   Be nice to see a job centre, nearest one is 30 miles away, used to be one in every town.

   Pay is not too low. Benefits and the free stuff that is not classed in the benefit figures are too generous. (Council tax reduction, free childcare hours, reduced rents etc) Why work full time when you can get only slightly less or in some cases more.

   I posted this on another video only to be harassed by the benefits are not that high brigade.

   Here's one for you. I live next door to the affordable housing. They get that are a reduced rent. I paid full price. They can buy it at a reduced rate. What the reduction is for theres gives them more than the deposit I had on mine!! Its ridiculously unfair that if I had less income I would of got a house cheaper. We live next door to each other so it's not like working helped me do better when they ended up with a greater deposit. (These are the part time in work benefit people)

   In my experience with universal credit like many many others aren’t good ones, they don’t help they try to force you to find work no matter the distance even if you don’t drive they will make you work or take up a job that’s difficult to get to, I lost my job last December and got paid for the first time in January, ONE PAYMENT of 325 to pay my 425 pounds of rent, energy bills, food and travel expenses to and from the JC and job interviews, I was threatened every single time I was in that my payment would be stopped and in a cost of living crisis that is horrible, thankfully I found another job off my own back but the advisor that threatened me every week will have had a bonus from me getting that job and leaving universal credit despite not helping me at all just dishing out threats. The benefit system needs overhauling and the advisors need to be advisors not someone with the ability to destroy your only income which is scraps for a monthly pay benefit.

   I went to jobcentre before. They said they don’t have jobs for me and told me to find it myself. Ummmm, alright. 😅

   3:18 '…because the pay is too low…'?!

   So you'd rather stay on benefits?!

   And the idea that the government has driven down pay…?! WTF?!

   How does a government drive down pay in a capitalist private sector market?!

   Job Centres in the 90's had jobs available on cards on big boards. You picked your vacancy, took the card to the desk and they arranged an interview for you.
   In the 2000's they had the vacancies on computer screens and you could again apply from there for the advertised vacancy.
   Now, unless you are there to hand over your 'book of lies' and sign on [if they still actually even do that] you are not allowed in the building and God alone knows where the vacancies are supposedly 'advertised'!
   Last time I contacted a Job Centre to advertise a vacancy in my company they wouldn't allow me to post one saying 'we don't do that anymore'!
   What exactly DO they do nowadays anyway?

   Dewbs, you’re ‘getting harsh’ as you’re approaching your middle age.
   I was pushed to find work until the day of my 66th birthday – after losing my job a few years earlier. I was on (£74 a week) UC and was strictly monitored with my jobsearch (the Jobcentre has access to your online jobsearch account). Although (told I was) trying hard, I couldn’t get employment. And you say a ‘lifestyle choice’ (?) – at £74 a week? Council tax, vat on energy, etc still had to be paid – so we were effectively ‘taxpayers’! (I am a State Pensioner now.)

    DWP figures are a joke. This country has an epidemic of people pretending that they, or their kids or both are disabled. None of these people or their "carers" are required to look for work.

    This woman is vile. Absolutely no clue about how people struggle to work. Single parents who struggle to find work that fits school hours or ex offenders whose prospects are severely reduced. She's trying to sound like she's working class by exaggerating her northern accent (I'm from Lancashire, I can hear it) and talking about visiting council estates like it's a trip to the zoo. I'm quite happy for my taxes to be used to support parents who want to stay home with their child, or for young people struggling to find their way. But if this woman ever needs a hand out, she can join the back of the queue

    Nasty little fascist isn't she?
    No empathy at all, not really a psychopath, just a product of the Thatcher era, a 'Low carb Nazi light'. When you don't have a job or on peasant wages, you're somehow sub-human and disposable. She's quite happy for you and your children to die of starvation as long as it doesn't cost her anything. She'd probably say there's too many people in the world anyway, and you can easily be replaced with migrant workers. She and her like don't have to see it, safe and oblivious behind their guarded gated communities.
    So you see, the '15-minute city' is to protect them from us.

    Judge a country by how it treats its poor and most vulnerable.

    That Scottish guy has it all wrong. People go to work to 'get on'. ie. get a job, get a car, get a better job, get a house, get a family, pay for a comfortable retirement. Too many people don't want to go the hard way, they prefer to settle for free money, a free house, a free family. This is doable, many hundreds of thousands do this. There are lots of reasons for this. Maybe a lack of local work to get on the first step. These peoples lack of vision and 'I want it now' mentality is unhealthy. I see local couples pushing prams who have never worked and they look miserable.

    It wasn't the government's job to force injections on us or lock us in our houses. Governments generally do very few things well, mostly taxation (theft), war (mass murder) & brainwashing (called education / state run media).

    I once had help at the job centre by them arranging group a interview and telling people about it to attend, they just arranged a way for us to have an interview and a chance to get a job. I was about to start my new job when organ failure fucked me up 😅
    So the government can help but there are people who chose not work and this bollocks of people not doing jobs for dignity is a crap argument, not all jobs are dignified but people need to them

    You can just feel the words 'scrounger scum' desperate to get out of her mouth can't you? We are not all born equally capable in any area of life, thereby a great many find it very diffuclt to retain work. We were not all born equal in access to education or life circumstances, many will struggle so much they are more likely to be in financial difficulty, more likely to experience higher prices in most areas of life, pay more tax proportionally, less likely to be offered opportunity, more likely to struggle so much they end up committing crimes, even to feed their children. It is those pompous and sanctimonious looking down their nose and hoping the gutter is full of dirty poor people to make themselves feel better who are the cause of most of the poverty in this world.

    Tony Blair and Zero Hour contracts ruined careers and workers right for entire generations of Brits and the constant watering down of contracts that would secure our workforce is deliberately destroying this country. No wonder we have this problem “thanks Mr Blair”

    The government doesn't help you find work…. i can tell none of you have been signed on lately.

    They set an arbitrary number of jobs that you have to apply for a week/month.. regardless of how many jobs are available/in your area, you must apply for that number of jobs or be sanctioned.
    Liek a sword of Damocles ready to drop on you at a whim
    That was my experience when i was claiming UC for a few months.

    I dont remember getting any help? what so you even mean by help?
    If you can actually read and write you don't get much of what i would call help.

    This is why there are way too many ppl on benefits claiming they have fibromyalgia. Diagnosed only by the of description of pain ‘all over’, no tests to confirm or deny it and they know it. It’s not that they are ‘intimidated by writing a cv’, it’s def a cultural thing I witnessed growing up in a poor area. U do get told ‘u think ur better than us’ and shunned bc u go looking for a job/career.

    I completely agree with the lady in this, when I was in my late teens and all the way through my 20s so many people around me would laugh at me for working and would get their housing and everything else paid for and the only difference between us both was I stuck things out and they quit, exactly the same opportunities.

    If they can work, they shouldn’t be getting benefits. The problem is, even if they were all to start working, 1. Our taxes wouldn’t be lowered anyway & 2. Wages would just go down even more because of the larger workforce.

    I think it's really difficult, work seems to go down two lines. You are good at brain work or you are really practical: bricky, plaster, sparky, plumber. The jobs that cannot be down skilled by AI. AI is going to kill paid employment. UBI contentious from an environmental point of view. Until money is abolished and we move to carbon credits. Global population is going to drop and we cannot continue to pollute the planet as we are? People and GBnews are addressing what unfolds in the next 10 years. It's not very honest really.

    It's always people who have never struggled that talk about this. The whole idea of welfare was created is because working class people were literally starving to death in one of the richest countries ever! To say it's because people don't want to work, is to say people are willing to starve to death than work. Which is ridiculous!

    When I was under the job centre, one of the great things was most jobs were under one place. When you look for work on your own you are never to going to find most jobs and miss out of most opportunities.

    The number one thing that needs changing about the benefits system is providing more financial help to those when they get back into work and or are working low income jobs. It is a disgrace that you can be poorer while working than not working! They calculate your in work benefits down to how much you would be on benefits but you obviously have to pay for travel and other expenses which leaves many trapped with the options of staying on benefits (which is horrible) or becoming even poorer just to work. That's always been the issue. People want to work and they don't want to starve but the system is set up to punish those who work instead of helping them make work affordable.

    Stop bashing people like they don't want to work. This is purely an elitist over privileged way of thinking!
