No.
Can you edit it for me?

This has been in the pipeline for a while, 'working for your dole'
AFAIK it will be a 40 hour week and all you get is your normal weekly dole.
where at the minimum wage it would be worth about £240.
I'd say they will use all sorts of reasons why you have to do it. work experience to put down on your CV. getting into a routine of going to work, and to give you something to do.
all it means to me is that you will be taken advantage of. you will be seperated from the rest of society and somebody shares the profits behind your back.
I think it's scandalous. it's nothing short of slave labour. and all companies will be wanting a piece of it.
I think it will be such a big money making thing for everyone behind the scenes, that the slaves will be thought of as what they really are.
