You don't have to be a genius to realise that all is not well in the United Kingdom and that all around the country people are suffering real hardship whilst this New Labour government starts to print money in a panicked attempt to save themselves from the dole queues they are creating all around the nation.

Job seekers all over the country are desperately looking for work, searching the web, scanning the papers, looking in windows, registering with agencies and much more besides and yet this government's response is that we will force them to work a 40 hour week for their benefit.

This Nation's greatest shame is the people that we voted into public office, who in the cold day of light bear no belief closely resembling ours, for their job, is that of job creation, not presiding of a policy of slave labour or attempting to punishing others for failing in their own job.

Figures obtained by this site show just one mechanism available to Job Seekers in Northern Ireland, the jobcentreonline.com website. We compare the unique visits to the site in January & February of 2008 & 2009. Not only have the figures nearly doubled during these monthly periods but using a completely non-scientific comparison their is nearly one unique hit (unique visitor) each month, to account for half of Northern Ireland's population.
