Benefit Busters

[BertieBotts]

I have a feeling this is going to be awful actually, they are focusing on lone parents

Just starting on C4 now.

these agencies exist to persecute the most vulnerable people in society: children in poverty.

because their mothers are on income support.

I have been out of work for 9 years now. I would be working if I didn;t have 2 disabled kids, but I did phone the job centre on wednesday about getting back to work as its driving me mad now.. maybe not a good time to be looking though..

She would hate me... lol

Has the lady she accused of being an alcoholic left the course?

the women 'helping' is awful!

Yes thats correct Expat, but when I approached them saying 'can you help me', they said 'no bugger off, you live in a nice area'.

still haven't addressed how a lone parent is supposed to work in tesco when her child is 7.

or when the 7-year-old falls ill.

or how the lone parent is supposed to survive when WTC comes back and says, 'Sorry, we overpaid you 3 years ago, nothing for you.'

Did that woman wear that purple clubbing outfit to her job interview?

She's a patronising cow

That's bollocks, Nutty, because then they're going to expect you to take any job that comes your way when your youngest is 7.

Yet don't want to help you get a job.

WTF?

And maybe it's a lucky thing, because this gal is about as helpful as a birch.

I'm surprised she didn't strip search Donna for any alcohol before she went to the toilet.

Why not tell this lady to go bankrupt? She's in social housing so she won't lose her home. She hasn't got any assets.

Yup, I think it applies to me, in Oct next yr, or maybe even when Ds actually turns 7 in December, not sure. I did ask at the job centre and they didn't know

Meanwhile, xp writes down 3 jobs a fortnight and they stay off his back for good.

"even if your £10 better off your better off emotionally" yes shame about when your kids are sick

this gal is getting off on stereotyping and condescending to people.

yes she should go bankupt, would be so much better for her.

Gawd she's a bitch.

taxi's stop at 1am?? really? never heard that one

She is really horrid isn't she! I bet she is Ms Whiplash at the weekend.

but mcdonalds and kfc dont pay enough for these woman to provide for her kids.. stupid cow..

"I'm speaking" !!!

I say that to my children when they interrupt!

They also wouldn't give you the same set hours each week Sparkly, nowhere does, so then you end up having to pay a minder for the whole of the working week incase you have to work that day.

She's not giving them any confidence.

And she's a fucking idiot, lone parents already have to go to JobCentre for work-focused interviews.

FFS, the JobCentre isn't the entry to hell.

What's this- the shame tactic?

"Dreary, unfocussed, slouchy..."

And is meant to build confidence how?

Does she have any bloody idea?

I could go and get a job in Macdonalds tomorrow, but like expat says wtf would I do on school holidays and if one of them was ill.

How about congratulating these women on raisng their children on their own rather then putting them down for doing the bloody hard job that they do?

It's bollocks

yep, its shift work isnt it
