The "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign was stolen by thieves would you believe. A4e
staff say they will get inmates to make up a new one ASAP with sellotape,
and it will be laminated this time.

The motto Arbeit Macht Frei translates as "Do As I Say Or You Will Be
Sanctioned" "or you will be off the course? something like that. Is a stark
reminder of what to expect from the Taliban UK government.

Are you trying to be insulting or does it simply come naturally to
you?

Forcing the unemployed into concentration camps is about as insulting as it
gets, then again forcing them into concentration camps to make them perform
mindless and demeaning tasks is probably more insulting. Some might say the
icing on the cake has to be the BS CV's dictated by the retards who run
these camps is the last straw.

Most of the unemployed don't stay unemployed long enough to have to go
to "concentration camps". It's just reserved for the long term useless.

Whilst I see some humour in your remarks you should understand that the
majority of people do not see ANY humour in the forced labour and murder
of millions of men women and children.

Comparing what might be a boring waste of a day/week with A4e to the
forced labour and murder of millions is of course just plain stupid.
Where A4e courses run like a concentration camp you'd be dead.

I can understand Niteawk's reluctance to quote the real translation, "Work
makes you free", it would go a bit against the grain, even if it would be
very appropriate for him, and his dealings with the DWP and A4e :-)

Niteawk should just go self employed, 16 hours and he could claim HB /
CTB, up it to 30 hours and he would get tax credits. Martin has told him
this time and time again. It's like talking to a brick wall though.

I suppose being bored to death does not count then, they are actually trying
to kill people by making it unbearable, forcing them to leave because they
cant take the mental cruelty any longer, which means no money to live on.
That is attempted murder IMO.

One slight problem with that plan, I think you have to show some form of
income if you are self employed. It is a good idea in theory. Walk into the
JC and tell them you want to sign off as you have just become self employed.
Then the fun starts when they ask to see proof of your income to get CT/HB,
and you show them your bank statements giving details of your ESA payments
which have now stopped so you have no money at all to live on, thats where
the idea falls apart.

Actually I did get a PT job a while back, 2 hours PW keeping a car park and
gardens tidy. The JC ignored it saying it was not a proper job. I think they
were afraid I might get away from their concentration camps. Some idle
bastards would lose £200.00 pw for doing nothing if I was to escape.

To use the literal translation would be a real insult, because we all know
that is it not true.
