Should the area in which one lives determine the amount of unemployment benefit a claimant should receive? I don't think this latest government idea will go down too well with a certain section of the population.

I really hope you're not on a fishing trip and preparing to make your usual idiotic statement about JSA claimants.
To answer your question, no regional benefits won't work and are a bad idea. How would you measure the difference accurately enough to ensure it was fair ? Food and utility costs are virtually the same across the country anyway. The only benefit that could possibly be considered would be housing benefit and even then I would expect it to cost more to work out than it would save.

I think they should all receive the same: nothing, and be forced to get a job like normal people.

And what if they can't get one? Do they starve? You can't "force" someone to get a job - you can only force an employer to give them one - if you have the political will, which our politicians haven't.

or at worst case ....work for dole , ie you get your rent paid and 80 quid a week as long as you are working at whatever you are asked to do , this has to be across the board however which brings us perilously close to communism doesn't it...??

Interesting to hear a radio phone in this morning about the NatWest computer fiasco and the horrendous situation that many customers found themselves in being unable to access funds, pay bills and receive payments. Then someone on benefits rang in to complain that their 'giro' hadn't been processed by the NatWest either, so they were skint. My first reaction was not another something for nothing scrounger so tough s**t, but on reflection I didn't know their predicament and recognised they are clearly dependent on this payment getting processed on time, so I should have some sympathy for their plight and redirect my ire towards the bank instead. So I hope the Board of NatWest get hammered for this.
The banks really aren't doing much to gain any public understanding at the moment.

Not all, but a fair proportion.
And I assume you'd both stick to this view even if YOU lost your job, were struggling to get a new one and had no income ?
If there are jobs that need doing people should get a living wage for doing them.
Let's see the evidence then ?

Sexy Pete... :D
nice to see the chunts out in force this afternoon...
And how do you plan on doing that?
According to the latest official figures released by the Office of National Statistics in January, the UK has around 400,000 jobs on offer. There are also a substantial number of people chasing those jobs. The official count of unemployed people – anyone who is actively looking for work and is available to start immediately if hired – is 2.68 million.
Please, do enlighten me.

It is crazy that, under the new proposals, someone aged 24 that has worked full time since the age of 18, contributing taxation each month towards the housing benefit bill for a solid six years isn't entitled to claim from the pot if he is suddenly made redundant.

Have you ever taken a walk down Boundary Road?
OBVIOUSLY there are genuine cases for unemployment, sickness, disability, redundancy etc, but there are STACKS of low lives (half of my wife's family for a start) who are quite happy to sit on their arse and watch Jeremy Kyle while popping kids out, knowing that everything is paid for.

hospital cleaning/maintenance ,civic buildings in general.........maintaining railway thoroughfares , licking golf courses clean ,litter picking up of, clearing seaweed off the beach........you can say they should get a living wage , what do you call a living wage........i worked 40 hours a week on a yts when i left school for 25 quid a week ..is that a living wage ....
and that was f***ing 25 years ago . i think your rent paid and 80 quid a week is more than fair, but that's just me.Safeway

Nice. How about you attempt to put forward a constructive argument rather than resort to pathetic name-calling just because you don't agree with something?
