No income, no savings, but refused welfare


Fair enough, the Springboard course had no fees, I think.

There are fees for the current course.

The person does not have a sense of entitlement.

Yes, fair enough, in a few months, they will qualify, I hope, for JSA.

The person is seeking work, and has done some interviews.

But when you see friends in the pub every week, and on the golf course, and on long-term JSA, it would lead you to question the welfare system. They don't look for work.

Anyway, we'll just have to get on with it.
 

Yes, I specifically do think that long-term unemployed who make no effort to re-train or look for work are less deserving.


Yes, you are correct, it's just a few months, and yes, they can/will get a lodger, and hopefully JSA at the end, or else a job.

I imagine that playing golf is good for someone who is long term unemployed. And I also imagine that the cost is relatively low compared to any other activity.

When you say in the pub every week, what value in money terms do you think it costs all these people?
