Starvation and poverty are a very real threat for the unemployed. Due to such limited funds, I am often faced with the stark choice between buying a weeks shopping at the local Aldi, or a pouch of Golden Virginia.

I disagree with that, I am a leftie, I know a lot of lefties, I voted remain but overwhelmingly we all hold the common belief that it’s gone on too long. The worry is actually that people are so pissed off with it all that they no longer care what happens as...

To say I am devastated is a huge understatement. I was hoping to get on a free training course to enable me to get a job writing android programming software but the Tories will never invest in the long term unemployed, so I may have to settle for a dead end...

I meant expense, which would be a pretty bleeding obvious typo to most people. The other reasons I have given still stand. By manual work I mean getting your hands dirty, grading tomatoes, sorting parcels, walking 8 miles to work and back every day. Walking...

He said he had a high flying job in financial services. :confused:

It looks to me that you are using the great recession as a great excuse. For your information I was not made redundant, I was constructively dismissed. I ask again, why didn't YOU apply for the vacancy and relocate like you expect me to? Do you consider...

Another self righteous twat with his head up his arse. For your information, I worked in a parcel warehouse and I had a mortgage the same as you at the time of the recession. When I was forced to leave the company through no fault of my own,the vacancy was...

Why didn't YOU move when you were long term unemployed? Just asking.

There are no jobs where I live.

I will be voting Labour. Friends of the unemployed.

Parsonstreet has been signed off by his doctor so not much can be done, he can't legally be employed. I tried to get signed off with my Aspergers but they weren't having any of it. Aspergers syndrome has got me the sack on a number of occasions, so I would...

Don't get me wrong, I WANT TO WORK, I would be better off working, but there are no jobs on the island.

Just about everything is wrong with working. It goes against human nature-nobody really wants to work, it causes pollution, it is humiliating and unnecessary. It is the fault of a society of sheep for going along with it without question.

Thanks, my tinkering with android devices is mainly vocational, as I am looking for a job in android programming. Yesterday was an exception because it is Christmas and I had a little more time on my hands than usual. I should not have to explain myself but...

I have programmed an android tablet to play Slade's Merry Christmas Everybody Stylophone style. It is pretty awesome, even if I say it myself.

Your right, I am sick and tired of being given the third degree by the Nazi staff at the Job Centre when I am only claiming what is mine by right. Corbyn will sort the situation out so that we working class are treated with respect and dignity.

JSA interviews are a very stressful ordeal.

I am unemployed so it wouldn't be possible. I live in a FLAT, not a bedsit!

The internet is essential for the unemployed these days. If the Government want me to apply for jobs and sign on using the internet, then they must provide the connection. Walking to the job centre once a month would be a backward step in my opinion.

I did for a time. The company was a badly run shambles and when I suggested they make a few improvements I was invited to resign. I think it was because I knew more about the job than the management did.

It is our duty as a rich country to welcome these poor people here and offer them a better life, we can easily afford to do so.

She wants to ignore the silly ill informed people who voted to leave the EU which is certainly a plus point.

Right, I am not having any of this. I have worked and paid my taxes so I am entitled to my JSA. Not only that, it is dammed hard work signing on these days. I AM NOT A SCROUNGER, YOU INSIGNIFICANT PILE OF STEAMING HORSE SHIT! Is that clear?
