I have always thought that if you are on jobseekers for more than say 3 months, you should be made to do some kind of labour to earn your keep, otherwise for some people there is just no incentive for them to get off their backsides and earn a living

There is, or was.

I was signing on when I was 18 and after three months I had 3 placement options to choose from.

I choose one and it lead to 2yrs full time employment. For the first three months I was paid minimum wage then I was taken on full time.
