It seems that memo comes from a think tank, well I can think up this and that just like everyone else on here and we don't get paid for it.

Well one figure is due to a person I know who has now been sanctioned for not turning up to a course he was put on for three months. Reason he failed to attend was due too the bus braking down. So he will not be on the figures for a while.

Yeah, I'd like to see the latest unemployment sanctions figures but Nov last year is the latest I can find.

Sanctions can be grossly unfair but sadly, sometimes necessary and warranted.

I'd like to see an independent body responsible for them but that would obviously cost more money than what would be 'saved'.

Theresa May has accused Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn of being "not up to the job" and "incapable of leading".

How could she think such a thing? :o

I see that UKIP and its Euro-sceptic allies are making sure not to take or inappropriately spend any of that dirty EU money.

The EU is bad, terrible, but I'll have some of that free money thank you. :up:

Most likely eventually end up at the door of the European Court of Justice.

Meanwhile.......

Egads...I think I'll stick with Rage Against The Machine.

Silly season has started, thank goodness I will have nothing to do with it.

Most fitting :)

Diane James has decided to quit her role as UKIP leader even more strongly by quitting the entire party.

Organised chaos would be a polite descriptive term for what UKIP are demonstrating atm.

And a whole lot more besides.

Most definitely.

Apart from the raising of the National Minimum Wage from £7.20 to £7.5 next April I thought the autumn statement was pretty much a 'non-event'.

Thomas Mair has been jailed for life (a wqhole life term) after being found guilty of the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox.

Tis a crying shame the death penalty isn't available for such crimes when the guilt of someone is beyond any and all doubt.

Missed it, got better things to do that watch that waffle. Always takes a few more days for the experts to crunch the numbers.

Scum like that should be strung up but as we have no capital punishment I hope he rots in prison.

On a lighter note about Trumps tweet about Farage, the amount of *jerks* getting hot under the coller about nothing clearly need to lay off the strong coffee for a while. :03:
