poppy is on a distinguished road
Default Re: 'Work for dole' proposals leaked

I think it is an excellent idea.
I should like to point out that not all long term unemployed are lazy bastards. I know some who work voluntarily in the community and work more hours per week than the average factory worker.
One friend who hasn't been able to get work ( there are reasons) for over three years, works full time unpaid in the towns community centre Cafe and in the internet room. Then on Friday nights when others are on the town, turns out on patrol, with the street angels.
She does all this because she thinks it only right.
Why should others just doss around?
Bring it in and quick.
