So today when going to the DWP to say I have done nothing in the last two weeks I enquired about the sanction and if it was lifted.
It is not.
In fact I have another two weeks of nothing and with £35 in my bank and a telephone and internet bill to pay I have as much chance of winning the lottery than getting it back.
So, I will have to put in a appeal. And this is where the problem lies:
The decision of my sanction is done by someone who is not even in this area. It is done in some place like Aberdeen or Glasgow. It is in Scotland, not England as to who the decision is made for to remove their entitlement for money to live on. And as of last week (maybe this week) you can now be sanctioned for no money for 3 years
Three years? THREE YEARS! What happens is they have no employment skills? What happens if someone gets a bit ratty with the DWP and think "Sod it, they are not giving me money so why bother going to sign on." By day 50 and a sanction leads to another and another you could be receiving no money at all for 36 months
Has the coalition Government of the UK gone ape shit or something?
How can they justify themselves with this if you have no qualifications and all you are capable of is sweeping a works floor as your employment prospects are zero. They have made university cost £9,000pa and expect you to work if you need to get a job. Not only would you not end up with no money if the job in your area states that your qualification of brain surgeon is no needed anywhere so you have no relevant skills and the mantra of the school leaver would be him saying all day is
"Do you want fries with that?
Someone said to me that this could be the spark that starts the fire to cause problems for the unemployed.
I do home Cameron and his upper class idiots who are all millionaires will reconsider the position they are putting the unemployed in. At the last count, there are 2.5 million of us. All potential voters and all can vote either in the ballot box or with their feet to cause the same problems that caused the London Riots in 2011.
The days are getting darker for the unemployed and those that are incapable of working.
Dark days indeed.
