Original post by marcusfoxAnd 'certain people' who aren't complying with their Job Seekers requirements shouldn't be complained about?
Slagging off and generalising Polish foreigners as slackers is a pretty good definition of xenophobia, yes, particularly when the only examples you provided were your housemates, a neighbour and some cleaners where you worked.
I was "slagging off" slackers who happened to be Polish which meant that 100% of Polish workers arent hard working not an entire nation I never said ALL Polish people were slackers did I? I was trying to get the point across that automatically being Polish doesnt mean they are harder workers.
I would, but you seem evasive. Perhaps you are worried that I will in fact find jobs available in your town, like I have done with Martyn. Perhaps that will be the only thing that stops your moaning excuses - and they are moaning excuses - just like they did his.
When did I say there was NO jobs available in my town? I was talking about proportion, if there is 10 jobs for thousands of people there is still 10 jobs available but the likelyhood of getting said job is far lower than if there is 100 jobs for the samd amount of applicants, quite pathetic that you see anyone who doesnt agree with you as making excuses, I dread to see how you treat anyone in real life.
Just for you, post details of this mythical place where there are no jobs. If you don't want to reveal where you live, then fair enough, but then stop going on about the fact that there are no jobs within a commutable distance.
Because we know that there are plenty in Edinburgh and Glasgow that you can apply for. Doesn't matter if you are a total unemployable bum, it's the applying for jobs that counts, and the only real requirement of claiming job seekers allowance
So you have never heard of New Deal placements then? or 2 week skill building courses?
Sorry, but are you expecting us to believe that you were expected to fill in all the applications within your signing window at the jobcentre? That is hilarious.
Just for future reference - you read the job specification at the job centre before you accept it. You take the forms away and complete them in your own time.
Why? And no. not my signing window but before the jobcentre closed and since they didnt explain to me the closing date before handing me application form and wont let you look at the screen theres little you can do, its been so long since it happened(we are talking years) I dont think they even printed me out the job details.
Sorry, you misunderstood me. The implication of me saying "Even if there is no chance of you getting it, you still send in your CV or the application" is that you do it before the job expires/closing date.
The thread is talking about people being kicked off JSA because they didn't comply with the requirements. Someone being being kicked off DLA because they or someone else didn't comply with the requirements is to be expected, but irrelevant to this discussion.
Worked til he was in his late 30s? If he then became ill, he would still have been pensioned off. In any case, if you can't work, you get DLA or IB. There is no point in introducting your father to this discussion unless he was kicked off JSA because he failed to comply with the rules in some way, since he wasn't even eligible for JSA.
It was DLA he got for many years till he recently retired(yet still wants to work) in fact my mum has been offered a full time job after many years of looking as its for a local wildlife area which is about 3 miles from where they live in countryside(so they like the locals) and they know my parents have done a lot of charity work.
Nevertheless, to answer your point, I don't see it as unreasonable that claimants who are themselves unable to meet the necessarily stringent requirements for getting what is effectively free money find themselves without it.
Nope, you didn't upset me. But if you want to be taken seriously and have a debate without conclusions being drawn as to the possible reasons for your current state of employment, or unemployment, you should state your points as clearly and lucidly as possible.
