I think the conservative government are taking away our liberties with their approach. I am currently ill and I have been on incapacity benefit - and I still need it. I just want to be left alone to get better and get a job that I 'really' want to do. David Cameron is trying to force people off sickness benefit and force them to do any old job - just so that he can get people off sickness benefit. What rubbish is that..? So, if you are a highly skilled professional, then it means you've got to work in a factory or clean toilets..? I am highly educated and skilled, but my time off work will make it hard to get the work I used to do - because people are just prejudiced and bigoted in the market that I am trained in. What is David Cameron gonna do about that..? Does he think that people will suddenly walk into the jobs they want..? No, that's why he wants to just get people of sickness benefits and force them to do any job, just any excuse to get you off the benefits that you REALLY need. I am not a benefit sponger or scrounger......I have 2 university degrees and certifications and some experience....before I got ill with chronic depression. I don't need the crappy help of government to get a job, because I know what job and career I want to follow. The government schemes at job centres are always pathetic for graduates like me. They waste your time and are only suitable for illiterate and under-achievers, degenerates, etc. I don't need help to write a CV. What I need is real help to get the job that I want and know. I want a government official to sit with me in an job interview to check that I am not asked any prejudiced questions and unfair questions regarding my illness and time off work. I want the government to get me back to work with a personalised approach and real help. People like me should be getting paid compensation for the years I spent at university to better my life and provide to society. I think the UK is slowly becoming communist with this new conservative-liberal government. Forcing people into 'any' work is what the communists did and that is happening now in the UK. What next...?

What a load of self-pitty based nonsense.

So the government should pay for your tuition fees, then not get any money back because you never went to work and then provide you with compensation for not getting the job you'd like?! Where do you think this money would come from?

And where do you think this money comes from to pay to keep you going whilst you sit and think about what job you'd really like to do? I do a job that I don't particularly enjoy becuase I have no right stealing taxpayers money until I am happy in the perfect job. What makes you more special than the millions of other Britons that have to work in less than ideal job placements?

If you are genuinely ill and on incapacity benefit then you won't be forced off of it! If you are too ill to work then you wont have to. But if you are well enough to get a job then you will have to do what every other sensible person has to do, and find a job! And you aren't even happy with that! You want the government to help find you a job then sit in the interview with you!

People have got to get away from the view that government is there to wipe your backside!

Nobody is being forced to work. You can sit around all day every typing nonsense like your first post if you so desire. It's just that government (eg the rest of us) will not pay for your sloth. Simple really.

What I love is the selectivity. Government must pay me, must sit in an interview and protect me from difficult questions, must love me and care for me for who and what I am and pay for who and what I am until the day I die.
But they must not compel me to work. A government large enough to give you everything you want is large enough to take it all away.

Errrrrrr welcome to the forum anyway

Comrade Max - while it is no cure for depression (and, indeed, some types of singularly unfulfilling employment may aggravate the problem), it's often therapeutic to be doing something. Have you, f'rinstance, thought of voluntary work?

This is just a wind up, somebody aleady on here trying to spice things up under an alias...
