I AM an unemployed single person trying to live on £70 a week, wondering where the next money for heat and water will come from.

Now, I’m having my money stopped for not searching for enough jobs: only eight in two weeks, instead of ten jobs per day.

If the jobs aren’t there, I can’t apply for them, but they stop my money anyway.

It's all right for them, they can go home to a nice fire and probably a glass of wine. So, do they care if you're threatened with eviction? No, but they've got £60 billion to spend on a train system that nobody wants.

They say "oh, it's for the good of the country" – what country it is, I don’t know. It certainly isn’t Britain.

The fat cats get fatter and the unemployed get thinner.

I can complain until I’m blue in the face, but will it pay the bills? I don’t think so.
