Was at a rainbow forum last year that called for a ban on hate speech. The host venue was a church whose founding article of faith included denouncing the pope as the Antichrist. Could not work out from Google if and when they backed away from that unkind accusation.

Penni Ha’penny You have probably cherry-picked figures out of context. At any one time possibly 10% of beneficiaries ARE working full-time – on temporary jobs for a week or a month – and it has to be declared and no benefit received for those weeks. Temporary work is all some people can get. About a third aren’t looking for work? If true, this could well be the number of people who hav , in a governmental sleight of hand, been shifted from Sickness and Invalid Benefits onto Jobseeker with Medical Exemption – the dole, but with no requirement to look for work. Because you can’t work. Ridiculous system.
Wouldn’t these police investigations be the fruit of a poisonous tree?
