In return we offered gave her leads to work on a self-employed basis for one or two of our clients. She has now taken on other work and is working more of less full-time on a self-employed basis.

Dear Prime Minister The RT. Hon. David Cameron, MP.
I wish to ask you a Question:- "Is This True?"
I refer to the Pension Reality Check.
Are you aware of the following ?
The British Government provides the following financial assistance:-
BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER (bearing in mind they worked hard and paid their Income Tax and National Insurance contributions to the British Government all their working life)
Weekly allowance: £106.00?
IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN (No Income Tax and National Insurance contribution whatsoever)
Weekly allowance: £250.00
BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER Weekly Spouse Allowance: £25.00?
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN Weekly Spouse Allowance: £225.00
BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER Additional Weekly Hardship Allowance: £0.00?
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN Additional Weekly Hardship Allowance: £100.00
A British old age pensioner is no less hard up than an illegal immigrant/refugee yet receives nothing
BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT £6,000?
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT: £29,900
Please read all and then forward to all your contacts so that we can lobby for a decent state pension.
After all, the average pensioner has paid taxes and contributed to the growth of this country for the last 40 to 60 years.
Sad isn't it? Surely it's about time we put our own people first.
Please have the guts to forward this.
I JUST DID!
Did that email originate in a tanning shop in Luton?

You make it sound like overtime is some sort of right.

I'm not sure how widely this was repeated nationwide, but our local Tesco used this free labour instead of hiring the usual extra staff over the Xmas period. So in this case at least it cost actual jobs rather than overtime for existing staff. A double loss for the taxpayer.

I must admit I am strongly against anyone being forced to work in order to claim their benefits, and to be perfectly honest I don't really agree with this scheme either, but I can see the positives of it whereas others only see negatives. Having rafts of temporary staff in and out of work does no more for the taxpayer than improving the employability of the long term unemployed.
