Those that sign on get their stamp paid as long as they are signing on.

The dole are now running apprenticeships where they can, some of those companies are paying a fair wage while they are training the apprentices and then at least living wage when they finish their training which is fantastic. The companies who do this are giving people a chance they would never ordinarily have got and a bonus is the apprentices get qualifications and experience, and potentially a full time job at the end.

Obviously there will always be those who have it better on benefits with little care for work but for many it is a great chance, and could be better if more and more companies did this.

Quoted from cmackenzie4

My fear is the state pension becoming means tested, it surely has to in years to come, so the likes of us who pay into a private pension through work etc will be penalised, like I’ve said before I know people who are in receipt of their state pension and also receive pension credits, I also know people who are in receipt of their state pension and also receive a private pension but are not much better off than those who contributed nothing to a private pension, unless your well off and can make large contributions to a private pension then what’s the point, I’m coming up to 48 and in the next 20 years I can see things changing big time.

Chris you can never say for sure that it won't happen but to make the state pension means tested would require a huge change in legislation which no government could hope to get through the Commons and the Lords.

The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Years ago any unwanted person in this country was relocated to Australia,

Maybe we should bring that back but not to Australia to Germany instead,

They love all immigrants whether they want to work or not.
