Re: Unemployed could be forced to do compulsory manual labour

My take on it is that I don't know what their purpose is. They say it will help people, yet to me I can't see them doing anything to actually help anyone (apart from themselves). This seems like a way of doing something about a problem without thinking it through.

I'm practically housebound, yet when they put me on JSA, I'd be expected to sign on (even that will be a struggle) and maybe have to do this work thing (this course or the real thing). What I don't understand is there are people on here that have said they won't, wouldn't or shouldn't put the sick to work, but if the sick are deemed fit enough (by ATOS) to get off ESA and onto JS then what's to argue. You're either sick or you ain't, or in their eyes there's no such person that is sick or ill if you are claiming jobseekers regardless of their illness or disability.

In the mirror today they've said it can't work, but will it stop them from doing it, I don't know, probably not. So I don't hold out to what their agenda really is.
