Bakeries. Painting and decorating. Building and plastering.
Hair dressing. Gardening and small hold farming. Carpentry and cabinet making. Glass blowing.
And those not immediately capable of work, would get access to counseling and addiction therapy.

I think rather we need to counsel the government. Take a look at British Volt if you want an example of how your idea worked in practice. |

I would suggest that you're being a tad generous. I think people who are fit enough to claim out of work benefits should give 'something' in return. Jonksy suggested street cleaning and litter clearance, which is an excellent idea. Of course Labour and lefties would be outraged, but I really cant see a problem with people who are claiming out of work benefits giving a little bit back to the local community. |

In the United States, at least in California, it's not uncommon to see gangs of inmates from the County Jail picking up litter and rubbish on the verges of freeways.

Unfortunately not everyone is as public-spirited as you, Baron. Let he who has never flicked a fag end or chucked an apple core out the car window cast the first stone.

If only Dan could have thought of a replacement for the word 'stone' that was pithy and litter related
The joke is unfinished until we get further input from another great mind. We stand of the shoulders of giants.

Atleast apple cores are environmentally friendly. The birds would peck on it and after a while the insects would finish it off and then the plants would be fertilised by it. |

Look at this tosser Red. How the fuck can someone who is supposedly disabled and requires 24/7 care be fit enough to swan off to Florida?
Disabled man forced to pay back £50k he had saved for Florida holiday from council payments to fund his care.

Disabled man forced to pay back £50k he had saved for Florida holiday from council payments to fund his care. That's incredible, it's not just the fact that someone who is receiving £11k a month in benefits can save enough to fly off to Florida, but what the hell is the local authority playing at? Are there any checks to see where benefits money is being spent? Or would that be against his human rights? Can you imagine how many times this is repeated up & down the country. Just had a quick shufty - in 2024, 22.6 million people will claim £81 billion in benefits of some sort. Could this be why millions of illegals are desperate to cross the channel... |

Sounds good.
Joseph Michael Arpaio was the Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona and he had all local villains and alkies and such cleaning the streets and working on the county farms.The electorate was delighted and voted him into office for 24 years where Joe proclaimed that he was America's toughest sheriff. The image was dented somewhat when the prisoners started cheering him on sight. They were bored shit less and were happy to have something to do. This resulted in a BBC documentary where Arpaio rode on a horse past a prison work party that was supposed to be broken and all the rest of it. Unfortunately they roared Good old Joe ! and cheered him to the echo  |

I seem to remember prisoners complaining about tented accommodation (Behind razer wire fences) being too hot in the summer, and sheriff Joe saying as he trotted past on his horse, hey you committed the crime. I don't remember the inmates having much time for him, it's been a long time I may be wrong, but I definately remember the people of Maricopa County absolutely loved him for his strict no nonsense approach to crime and punishment. |

I think you people on this thread are sadistic. It makes you happy when you see someone being punished. You can end up very twisted if you allow the evil press to train you into a full-on sadist.
