Snoopy: 1) these days they are hard regarding getting work. 2) people have to prove they are looking for work or their money is cut.

3) how can you cut people money for going on a course to help them find work?

... and FOUR)... the money that someone gets on the "dole" is low... you even mentioned that point earlier "....where the take home pay is coppers more than what benifits pay out.."

so please explain how it's "...the life of Riley.." ... Years ago when a firm I worked for went bust the money on the dole was so rubbish that I got temp jobs till I could find the job I wanted as the money was so crap. I don't see how you can say it's a great life. It's not like they are Paris Hilton or the likes living on millions is it. Back when I did temp jobs, the difference (pre minimum wage) between working 60+ hours a week on less then £2.5 per hour to the dole was over £120.

The rates for a single person(I've just checked) is £64.30 per week.. out of that, a person is expected to buy food, pay bills, clothe themselves, pay any rent top up, etc, etc. The minimum wage for the same person guarantees for a 40 hour week an income after tax of about £150 (rough estimate).... so how is being on the dole easy living? After just paying out for food elec/gas that's say.. £30+ gone, especially in winter. Rent top up can be (depending on the council) £5-10. Normal expenses.. soap, toothpaste, washing clothes... that's another fiver gone .. easily. Clothes wear out, shoes wear out, etc..

So how is it the life of Riley?
How is this easy living?
