If he doesn't want to work for 'free' then why doesn't he stop signing on? Labour have drilled it in the heads of so many that they can have stuff for nothing. There's people on here struggling to survive by being an honest hard worker, yet benefit claimants can have the life of Riley by doing nothing? Is that the kind of attitude you want your son to have?
Your son should have to work for his job seekers - why should he sit at home all day on his PS3 on my dollar? The whole scheme is designed to give your son valuable work experience so he has something on others putting in for the same job.
As for Tesco getting free labour? I doubt that - they have to train them, and then supervise them and so on. Ok, so it's not a wage they are paying out put they have comittment and responsibility as well.
As for the comment about his son living in a country on it's arse that was through no fault of his own - well that might be true, but that doesn't mean that sitting on his arse claiming a wage for nothing is going to solve it.
Sorry i haven't worked out how to use the multi quote function yet.
"If he doesn't want to work for 'free' then why doesn't he stop signing on? Labour have drilled it in the heads of so many that they can have stuff for nothing."
He is entitled to benefit to enable him to find a job and live, would you like to work for free?
"There's people on here struggling to survive by being an honest hard worker, yet benefit claimants can have the life of Riley by doing nothing?"
I have worked for 20yrs without any gaps, this is my first time unemployed, it's difficult to live the life of Riley on £65 per week.
"Is that the kind of attitude you want your son to have?"
How do you know what kind of attitude his son has?
"Your son should have to work for his job seekers - why should he sit at home all day on his PS3 on my dollar? "
Again you are assuming things again, how do you know what his son does?
"The whole scheme is designed to give your son valuable work experience so he has something on others putting in for the same job."
No it isn't and stacking shelves isn't a valuble skill, anyone can do it, if they need people to do it they should pay them.
As for Tesco getting free labour? I doubt that - they have to train them, and then supervise them and so on. Ok, so it's not a wage they are paying out put they have comittment and responsibility as well.
They do get free labour and stacking shelves hardly requires training, would you be committed to an employer that doesn't pay a wage.
"As for the comment about his son living in a country on it's arse that was through no fault of his own - well that might be true, but that doesn't mean that sitting on his arse claiming a wage for nothing is going to solve it."
This i agree with but making people work for nothing isn't the solution either.
You seem pretty convinced that the guy's son is a lazy boy who doesn't want to work, how do you know or do you automatically assume that all unemployed are lazy?
Like i said earlier, i have worked all my days and i find unemplyment a horrible experience and ive tried hard and applied for countless jobs.
When ive spoken to people like you in person who also think unemplyment is a big party and are in favour of right wing slave schemes i ask them two questions.
When was the last time you were unemployed?
Would you be happy to work for nothing?
Jesus, only came hear to learn things about my pc and xbox ..lol
