Because all unemployed are being criticised and made to feel they are a burden on society and most of them are not they are people who through no fault of their own find themselves unemployed and are stuggling because the area they live in was the area that lost some industry. What made this wrong was the threat aspect of it, as if you ASKED most unemployed to do some community work a few hours a week it might shock some of you to learn they would do it. Hell i took a training position because it paid a tenner more a week it cost me fifteen to do it but most unemployed do want to work and are happy to spend time in work related activities if they cannot get a job.

Honestly the way some on here preach the only thing they make clear is how long it is since they had to look for work and jump through the hoops that you have to to get a job. I have only stopped looking for work in the last year and a half because i had to be honest with myself that i couldn't do even a part time job anymore. While i was on jsa i was part of a bunch we all signed on on the sameday and i still remember to this day the longface that hit them one by one as we did our rounds of the boards only to find when we picked a card or ten that all of them were gone and the same constant excuse "oh that card should have been taken down".

Some of you need to stop implying that all or even a sizable minority of unemployed people do not want to work because your wrong though i doubt any of you will ever concede that. Also the rhetoric around this debate needs to come back to a more adult and reasonable tone because why would a firm give a job to someone longterm unemployed when they constantly hear that anyone who is longterm unemployed is workshy.
