"there are such VAST numbers of the VOLUNTARILY unemployed..." Pure guesswork & speculation, and until such time as there are enough jobs to go around, we will never find out who they are! The current rules allow withdrawal of benefits to those who turn jobs down, thats nothing new. I've no problem with the principle of re-assesmant of the disabled and transfering them onto JSA, but its being done to save money at a time when many of them will never get jobs, and the current level of JSA is too low for householders to live on long term, it should be increased to a level of decency. 2.7m unemployed (probably 4m including the to-be transfered disabled) most wanting to work & 475,000 vacancies - & a lot of those are not proper jobs! Nahh...your not in the real world on this one!
