It's right that government departments at all levels think of the unemployed as rubbish and treat them as such. (There but for the grace of god) How many weeks (yes weeks) are they away from poverty if they too lost their jobs? Most people could go 5-10 weeks before the money runs out, bills can't be paid, mortgage problems, bank loans, car hp, the list goes on. So stop looking down your nose at people and help to address the real problems in our society. Politicians who are two stages removed form the real world and are more interested in their careers than the people they are supposed to represent. (Don't do as I do do as I say). The only way to ride ourselves of this type of government is to replace it with ordinary honest people who will not allow themselves to be hoodwinked by the ruling class into taking decisions that treat people as if they are not part of society. How many times have you heard that council workers are public servants? Yes that's until you as an individual have a problem to be attended too, then you become one of the trouble makers. If you are not prepared to work in our best interest then your sacked!!!!! This John Bird lecture hit the nail on the head.
