... which could mean she's stupid, if she did that and still expected to get a job in, say, a bank.
She has put her personal statement over and above everything else. So long as she did that in the full knowledge and acceptance of the consequences, then fair enough.

Unless you know her IQ and the reasons behind her peircings that would be pure guesswork..

Shame the media's concentrating their efforts on her and not the advisor.. But then it wouldn't be a news story

Re: Jobcentre told woman to put bag over head.
The job centre adviser was crass in his approach, no doubt about that. But the reason the story made the news was that the way the person in question has chosen to 'decorate' herself. We all live in community and we are all connected to one another, no matter how badly we may wish to be individual and independent. What she has done is a departure from shared community values. It was always going to set her apart, to her disadvantage, in the community at large.
The question now is, to what extent she was aware of that and to what extent she understood, accepted and allowed for the fact that she was going to restrict her own opportunities.

And we never gave a fig about it before now how people look different, and how they don't fit in with the now acceptable standards.
I think it's more to do with peoples opinion of the out of work and getting free money that makes it a story.
