An 18-year-old who applied for more than eighty jobs since leaving college is so desperate to find work that she took up her mother’s suggestion and walks the streets of her home town for three hours a day holding a placard saying ‘Please give me a job’.
The one demonstrates clearly why benefit reform is so badly needed, while the other deserves as much support as the State or anyone else can give her.

Was the man married, did he have children, did he have rent to pay? Did the Daily Mail reporter ask him these questions? Could you live on £4836 a year?
