Lets look at it this way, the government want the unemployed to go round sweeping the streets, picking up litter, and doing voluntary work to get there benefits or it will be stopped.

Has anyone thought, have they committed a crime for being out of work, therefore the unemployed are being punished for not having a job.

If l am not wrong, don't criminals have to do this type of work as part of community payback via the courts, maybe the criminals are NOT doing this work, therefore the government are forcing the unemployed to do the work, as they cannot force the criminals to do it.
