Hull chav speaks sense
Discussion
On Look North News just interviewed a few people who have been on jobseekers.
They have to go to these "centres of education" to help train them, yet they end up doing crosswords and treasure hunts.
The chav said
"why don't they send us out working in the community in exchange for jobseekers?"
It seems everyone, including those claiming job seekers think they should be doing something. So why not?

I didn't see the report but what makes you assume he's a Chav? Wrong clothes? Accent? Out of work?
Still I agree we need to make use of those who are out of work, keeping the ones that want to work in the loop and ensuring those that don't want to work cannot get away with their idle ways.
Self worth, responsibility, givers gain and all that stuff.

t!I've held thios point of view in pubs for years. If jobseekers meant 2 days a week cleaning up the craphole that is our fair island, we'd have a world less litter, and thre benefit scammers would be working 7 day weeks. not only that, but if jobseekers were assigned appropriate roles, councils could have a lot of skilled or semi skilled work done for very little money - building work, gardening, creation of flyers, translations etc etc.
It also narks me this "spenmd our way out of rtouble" regeime - at least do it peroperly like the Krauts did, they spent their way out of a rescession, and now have one of the finest motorway networks on the planet. Unfortunately, my opinion is matterless, as I'll never run the country - I'm just too crap at expense forms.

Contrary to PH understanding a chav has always been someone who wears faux gold and a tracksuit with their tracksuit bottoms tucked into their socks.Still I agree we need to make use of those who are out of work, keeping the ones that want to work in the loop and ensuring those that don't want to work cannot get away with their idle ways.

Indeed if everyone on jobseekers had to do some hard work, they would soon be loking for a better paying job.

Why doesn't he just go out and do something useful himself? Didn't see the interview, but it strikes me as a sad state of affairs when people need to be told to do something in order to do it. Go and help your elderly neighbour clean their windows, go and wash some graffiti off a wall or tidy up some waste ground to make the place look nicer.
While it's sort of admirable that he feels he should be doing something useful for his money (well, normal seems like a better word, but inaccurate!) why does he need "them" to herd him into it?

We used to have a system called Work For the Dole. Basically, if you were just lazy you were forced to go and do Landcare, community gardening, things like that, in order to get your dole payments.
The bleeding heart lefties got all upset about it. Don't know why.
I went through work for the dole few years back, just doing research for the bureau of meteorology, it was great and the experience and contacts I made actually proved quite useful later on. Never really understood what the objections were to it, the only people who didn't like it were those who didn't want to work in the first place. The only thing I didn't like was having to wear the badge saying 'work for the dole', which made you feel a bit stupid, they could have at least come up with some newspeak type name for it like they for everything else at centrelink.The bleeding heart lefties got all upset about it. Don't know why.
