They handed the reporter loads of food without checking whether or not he was on JSA. Simple questioning would have started with "can I see your JSA sign-on book please?"."it's people like Jim, Jim MacDonald, who keep me going,"

After asking for details of how much Jobseekers’ Allowance was received, the assessor’s questions turned to the dietary requirements of the reporter and his family."it's people like Jim, Jim MacDonald, who keep me going,"

Really demanding I define this and that and questioning my background is pointless diversion, and I really can't be arsed to get drawn into it given that you come across as an intellectually lazy deliberately contrarian troll.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you.

Originally posted by doodab View PostI would have thought given I referred to "people in low wage jobs are struggling to make ends meet" you could have put two and two together there. The point is that there are clearly people who are a) poor and b) not claiming JSA.

I have struggled, particularly when growing up when we were well into the bottom 5-10% of the population economically speaking. Not that my background is any of your business or has any bearing on whether or not there are people who are struggling to make ends meet now.

Don't be so lazy. If you need to know what "poor" means look in a dictionary. Even an idiot should be able to deduce that "working poor" means someone who is both working and poor. Really, if you can't be bothered to think even slightly before posting moronic responses then I'm not going to bother.
And then you write the following:
This is relevant how exactly? I don't really want to know anything about you. The impression you create is that of a lazy troll and that's enough to put me off.
Good luck with your life.
P.S. and after insulting me, you then have the wierdness to 'like' my posts? As Peter Jones would say: "I'm out"...sorry guys.Last edited by Brian Potter; 20 April 2014, 23:39."it's people like Jim, Jim MacDonald, who keep me going,"
