Graduate takes DWP to court

[captain cojones]

I was speaking to an English girl here last Saturday.

 

She was pregnant with twins on the way she said. She apparently arrived here at 17 years old, and was now about 28 i would say.

 

She told me that she was returning to the UK to have the kids, "because of the money i can get in benefits".

She had been working here, but illegally, and of course had paid no social security contributions.

From her age it is pretty certain she would have paid nothing in the UK either.

 

As ive mentioned before, you only get benefits here if you have been a contributor, and what you get out is directly related to your contribution record.

 

She had been told by the authorities that she was entitled to nothing, so is by now back with you lot i expect.

 

Enjoy her company. :lol:

Wont make any difference Bazza, they still wont get anything. They wont even get Spanish nationality.

 

They wont even give that unless one of the parents has Spanish nationality.

 

(the father was British as well apparently) Dont know what he was doing, she said she wasn't married.

[Now there's a right un.]

As I see it.

 

If a Graduate is forced into accepting employment it should at least be in the field she studied.

This gives her practical experience and keeps her abilities sharp.

Working for poundland will give her no experience whatsoever. Most of the people I see in my local Poundland are morons.

 

This system is no better than the YTS in the 1980's, which surprise surprise was a Conservative creation.

Often people worked for companies who had no interest in training and just required cheap labour.

I earned £27.50 for a 40 hour week going upto £35 in the second year.

When my YTS ended not one employer had provided me with any skills.

 

I had to re-enter the workplace at 18 with no skills from 2 years YTS and compete with better skilled candidates.

 

In one job my only task was to price up birthday cards, eight long hours a day.

In another, where I was supposed to learn book keeping skills, I was required only to place business cards in phoneboxes within an 8 mile radius of me employer.

 

I hope she wins.

She's a geology graduate and last time I checked, nowhere near Birmingham is exactly at the sharp end of the oil or mining industry.

Come to think of it, if she was claiming in Birmingham, she is supposedly looking for work in Birmingham - With a geology degree! FFS!

 

Just another burger flipper in waiting.

Absolutely. My No 1 daughter is a geology graduate also. Crowborough is not at the sharp end of the oil industry either.

 

Which is why she works in geological research at the University of Texas and is doing very nicely thank you.

 

Norman Tebbit's advice of "on yer bike" was sound - it's extraordinary that he was vilified for saying so.

I wonder if her being forced to work for benefits contravenes the minimum wage act probably not
