Unemployed

Subscribe to Unemployed feed
It’s the unemployed who are the forgotten victims & who seem to be demonised, patronised & blamed for unemployment within the wider media. In 1995 Labour shadow ministers did give clear indications, if elected, they would tackle some of the worse parts of JSA. They gave assurances & intention to make “speedy and far reaching reforms to eliminate the worse excesses” Not scrapping the "Job Seekers Allowance" is Labours’ Betrayal!
