If you lose your job through gross misconduct or quit it you don't get anything. Personally I see no problem with people who've paid thousands in National Insurance getting something back from time to time and find it quite offensive someone who isn't even paying tax telling those of us who do that we are scroungers for having been on the dole. I have been briefly after losing my job, hated having to do it but was told not to be so proud and was required as if I didn't do it I couldn't claim insurance. I guess that makes me a scrounger too.

I can obviously only talk for myself and people I know but obviously there is going to be some satisfied customers, lol.
The guy is obviously an idiot, I didnt realise the full situation before hand either and I thought his post was completely rubbish then.
I have claimed dole before inbetween jobs before and personally do not see any problem with doing it because unlike real scroungers. I had to have paid so much tax and national insurance to be allowed to claim. As you correctly pointed out you can not just go and claim dole anymore like you used to be able to. They want full explainations why you lefts your job, etc. It is then sent off for approval by another advisor before they are willing to give you a penny.
I wonder if he actually knows the cost of living?
