Pick up for victory

by MarkJT @ 22/07/2008 - 23:32:47

In an effort to get the unemployed and disabled back to work, the Government has announced that in order to claim benefits claimants must, at the very least, spend 4 hours a day picking up litter in order to get paid. Wheelchair claimants will have special spikes fixed to their wheels.

My walking stick is metal, they'll have to find some way of attaching the spike to it ... riveted?

Can you also blow poison darts through it?

Only if they'll throw in a free travel pass wi' the rent rebate :>>

Sounds like a Sci-Fi story featuring a fascistic state!

i think wheelchair users should have to undergo speed trials and driving tests to prove their competence and that they genuinely need to use them.

anyone found cheating would be killed.

that is all.

The long term sick make up a fair number of unemployed so this is (so not) bound to work. I'd love to see how they propose to get the agoraphobics out there picking up litter.

Utter rubbish. Excuse pun.
