Centres being dirty, having a dog, or a baby, being abusive....well, so often these are the very people who start off in life being stamped FAILURE. They come from unhappy homes, more often than not...are humiliated and shouted at by the school system who wants well behaved clones, not damaged individuals, or those geniuses-in-waiting who have ADHD, or are on the Autism/Dyslexia circle...

And so, they learn to Lose Hope very early on in life, drifting into Unhappy Gangs of the Damaged where they find some kind of Solace and Kindness from each other...

Torquay is filled with such folks...

There is a sweet lassie I see very often called Jenny, she's quite young, with a small child...She's without doubt an alcoholic, her skin is scarlet and weathered and she's often to be seen sitting on the pavement playing her flute.   She's dressed in old woollies to keep out the cold...but she always has a smile for everyone, even those who practically hold their noses as they walk past her...I gave her some books the other day and she was SO thrilled, saying she'd read them to her daughter (some were my children's books from way back)....She sings on the bus, to herself, to others..and she chatters away to everyone, even those who don't want to listen to her...She tells them how beautiful they all are, how much she loves them.....Sometimes she looks very dirty and scruffy depending on how her days have gone, but always her shining smile is there, despite her rough, tough life...

And yes, 'they' gather outside Torquay Job Centre, the Rough'n'Tough, but sometimes they are the very people who will open doors for you..and if you smile at them first they will ALWAYS smile back, for so often they are The Gentle Ones, harmed deeply by society and by those who regard them as scum, who have ended up this way due entirely to themselves...

There but for the Grace of God, whomsoever your god may be
