Also, as I said earlier, when my dad in law advertised a job (only 8 hours a week) he got over 150 applicants. But sure...these people who are actually trying to get work dont exist and everyone unemployed is just a scrounger

everyone healthy who isnt working is a scrounger, period....you can apply for driving badges, psv license, de , bus licenses, forklift, taxi lcense costs around £80 and takes just 3 weeks, then rent a taxi or go work for a firm, theres always vacancies... theres . I have vacancies advertised every day, the applicants are mind biggling, the majority immediately refuse to work weekends, many refuse to work nights, some refuse to pick up people off the streets, others refuse to drive vehicles over 5 years old, the list goes on and on...Ive even had some apply for driving jobs, who have no drivers licsense

the official figure of 500,000 is the number of full time jobs officially advertised, many of these companies have multiple vacancies and most always have exta jobs for part time vacancies..

theres a million and one other ways too to get work, turn up at restaiurants, hotels, garages, small businesses, speak to the bosses direct. that extra effort impresses bosses and shows this person is serious and is ambitious to work.

if i was desperate for work Id get a part time job doing anything, caring jobs are rife, theres loads of vacancies, especially weekend work, these jobs are rife....you can clean, care, you can offer garden clearance, old people everywhere struggle with the endless rules of rubbish disposal, gardening work too, removal work, all you need is an empty van.....you could even just turn up at a valet centre and offer yourself....if you need income you will do anything.....these workless chavs always seem to find money for booze and cigarettes and many drug deal too....their priorities are a disgrace...they need to stop hiding behind excuses and blaming everyone else...they need to find some self respect and ambition and go to work
