Donning my flame retardant underwear - though note I'm not for the current scheme, but the principal is sensible.
Working for unemployment benefits makes sense to me - provided that the "wage" is fair for the hours and skills. Eg. £90 a week job sellers could equal 15 hours of charity work?
Taking into account disabilities, childcare and other responsibilities I really don't think its unfair to provide people with jobs to earn the equivalent of benefits?
I do think its wrong to line the pockets of corporations, reduce jobs for other workers etc but surely charity work is an option?
I think I've probably missed some huge glaring point but AIBU?
(NOTE: I have previously been in reciept of JSA and would happily have done 15 hours a week and had plenty of time to job search)
