I know, it's a ghastly thought, I only anticipated being out of work for a few months at the most. Maybe if there aren't any "real" jobs going later in the year, looking into Christmas jobs might be a feasible option - having to go through the rigmarole of signing on again in the New Year is a monumental hassle but the upshot would be that it would delay you another full year from having to do the Work Programme -in the very worst case scenario a tangible employment opportunity hasn't materialised by then, that is.

I'm seriously thinking of looking at a career in welfare rights advisory, I think I have a knack for this, being up against the wall and having to navigate my way through the minefield of the welfare system, I think I'd like the sort of job where I can point people who are genuinely in need in the right direction.

Of course, this doesn't factor that many 18-25 year olds may have escaped from abusive households or the fact that many people in this age demographic may be married or have children of their own.

I have a feeling there's going to be civil disturbances again before this government gets voted out and people aren't going to let potentially disproportionate jail sentences get in the way, you can only push people into corners for so long until they have no option but to fight back.
Do you have anymore information on that?
That is so ****ed up. 25!! That's 7 years of being an adult, what if you can't live at home?!
