Evening all, I avoided this programme on it's first showing (Monday) but unfortunately I' watching it tonight.
2 central stories, 1 a "new age" sort of woman trying to sell her invention, the Chakra Swing, the other a couple of people who think they have a career as singer/songwriters, he is about 46, she is 51.
Kit, the new age woman has been given a flat, which apprears to be at least
partly furnished, the others have all their housing rent paid for by the taxpayer. The man in the couple had the bloody cheek to say that he hates the government because if he was to take a job, they would deduct tax from his wages Well, excuse me but who the hell do you think is funding your lifestyle why you pursue something that is never going to happen!
What I really don't understand is why these people continue to get JSA?
When I was signing on I had to produce evidence of my job searching, websites I'd looked at, applications made (both for advertised jobs and contacting companies " on spec") , there doesn't seem to be any evidence of those in the programme doing that! Ok, it might be a bit of judicious editing, but showing him sitting in a coffee shop with a poster in the window saying "staff urgently required" said a lot!
Comparing my own experiences with this lot makes me
Things you find stressful that other people don't notice.
