If they could find job why were they on benefits, they dont have the right to live taxpayers.

What he means is, people are no longer considered unemployed (in the stats) if they are not on benefits (sanctioned or terminated)
-
Clearly there is a reason they don't need benefits though as in they are fit to work. Nothing comes free in life
-
Usually they want to work but can't find work and are sanctioned for being late to sign on or not applying to jobs unqualified for. Petty.
-
Come on there are plenty of jobs about.
-
Please mate. You don't know everyone circumstances. It isn't as simple as applying and getting a job. That is not what life is.
-
That's very true im 18 and have very little life experience. I still however believe people should not live beyond there own means.

It didn't fall... Half those people are on 'work courses ' or zero hours.. Look at the system and stop arse licking the Tory's
-
Or sanctioned which takes them off JSA stats if over a month

-
Exactly.. Corbyn plans to instantly scrap the whole sanction regime .. Takes the piss that stats class sanctions as employed people ,):0

If Lab had sense they would set up stalls outside benefit offices & job centers. Get these folk engaged, informed & registered to vote.

They don't need to, everybody already knows Labour's the party for people who don't want to contribute just take
Down with the nasty rich! -
Not sure what ur on about. Most welfare goes on pensions & folk IN WORK. Asking top 5% for a little extra is only fair. They wont notice it.
-
That's quite an assumption! Should I help myself to things if I think people won't notice?
-
Yes if its things they fucking stole from you in the first place..

BBC BIAS BREAKING NEWS: UK Unemployment falls by 53,000 as 53,000 zero hours contracts created to fudge official figures in favour of Tories
-
Numbers are ONS, not BBC's? Take it up with them if you don't like it.
-
It's very difficult to argue with the ONS, too. They're extremely thorough.
-
Ironically the same office that Leavers use to quote immigration figures
When they quote unemployment figures they're wrong of course.. -
The extreme left and extreme right will always try to perform mental gymnastics to debunk any figures they don't like, regardless of facts.
-
Agreed. Bizarre similarity between left & right dismissing facts (& blaming the BBC
) to suit. -
Im not disputing the numbers, my comment relates to the Tory positive/Labour negative bias spin that is prevalent at the BBC.
-
They're actually being relatively balanced right now. I've just looked at the live report and it has two 1/2
