There are several points l might add to your comment martyh, people are NOT better off on the dole.

Only a few people are better off and that is down to the system, its no one fault that they are out of work, and have been for several years. The benefit system should be given to those people that are genuinely out of work. It should NOT be there for those people that have just come into this country.

To me the government should state that you can only claim benefit IF you have been in this country for longer than 12 months or IF you can prove that you are actively looking for work.

When l was out of work l HAD to PROVE l was looking for work, and l did, BUT they still insisted l wasn't trying hard enough.

What the Tories are simply doing is hitting the poor and NOT hitting the people they should be hitting. I hated being out of work, The government are not doing enough to bring industry back to the UK.

A very good friend of mine has been looking for work in Margate, and he tells me the place is totally dead, and is only busy during the tourist season, shops are shut and he tried several jobs in Kent, and he did not get any replies - i was getting reference letters about him, but he still didn't get work.

The poor always get hit, and they cannot use there voice until election days. i am NOT A LABOUR voter. As they badly let the country down, but what the Tories are doing at the moment is always thinking of who to hit next - instead of thinking about increasing there wages and expenses account.
