Of course sam cam is a stay at home mom, so she has all the time in the world to ponce around playing with her breadmaker.

2) Place people in position were they have a good chance of getting a job when one opens. Eg If Im out picking litter up and a job opens in a hospital lab I wont be there. On the other hand if Im assiting in said lab I can grab a job! AND THATS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING! GETTING PEOPLE INTO WORK!

I think that is a very valid point that you make there. But i have to ask, have you approached any companies and offered your services, in order to maintain/improve your CV?
You may well have done but i bet the majority haven't. And this is where the system falls down. When i was last unemployed, i went on a training course organised through the job centre. There was a whole board containing about 50 work placements. When i finished the course 8 weeks later, not one of those placements had been filled.

Thankfully, i'm not George Osborn. I'm also fully aware of what these leeches in government are all about. The point i'm trying to make is that although this instruction has come from our beloved leaders, do not confuse it with an opportunity to give something back to the real people who pay for the benefits.

Don't blame me, i didn't make the rules. But i'll play by them if it improves my situation and you should too. But you probably won't, and that may be the reason why i have a job and why you don't. And it's why it won't be me who's cleaning up some-ones sick off the road. Oh, and for the record, that is me being condescending.

Anyhoo I am done justifying myself to someone like you, you have made it clear what you think. I think there is a sleazy tory drinking club somewhere missing a member tonight.

Deep breath and then ask yourself what Labour or Lib Dems or UKIP would do differently. Go on, tell me. I'm apolitical on this issue but the only plastic solution is to create council jobs, for which there is no money. Please, enlighten us on what you think Milliband would do differently or accept the fact this is life at the moment.

If we really want to give something back to our communities we will work together to depose these fascists.

Problem is, the no money thing is a lie. What with government paying themselves bigger salaries, companies raking in huge profits, bankers bonuses still really unnaffected and rising, bailouts to the banks, money creamed off from many avenues...It's all a con. And yes, all the top parties are the same with practically the same policies cos companie directors and shareholders hold the strings; most politicians are in fact the very same shareholders.
Time for a benevolent People's Government methinks.
