You are on the right line Dizzi but the Job the unemployed will be doing will probably be a job that was once held by a good honest worker earning an honest wage to take care of his/her family, but would probably be unemployed because the unemployed person is doing the job he/she once did, as mad as that sounds.

I can think of nothing more hypocritical than a group of privileged millionaires sitting round the cabinet table discussing policies designed to penalise the young unemployed, whilst at one and the same time, turning a blind eye to companies and organisations exploiting, job schemes and zero hour contracts, to take on cheap labour or workers who they don't have to pay, so that they can ramp up their profits and for the government to claim that they have the best interests of those affected at the centre of what they are doing.

This does not just apply to policies for the young unemployed, it equally applies to all their other policies that affect the poor and vulnerable, policies, which in my opinion, they hope will lead to them achieving their ideological dream - which is to dismantle the welfare state.

Maybe the question might as well have been… Should Jobseekers be forced to work as slaves?
Not content the politicians employing people like ATOS to grab benefits away from millions of genuine sick & disabled people at the cost of MILLIONS of POUNDS of our tax payers money, & then find some people can’t cope so they decide to commit suicide.

Not content that the politicians of this country have put so many people out of work. They want the unemployed, to work for the unemployment money they get from the system they have already paid into.

If this goes ahead it’s just one step away from slavery & taking away people’s rights. More people will lose jobs because why should an employer employ & pay a person to do a job when they can get the job done for free? Unemployment will go up & things will keep getting worse. Meanwhile politicians, bankers & other high wage earners will carry on getting richer.

This is just my view but I would like to see your view on this, & I do accept your view may not be the same as mine so we have no need to argue on here it’s just good to talk.
