    BUT YOU'RE NOT INVITED!!

    This 'free lunch' is one of many where managers at the job
    centre, agencies and industry can get together and dine for
    free while we are left to survive on Aldis baked beans.

    Not Enough Money!

    We are constantly told that there is not enough money to
    pay for pensions and benefits but there seems to be plenty to -
    spend on war, MPs pay rises and quail's eggs. They are now telling us they do not have enough money to pay the people in the job centres and that all claims will be dealt with at a faceless call centre.

    Helping The Unemployed!

    The public face of the Job Centre, Colleges and other agencies is that they are there to help the unemployed. In fact their role is to provide employers with a stream of able and 'willing' workers so that fat cats can enjoy their massive pay rises while keeping the wages of the workers at minimum wage levels. On top of this many of the large employers get paid millions for taking on people under New Deal.

    Unemployment - Big Business!

    A whole industry has arisen out of the needs of the unemployed. Endless projects arise and disappear and big money is to be made out of providing course to 'help us' back to work. With nearly £800 million being spent on New Deal every year, us - the claimants - don't see a penny of it or get the chance to find out what the fuck Tapinade on Crostini are!

    Norwich Anarchists




    Having only just been informed of this 'free lunch', the above leaflet was quickly put togethor and handed out at the job centre in Norwich today. The general consensus was 'We hope they choke on it'!

    Managers and staff were quick to threaten that the police would be called if two activists didn't refrain from handing the leaflets out, as they were intimidating and annoying members of the public.

    We were quick to point out that the looks of anger on peoples faces and comments of 'we should string the bastards up' were directed at them and not us!

    Five hundred leaflets were distributed.

    ok I can see both sides here, while I totally whole heartedly agree this is a waste of money, good money that could be spent wisely. New Deal also need to get business to take them seriously, if they are seen to be able to play on a buiness market then employers also take them seriously, I know its shit but my dad used to work for new deal and yes they have shit policies like this but they also help alot of people, and I guess in there eyes they couldnt do this unless they are taken seriously. But I repeat I am not advocating this behavior and personally would rather see the people on the new deal courses having the lunch at least they would appreciate it.

    ok Zonk, I can see your point here and I'm not saying it's not valid but quite frankly there are bigger things 'lefties' in general could be spending their time on, you really want to make a difference? Go somewhere and help someone who needs help, dont tell the people who don't need help that their bad people, they can live with that already and you'll only be a minor irritation to their lives, go and help someone who really needs it, you'll be a malor help to their lives instead, it's more productinve and you feel better about yourself for having done it, even if the feeling good about yourself isn't important to you it gives you the strength to go and help another person which is important to them...



    please excuse my brevity and agressive attutude today, having a bit of a bad one...

    Considering I don't know you and don't recall ever meeting you and would naturally deduce from that that you don't have a clue what I do in my daily life or anything about me that would warrant such a fuckspud and dipshit load of patronising wank......

    You can stick your comment where the sun dont shine.

    And im having a good day.;)
