You have at least one hour in every working day to continue to look for work. I predict this programme will also allow time for interviews and reasonable travel.

So basically they've thrown the National Minimum Wage law out the window then.
it's like the bedroom tax.
people should move to a smaller house so as not to be victimised.
(there isn't enough even if they wanted to)
work for your dole.
work full time for a few quid, or get a 'proper' job.
(there isn't enough even if they wanted to)
pay fine for walking on cracks in pavement.
avoid the cracks, don't pay the fine.
(there aren't any non cracked slabs to walk on)
who's to blame for the mess the country is in?
in the Great British survey most of those that are employed. blamed those that are not employed. and were surprised to hear that it was the bankers and old people.
(they said, well David said it's them **** on the dole, and I believe Dave)
