Ah have you encountered the gentle help of Stage Four benefit provision yet?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Re: Europe (none / 0)

After a year, although there are talk of bringing it down to six months. you still have the fortnightly signing on, but on top of that you have another meeting with a privatised group to "Help you back to work" check that you're trying hard enough and generally finding excuses to push you onto reduced benefit payments.

Re: Europe (none / 0)

Well, I'm on cut down job seekers already. Can't reduce it by much without actually stopping it altogether.

wouldn't it be cheaper to just create jobs as opposed to spend all the money on chasing us about not finding jobs that aren't there ?
