Andy, self employed people don't take time of sick anyway! It costs too much.

looks like enabling small time psychopaths to be cruel to people

I can see what is coming

there is a subculture of cruelty ready to be unleashed

just think of school and work

now think larger scale

I take time off if I need it or holidays when I want.
Yes it costs money but I made sure I earn enough to cover it.

If I didn't then why would I accept the contract?

It's stuff like "can you tell the time?", "can you make a cup of tea?". Under the new legislation if you're a cancer patient, and are definitely going to die, but have more then six months to live then you're treated as a normal 'jobseeker'. People undergoing chemotherapy have been assessed as fit to work; ie. fit to apply for any job that the Jobcentre tell them to. Who is going to qualify as not fit to work under those criteria?

Who thought those guide lines up wub?

It's obvious they are trying to send the seriously ill to an early grave.

I think in the end the seeds of natural justice will start to flower?

Ahh, yes.

I meant small timers like myself. If I don't work, I don't get paid, so I'm desperately trying to develop that workaholic mindset. Unfortunately, it doesn't come easily.

Most people spend the first few years working their arses off from what I can gather.
