Can you tell us why it is so easy to get a 9 month housing licence for a none essential worker? All you have to do currently is advertise for 2 or 3 weeks in the social and if no one or no one suitable applies then you are given the licence. With over 400 unemployed why arent there applicants? Why are certain "job seekers" being allowed to pick and choose? Their "skills" should be taken down when they first go in for benefits and a simple phone call or email from an employer should bring up a match very quickly! Obviously if its something more skilled then there is a chance that wont happen but for a cleaner, KP, someone to tidy a site etc there would be plenty to fill these roles. (Dont mention about having health and safety training as the builder I mentioned doesnt care, they pull ken from the prison and social as they please) Just stop their benefits if they dont accept the job. Why should they be given the choice? They are on our time and money. They can continue to search for another job while in the one the social have pushed them kicking and screaming in to. They dont have to stay there. If they can find something more suitable for their lifestyle then fair play, when they leave the current job the next availablejob seeker fills it. With our unemployment its a joke that we are giving out licences for people to work in greenhouses, push brushes around, clean hotel rooms etc.
