In this day in age its no longer a case or "work or starve to death" and with very few bills to my name i can get past on job seakers funding to get me past. But FORCING people to work and if they refuse cutting there funding is legal murder

What a load of Bullshit

 

[curls]

I'd take an outdoor job (Grass cutting) in a heart beat but now i could be forced to take any job going (Thus making me sad and dread waking up in the morning basicly ruining my entire life, fuck that shit i hope i'm in a job before this new rule in enforced.

Are you looking for a specific career path?

 

[Kentpaul]

Don't want to judge, but if everyone had that attitude, you'd be dead on your lazy arse. I'm a full time student that would kill for a minimum wage 16 hour a week job at a petrol station as a cleaner for fucks sake. Get off your arse.

Don't the college system pay your ass to ?

I like where murder fits in my vocabulary and moral sense of the world. Stern, even harsh, government welfare policies go in a different box.

Bullshit. You could kind of almost claim that refusing to work when a job's offered is legal suicide if you want to make shitty analogies, though.

Why should I pay for your upkeep if you're refusing to work through choice?

PS: If you want to make a bit of cash on the side, contact Closer magazine. I hear they're looking for stories about welfare recipients with an overdeveloped sense of entitlement to horrify Daily Mail readers...

 

[Meadows]

A loan, yes, which I have to pay back at some point. I don't get any grants or free money. I'm looking for a job to actually be able to live by my own work, and not have to live off £3000 a year, which to me, feels like dirty money.

You're the reason I hate the benefits system. Not the 'Closer' articles with 53 kids. Not the winos that mean my local off-licence insist on selling single cans of beer. It's you and your like (can work, but why the fuck should I?) that make me hope the system implodes and you're all left hanging from an empty tit.

Exactly. A cold tit that emerges from the bra as a friend, develops a dependency, breeds resentment and then slides back inside the bra as an enemy.

I hate Thatchers tits.

You take a seat in front of that job centre clerk and be told theres a job thats came up and you need to work from 2pm till 10pm everyday nearly and you should be ready for nightshifts. I'd be like a mindless bot excluded from the world, Shut of from everything i love , trust me its usally they shitty boring soul crushing factory jobs that everyones offered

I'm getting depressed just thinking about it. Give me a job i want and i will take it in a heartbeat.

We're wrong not to question the reporting, given how shoddy and agenda-driven we know it to be.

Grass cutter , done abit of it when i was 17 and loved it , 8am till 4.30pm everyday just cruising along with my lawnmore cutting the grass and enjoying the sun

Ps. spending 3,4 hours a day just skiving in the van reading the paper and having a crack with the work crew were the best days of my life

Ok, do you want to expand on the outdoor bit. Building work, carpentry, horticulture, farm work even dog walking etc...

Do you have any qualifications?

You need to wise up mate, see when you get (in the future) responbilites like wife and kids etc you'll take any job you can get so you can put food on the table and still have yor self respect

So let's get this straight. You want an easy outdoors job where you spend half the day skiving, you refuse to work at any job that doesn't meet these criteria, and you think that you should be entitled to my money (and more importantly the money of other people who work at jobs they hate so that they're not leeching off society) to pay your upkeep until someone offers you such a job?

Hell, a few more posts from people like this and I'm joining the SmokyDave Nationalist Party.

I can't handle building site work , i tried some demolition work a few years back and only lasted a few days. , Farm work , dog walking , cutting grass, putting cones at the side of the road , grass cutting , that sorta thing. I may be coming of as a lazy little shit to some of you guys but i'm still young and can get away with it for the meantime.

I'm just saying if you get in somewhere working for a person you like it can open up doors, maybe you could have your own frim in the future.

Don't waste your life with no direction.

That'd be a hell of a PR coup for me, in the short term. You don't need to agree with all the policies. Just infiltrate the military and overthrow me down the line. Honestly, Closer Sets You Free.

Yup. I got you, Numble, Chinner and hopefully, soon, Iapetus.

Not sure about 'SmokyDave Nationalist Party' though. Sounds a bit fascist. I should put a friendly word like 'Socialist' in there somewhere.

Don't waste your life with no direction.

I get what you are trying to say , but to much direction (and all the stress it brings trying to get there )is just as bad as my lack of direction.

And a thanks to the hated labour (Who i voted for) I'm getting put in a 13 week programme at any kind of i want (A big list of jobs i will choose the best looking one)

so you guys are still getting fucked over , i will be working under the pay of the goverment (They pay the company to take me on)

Disagree. Having a direction is what motivates you. Having a lack of direction will ensure that you will never amount to much. Aspire and enrich yourself, you now have the world's knowledge at your disposal.

Do you feel that you owe anything to the people that allow you to live like this?

Do you plan to 'give back' to society later on?

You're right, it sounds bad. I'll shorten National Socialist into something a little friendlier. The NaSo party or something.

Bethnal Green is like a haven for the great unwashed. The bloke downstairs from me refuses to work as he thinks he is too old, in his mid forties. Tower Hamlets really is a strange borough, such a great location next to the city, beautiful parks and sites such as the Tower of London, Canary Wharf etc yet people don't want to work themselves out of the gutter and get a better life, I just do not understand it.
