    Default Job Seekers to Pick Up Litter

    Benefit claimants could be forced to pick up litter and clean graffiti under plans to be unveiled by ministers.

    The Welfare Green Paper is expected to include proposals to force those unemployed for more than two years to work full-time in the community.

    Work and Pensions Secretary James Purnell said the plans for England and Wales would "transform lives".

    The Conservatives have said they have suggested the ideas before and will support the plans in parliament.

    Reserving judgement

    This shake-up will apply to all 4.5m people on out-of-work benefits, but is expected to impact most on those on Jobseekers Allowance.

    Under plans laid out in the Green Paper, claimants will have to carry out four weeks' community work once they have been unemployed for more than a year.

    After two years, they will be ordered to work full-time.

    Incapacity Benefit claimants will all move to the new Employment Support Allowance by 2013, which ministers hope will be regarded, for all but the most disabled people, as a temporary benefit.

    Check out the rest of the post on the BBC news pages:-

    Ouch bet there are going to be plenty of people moaning about that and lots of clean streets.


    WHAT DO YOU THINK?

    How would you feel about haveing to work full-time picking up litter for £52 a week ?

    lets be fair here.

    some people claim job seekers alowance to support them selfs while they try to find employment..... these people are good people trying to better them selfs (hats off to em)

    the people we are talking about are in fact 'JOBDODGERS' and should be known as such..

    and i do belive that the 'jobdodgers' should be forced to do something.. anything.. for the money 'we' pay em

    possibly for use in nuclear bomb testing? or have i gone too far? lol
