I’m in a wheelchair so the jobs these morons sent me to where Brick laying, taxi driving, painter decorator, for god sake I’m in a wheelchair, then they sent me to do jobs I knew I could not do because of the education, Doctors receptionist. Doctors medical records six years experience needed.

then i was sent back to the jobs center and i was desperate to work, nothing, now I’ve been told to stay away. until jobs comes available.

So where are these jobs that labours going to make well they said picking up litter, my council already employs people for this cleaning graffiti again already employed so where are the jobs. It’s another of browns dreams
