AS a mother looking for employment, I have to complete a job seeker's diary, maintain a universal job account and attend reviews.

Walking through Westfield I have noticed people sleeping on the sofas. I know most have fled from poor countries, which is sad, but are they being guided? Do they attend further education or are they left to sleep and not achieve anything?

    “They are probably the ones who sit on the steps of the old Syn nightclub on Colyear street drinking, then peeing in the doorway of the one next door. After a hard mornings drinking they need a rest where it is warm, hence the sofas in Wastefield. They are not dragged in for interviews about jobs, or threatened with sanctions I see them walk out of the social security office at the bottom of my street with their giro clutched in their hands, to be spent on more alcohol. Then tomorrow they will pick up another one.

    I hope you find work soon but I am pretty annoyed that you have to jump through hoops to collect your jobseekers allowance yet these wasters are paid daily because they drink. They could have done that in their own country but then they wouldn't be given any money to do it.”

    “They were probably the dross and no-hopers from other counties who paid a Mr Fix-it to get them here. They came because Mr Fix-it told them that the streets are paved with gold.
    Ah well - I suppose they add to the "Foot-fall" statistics for Westfield.

    Good luck.”
