Ids - I Saved 2M From The Dole. The Truth.
51 Answers
Having tasted unemployment in the last 2 years, this is one example of how IDS "saved" 2m from the dole. The job centre will direct you to an employment agency. I suspect they get a recruitment fee from the govt. The agency tell you they have lots of clients with work in warehousing, packing, clerical, driving etc. You sign with the agency and they become your employer. But, surprise surprise, they only have enough work for 2 or 3 days per week, sometimes not even that. So your employer cannot guarantee a full weeks work from one week to the next. Just try getting help with benefits to top up your earnings, which some weeks will be zero, and see how difficult that is. On occasions, you go to the company for your detailed work, and when you get there they will ask who sent you, as you're not needed, resulting in lost travelling expenses with no earnings, but you're still in "employment". People just get messed about, but the unemployment figures go down. Result for the government at your cost. T0$$ers.

‘Chambers’ isn’t a participant in this discussion. However, for the benefit of the reader my Chambers defines a Conservative thus:
//Tending to support the preservation of established views, customs, institutions, etc, opposed or averse to change… a traditionalist … //
In order to avoid tedious repetition – and because I can’t be bothered to type it all out, I’ve edited that – but that doesn’t sound so bad to me and there’s not a word about bigotry to be found. Are you sure you’re looking at Chambers?
This discussion is becoming silly which is a shame because it could have been interesting. I'm going to look for something more sensible to talk about before I go to bed.
