Unemployed turning down ‘proper jobs’

This is also happening in Guernsey

nothing unusual there then.....youngsters are given too much benefit for doing nothing...as as been said before they should be made to go and clean beaches,sweep roads ,dig gardens for people etc etc in return for benefits x

I could find them work to do that would benefit all.

Next they will be telling us that the Pope is a Catholic.

How can we prod our decision makers to start making decisions,right or wrong! As the great man said "you can please some of the people all of the time,all of the people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time." but at least make some decisions and please some of us.PLEASE.

news like this one day and the next, a guy in a wheelchair building an extension..

maybe a field trip to this guys house to watch him work would shame them enough to get them off their lazy a** and get out and get a job !!!

but i doubt it very much..

They used to (until the 'do-gooders' and 'human rights' came to their rescue)

they still have the ceps scheme running to helpthe long term unemployed..they have to work on various things mostly for states depts to earn a wage for 8 weeks they get a top up from supp ben..surely this scheme should be extended..either that or cut down on foreign workers and make these laszy little sods work...i agree with the gimp send them round to help aindre build his extention xxxx

The thing with that scheme they do not have enough people 'overseers' so they cannot take as many as they used to (well, thats progress for you)

AH Progress!
