I,Daniel Blake

i lived it - the unemployment offices should be shut down. Leave the consoles. the internet connection. Stop appointments with the robots that pretend to be advisers. Stop all 'sanctions'. Kafkaesque is a mild description of what they do to people.
Building Hell as a project. Each year it continues it gets worse. Like a cancer.

I am very sorry you went through this Zorro

We disagree on here, but you seem a nice man to me

I know a few in this position where I live.

Ken Loach makes powerful raw films.

"Should be mandatory viewing"
Or else what?

facts will put you over his knee and spank your bare buttocks




AGAIN

Back in the Day you went in, there were cards up for Jobs ,card taken to Advisor ,who then Phoned the Employer ,you went along for interview ,Seemed a very easy system to me  ..

I agree case

Now we Have Credit Checks, Criminal Checks ,and Proof you are British

We do

The current system is so difficult for some, they do not make a claim at all. I know two, there are many more.

In fact that is one of the reason's it has been made so difficult, to discourage people claiming, in my opinion.

A lot of this has happened since the Credit Crunch, as a country, we are broke.

In fact a lot of the World is broke.

My own opinion.

now you are asked to apply to jobs that don't exist. If you don't apply. you are sanctioned.
they text your phone with an appointment time. if you miss your text, or it's sent to another phone by mistake you are sanctioned. Two weeks money. Basically they knock you off the register for any reason. It's harassment. They've made it all computerized. You log into an account online like Betfair and you keep a record of all your job searches into a database.

Now... the facts... there are no jobs at the jobcentre. It's all illusion. the jobs are at the job agencies. You can get a job by giving a percentage to the agency.

Have you seen the film zorro ?

Is this the one about the lady in the dole office and the guy stands up and says she can go before me?

I seen a clip

texting phones can easily be avoided

you are not permitted to give them a mobile number and no one should be made to carry a mobile phone

if you miss your text, or it's sent to another phone by mistake you are sanctioned. Two weeks money

Zorro is this happens claim hardship allowance i have been on the dole i am not just talking p1sh

Also on your site dirct gov i suppose your talking about

If you read the rules you don't even have to give them permission to look into it.You can make it viewable to job roach or not and they only have the authority to look in where you are there.But they will make it look as though you have to give them all access which you don't.I will find the rules online.I never had to use any tactics as my JC was not that bad but i here it's bad now but still they can't blag a gambler can they.

Yes, Chaser,that's the film. With your experiences you will really resonate with this film. It's heartbreaking. Try and see it if you can.

immigrants are taking all the jobs, does Ken Loach mention this?
if not he can **** off

i don`t understand that theory, and its pretty clear neither do you so.
I don't want to know everything, and I am not curious to know what relevance that has.

Go and see the film, before you make stupid ignorant statements ( as is your want)

everyone wants to buy and sell. One person sells what he`s bought for a higher price and buys something else with the profit.
Someone else buys back the sold item from the buyer at a loss so that he can sell it somewhere else for more.

Then maybe he slaps himself on the head and calls himself a fool.

All anyone does is trade, what would schrodinger make of that?

I have just seen Mark Kermode review it on BBC and i cant wait to see it,i will never forget the 2 months that i claimed jobs seekers allowance and i had to deal with a right little Hitler.

Sadly we don't live in the world of Quantum Physics where cats can be both dead or alive at the same time.

The more people looking for a job, the less chance any one person has of getting a job. We need less people in this country

not more.

The Credit Crunch is the cause, compared to 2008 my town centre looks like it has been through a war, so many big shops have closed as

well as companies on the industrial estate.

People at the bottom feel the squeeze the most, sadly they always do

I think that should dead and alive at the same time

one thing is for sure no one should worry about finding a job.

there are  so many of them.

which one to choose? I don't know that is the problem.

perhaps we should look in the box and ask schrodinger, he might know.

My sisterinlaw used to work for a job centre near Wigan,one day an out of work father walked in with his young son he pointed out everthing in the room and said "One day son all this will be yours" he got a big laugh.Hope things worked out for him he deserves it with that sense of humour.

Guess Facts has been busy stocking up at the hardware store on razor wire fences &
other security bits to keep the newly arrived guests at bay.

lets see if Facts changes his tune once they start inflicting awful crime on the
residents of Devon

Just seen it and feel it should have been a lot lot better.....I claimed Job Seekers for about a Month and i was treated like a third class Citizen.....If you think that was how it was......That was nowhere near it.

I saw it and unashamedly shed a tear, it is a very emotional film. I will never watch it again though.

It's a comedy right?

The part where the woman opens a tin of tomatoes in the food bank and starts eating them with her hand made me burst out laughing.

Unfortunately Ken's films have never done it for me, yet the sentiment resonates, as it should for all.
The problem is on a number of levels, not least the acting that is wooden and the situation so contrived it's daft.
For eg. I understand that the portrayal of the state run system make its subjects look like autotrons that have a set agenda and script to read from....but where the woman breaks away from her duties to attempt to help Daniel work a computer ( who himself has 40 years life experience but still runs a mouse up a screen) and gets a dressing down from her superior was too much like 1984, though I guess that was its point.
But however bad the system is (which it unquestionably is) it is so because it's impossible to cater for all parties all the time under all circumstances.
There is a dynamic at play, on the one hand people need to be given support and on the other they need to defend against the human instinct of many to take too much. The question of there being a shortfall monetarily that creates a burden upon the uneducated, ill informed or generally less able individuals is prevalent, in no small part because people have been allowed to rape egregious profits under the premis of aspiration. But compare the realities of now to those of the time of the industrial revolution. The invention of the machines plunged huge numbers into abject poverty, with no wealth fare state to fall back upon, yet now we have to for some reason deny a rising water level of lost trades and required skills.

The question should be; is the state meaningfully creating hardship upon certain catagories of people?
If we say yes then we need to act to fix a system that has gone too far with the stick.
If however we conclude that there is no such thing as utopia then we can expect to have to fight for ourselves rather than exist with a belief of expectancy.

Not exactly "The Full Monty" then, I take it?
