judge2010 196 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 if people have been claiming jobseekers for over 6months do you think they should be made to do work in the community i.e. litter picking,painting, cutting the grass etc? I think it would be a good idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FightTheBan 1,147 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Yes. For people willing to do such jobs, their payments should be doubled and for those not willing their payments should be halved. FTB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CarraghsGem 92 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) too many long term unemployed, build workhouses similar to those like they had during the victorian era, while they are on the dole they have to work 4days a week doing menial work until they find a job, 1day off for jobseeking or training courses. be good for the export or basic goods, food processing etc Edited February 23, 2011 by CarraghsGem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FightTheBan 1,147 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Yes. For people willing to do such jobs, their payments should be doubled and for those not willing their payments should be halved(or stopped all together). FTB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shepp 2,285 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Great idea, there is litter strewn all over the sides of the dual carriage ways round here Lots of old folk need houses cleaned, painted and gardens tidied. We could have gangs of say a dozen unemployed being organised by an ex-army person, if any of the gang are to lazy to get there arses out of bed then benefits can be deducted say by 1/5 each day. You could have someone on incapacity driving the mini bus from job to job. We need to shame some into playing a part in society and not just taking all the time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it would be a good idea. But the argument would be, you'd be putting folk who do those jobs out of a job. I would have them in a big room checking mps accounts, going over expense receipts, etc etc.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was unemployed for a couple of weeks but go work shop-fitting 4nights a week and get the odd day plastering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody has the job of doing what I just mentioned and an ex soldier would find a job waiting when he left the army. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For the people on the dole that impress maybe could lead to full time employment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
