I can't believe Dave ever made a good security man. We have one for a shop near me and all he does is sit outside with a cup of tea. I can imagine Dave was like that!
as a actual security guard we call people like him jacket fillers he's everything you don want in a guard old, unhealth, ignorant, lack of self control, cant follow simple instructions, he wouldn't get involved if things got physical I've flat out refused to work with people like him on many occasions he probably thinks to himself the job of a guard is to sit around drinking tea as you said which is true because most of the time nothing is happening but what people like him fail to understand is when things happen are they capable of dealing with the issue physically or verbally and most of the time they are not imagine big dave confronting 10 chaves he's pie brain doesn't have the capacity to do things like that but they might get intimidated be the sheer size of him because he's a physical specimen lmao
@@BIZZIB3ATZ when I was a security officer, I had to train people like him when they fucked up, so not only did I have my own job to do, but I had to do assessments on people like him. While I was doing my own stuff, they would go upstairs to the canteen and I would find them sleeping.
I was on the sick and claiming, when Covid hit in August, I started volunteering on one of the NHS Covid test site and ended up doing full time hours voluntary. When we got the vaccines in December, the test site manager asked me if help with the vaccines. I was doing 12 hour shifts between 2 hospitals as a voluntary health care assistant and steward. In February, one of the doctors took me to one side and offered me a job in the doctors surgery that he was one of the senior GP at. The told me it had been noticed what I'd been doing. Im now a full time Administrating Assistant and Receptionist at an NHS Doctors Surgery. I couldn't imagine going back to just sitting at home and ive got 2 kids who are so proud, my eldest who's 19 this year has now gone and got herself a part time job as a home carer which she gets paid for and does in the mornings before college and then the evenings after college. It is hard though finding jobs if youve not got the proper qualifications or you don't look or speak how the they want you to.

My father always had executive type jobs and managing director of some very well known advertising agencies. He was english and very proper. I have never forgotten that he was between jobs and could not find employment in his normal field. At 49 years of age he took a job digging ditches for the water board. It was well outside his comfort zone but he did it willingly in order to put food on the table and pay the mortgage. Taught me a valuable lesson as a child. You do what you have to do and there is no job that is beneath us
My dad was educated and skilled however, when I was a baby he took up a sales job which he hated to be around for mum and me. He then lost a job in sales and so he he dug holes for a living to support his wife and baby (me). He ended up going back to working at sea which meant be away for months on end which was hard on my mum but earned the money.
Thats just a tactic smart people tell poor people. You never hear " My father lost his job digging holes and now he's CEO of a company for a year till he gets his old job back".
I’ve been out of work due to lone parent and ill health, I decided to do what I’ve always wanted, which is to be a solicitor/barrister. I’m about to begin my 2nd year of my law degree. You have to work hard to get what you want..
"I have the right to choose what I want to do in life.." Yes lovey, you do and I as the tax payer have the right to not fund you! Fund your own purpose.

I left my job. as it was awful, but I had to pay the rent. so I went to a pub for a drink, and said give me a job and they did. pride don't pay the bills x
It's really sad to see how things have gone down-hill during my lifetime. I feel a lot of sympathy for these people who have totally lost their self-confidence and connection with the world of employment.
I think more courses and support needs to be put in place for those who don't have the confidence and in an environment where they don't feel bad for saying they are struggling.
It is sad, once unemploymend apathy and low esteem kicks in, doing a job you hate is just as bad, however this woman and the series producer are merely exploiting these people as well, reality TV sucks
@@suilvenmountain2395 so the mother dying or the alcoholism or the anxiety doesn't matter? Wow you must be a real tough person too look passed all that huh?
I’ve been on benefits once in my life for a year it nearly destroyed me and I made sure it never happened again so to be stuck in that situation for years must be soul destroying
i did benefits for bout a year two. then actually decided to look for work, surprise surprise i a had a job a week or so later. if its "soul destroying" they know what they can do...
the difference in louise's selfconfidence came through so much. first, watching her walking down the strets or smoking, she seemed so tense, nervous and lacked confidence. Very hearthwarming to see someone young starting to believe in themselves. Hope she is doing well still
Dates so arrogant he fell straight on his face during the practice interview infront of the mayor of Liverpool, making him look like he wasn't interested
I relate to Louise, I'm autistic and I'm on benefits, I do photography as a hobby and im volunteering in photography courses & events. When Louise was having a breakdown behind the till, it literally felt like looking in the mirror, but for me it gets to the point where I can't breath properly and have severe panic attacks, or I shut down, so I can't talk to anybody if I'm in a stress situation...I'm gaining confidence but it will take a while...😕🤞
That Dave guy! What a caracter. 'I have the right to choose what I want'. And I choose not to work... It is very simple. Yes! You are free to choose what you want. But you are not free from the consequenses of what you choose. So... You don't work, you don't eat!
There is one series she was calling people on jobseekers scroungers, she took her "group" down to the local jobcentre and said "look at this lot you wanna be like them" she was totally disgusting, rude and even sometimes quite verbally violent

I left school at 16, got a job in a factory for a year, then McDonald's for 3 1/2 years. I then left and got another job in a food factory, now im 24 and im a full-time forklift driver and am so happy with what i do cause ive worked hard to get there. I've never not got a job ive gone for, i believe its because of the way you present yourself, progression and experience is key!
So Dave’s solution is to increase hardworking people’s taxes so that he will be able to claim more benefits. I hope after this episode that either all of his benefits were stopped or a viewer ‘talked’ some sense into him.
They don't want to hear that they just want to bash him and people on benefits because they're ignorant to how their money is actually squandered @@jamesrg.1993
Having being someone who’s always worked and also on the flip side no working for a short time due to leaving a job , I was without a job for 1 week and a couple days before a local shopkeeper offered me a job till something better came along and that did happen. My point is work hard , and the people who can help will see that you’re a work horse and have the sheer strength and determination to face anything in the working world. Every days a school day and you’ve got to be able to adapt and change to suit demand
How dare he suggest putting taxes up so that we (the tax payer) can continue to fund people who don’t WANT to get jobs. Disgraceful. 20-40% of my earnings I don’t even see a penny of, and this is the thanks you get from people like him 🤦🏽♀️ the problem is it’s just way too easy for people to play the system. The benefits system was designed for people who actually need help, how on earth did we get to a point where people can just choose to not contribute towards society but just reap all the benefits (literally). Mind blowing 🤯
This is the funniest/saddest thing I’ve watched in a long time. I know these episodes are old and I really hope all these people got to where they wanted to be.
This is such a great and motivational show! Love the lady who mentors them. She’s so passionate and empathetic too. In tears watching people getting their first chance or being able to rejoin :)
Update on my comment below. Respect for these four unemployed for their efforts in changing their circumstances. They can be proud of themselves for taking those first steps on their journey to a better life. They have proved beyond any doubt people living on benefits can, with determination and purpose, regain their confidence and self worth.
Totally. People love to be stuck in the past rather than getting on with reality which means: you‘re not involved in politics, just get up and suck it up or get an education and suck it up. Nobody ever said; it was so great before WWII…
Quite clearly you didn't watch the full show so you are in no position to make a comment! Your options are far more limited due to your lack of decency and common sense!
dont want to clean a car in basic british weather, honestly... youve got a future cold coming on that isn't here yet, and its getting colder... thats life! people don't want to work and when they get a chance given to them they moan like a child. its a job ffs.. i clean toilets offices etc full time and go home shattered to my kids with a feeling of safety and security! never moan about my job because i would be in the shit without it literally, Love my job, you need to have a positive mind set and want to better yourself, moaning really isn't worth it! Life is too short, immigrants are not taking your jobs maybe you just need to apply!
@@daviniarobbins9298 i wouldnt either but they are doing it for the show, its one shift, to show them, what they could be doing instead! and to help with confidence and self esteem! i wouldn't pay someone who couldn't bothered to clean my car either tbh, but if its your job you have no choice! you wouldnt act like this on a real job, just showing they cant be bothered, not the young girl, fair play to her shes trying!
Think Dave is scared most of all. He has confidence, but he is also aware of society rapidly changing, and that he has not much formal qualifications, lots of humor. Hope it will work out for him. Louise is a sweet, sweet girl, that needs her dad's full support as a grown man.Sue is so brave!! She will make it, for herself and her daughter. Last, but not least, Alex is a diamond. The employer who gets him, is lucky!
I worked with a fella, they said he couldn't get another job elsewhere to build his hours up as he can't handle it. I disagreed and started to really build him up in confidence, well done for applying man. A few pats on the backs and "you should be proud of yourself" when he went to interviews and he did get more employment. Amazing what a bit of support and building confidence can do.
I think this is an educational programme, it documents the reality of the variety of different reasons why a person doesn't have a job, there was someone who does need to take responsibility first and foremost, someone who was influenced by a parent in a negative way and needed to generally build confidence, and someone who'd been set back by bereavement and grief.
Yes, it's disappointing being rejected, I've been there - But no point in beating your head against the wall...If one place says no move straight on to the next an so on till you find employment.
I'm nearly 66 and still working. Struggle sometimes, emphysema and arthritis but I just get on it. Oh, started work at 15. Coal miner then construction

They sanctioned me a couple of years ago for a full year and I was left with nothing eligible for 0.00 for a full year it left me short on rent short on money for bills and if it wasn't for family and friends I would have been totally screwed. The DWP is putting drastic changes against claimants via sanctions. I rang them about it many times and they would give me a hardship loan of 70.00 pounds per month I had to pay back. I battled them for months after losing over 2k in benefits they gave me around 500 back when I reported them to the local MP. It was not a nice time I had things to buy and bills and to pay I had to move from the home I lived in due to it.
Doesn't want to wash cars and do hard physical work?! Mate, do you have the skills to be a lawyer? Doctor? Engineer? Teacher? Businessperson? Nope! Proceed with washing cars.
i was a full time carer for my disabled mom for 5 years until she passed. took another 6 months of trying and failing to get into work until a charity run hospitality course helped me get into working at starbucks. it can be hard to find work when you have a several year gap but you have to make the effort. if your not willing to make an effort and don't have a good reason to be off work you deserve the minimum benefits.
I lost my job halfway through the 1st lockdown and i still found a new job 2 days later...there is no excuse but thease people seem to find them left right n centre..just stop the money make them get a job
Im on benefits .I know this series is quite old but these episodes are actually really motivating me.... I have 2 interviews lined up this week!
How did they go
How did they go girl?? 🍾
How did you get on hun did you bag a job?
Hope it went well Emily!
Yeah hope it went well. And even if it didn't you are trying and that is the most important. Good luck you can do it!

@ Big B, but you don’t have the right not to fund them. If you work, you pay tax.
@@hangsambo12 I am going to guess you are unemployed and live on benefits.
For some unknown reasons i enjoy watching this type of series ✋🤡
you get hooked after watching just one of these shows.
It's being an observer of Life isn't it? Especially pockets of Life that aren't too familiar. I defend my addiction to these shows by nodding wisely and saying "Everything is a learning experience!"
It’s called poverty porn. I think humans like to see other people struggle. It’s not a criticism it’s human nature.
Out of all these benefit documentarys this series is the best as the people are helped get work and given the opportunity and confidence.
🙂 It's a mystery to me. Most of the people on these shows annoy the beejeebees out of me......yet I watch the ruddy things regardless.
Wow I'm so proud of all of them. Good on Dave for getting a job after the show!
I left my job. as it was awful, but I had to pay the rent. so I went to a pub for a drink, and said give me a job and they did. pride don't pay the bills x
Good on you!
This is an old comment but I hope you’re enjoying your new job and everything’s going well :)
Good for you, but you know you’re just lucky. Like, rocking up and asking is barely enough to get an interview, let a lone a job.
Drinking already scarce money doesn’t help pay the bills either.
These programs are a good reminder when your watching on your time off work.
Makes you work that little bit harder when you go back.
Dave is literally Jim Royle 😂😂😂
With the same attitude to not working.
Is it not Jim ROYALE...
😂, but not so funny!
Dave is best on a armchair with mothballs
My Arse.
It's really sad to see how things have gone down-hill during my lifetime. I feel a lot of sympathy for these people who have totally lost their self-confidence and connection with the world of employment.
I feel no sympathy for any ofthem.self entitled whiners who want shooting
they are lazy
I think more courses and support needs to be put in place for those who don't have the confidence and in an environment where they don't feel bad for saying they are struggling.
It is sad, once unemploymend apathy and low esteem kicks in, doing a job you hate is just as bad, however this woman and the series producer are merely exploiting these people as well, reality TV sucks
@@suilvenmountain2395 so the mother dying or the alcoholism or the anxiety doesn't matter? Wow you must be a real tough person too look passed all that huh?
The fact that they're all happy for each other at the end 😊.... It was a good episode 😊
It just goes to show that anyone can get a job with the right training . I was quite impressed with how they were really trying to get work
Agreed, I think the only problem is actually getting that 'right training' has become far more difficult nowadays.
Dave reminds me of Jim Royle from that series the Royle Family.
Words out of my mouth 😅
Yup, Dave is just like Jim Royle.
Or Onslow from Keeping up Appearances.
Me too
Get that barb
Dave should do work as a Jim Royle impressionist because he could earn a fortune.
Brillant🤣🤣
I find this lady pretty empowering, empathetic, and motivating!
She's very clever! 😊
I’ve been on benefits once in my life for a year it nearly destroyed me and I made sure it never happened again so to be stuck in that situation for years must be soul destroying
i did benefits for bout a year two. then actually decided to look for work, surprise surprise i a had a job a week or so later. if its "soul destroying" they know what they can do...
Hayley is a gorgeous strong and above all sensitive woman.
Pfft, she is complicit in a rotten system. She has nothing to be proud of.
@@hihowareyouthen what's rotten about it?
@@hihowareyouthen you sounds jobless
@@hihowareyouthen what you want her to do? riot? refuse to work?
@@hihowareyouthen lol! no she was doing a job behave XD
Don’t give up folks. It is amazing how quick things can change.
Like the guy says “you can’t go back, only forward!”
the difference in louise's selfconfidence came through so much. first, watching her walking down the strets or smoking, she seemed so tense, nervous and lacked confidence. Very hearthwarming to see someone young starting to believe in themselves. Hope she is doing well still
Yeah I had a girl like her in my class.. she would blush immediately if someone even looked at her..
She became terrible narcissistic instead..😅
Dates so arrogant he fell straight on his face during the practice interview infront of the mayor of Liverpool, making him look like he wasn't interested
I relate to Louise, I'm autistic and I'm on benefits, I do photography as a hobby and im volunteering in photography courses & events. When Louise was having a breakdown behind the till, it literally felt like looking in the mirror, but for me it gets to the point where I can't breath properly and have severe panic attacks, or I shut down, so I can't talk to anybody if I'm in a stress situation...I'm gaining confidence but it will take a while...😕🤞
Underneath Dave’s bluster is a man with no confidence x
No intentions!
i think he does have lots of confidence. I just dont think he can see it.
He‘s just a lazy git.
Alex’s situation is sad, Grief affects people in different ways and it can affect all aspects of life. I’ve been there my self.
What a lovely group of people on Benefits and such a kind caring panel of important people.
They are all so loveable
Really want hayley to come back and do another series!! This is great
Dave reminds me of my 'step dad' never worked, always blames others, never wants to change or to try.
Aw I really felt for her, she was soooo anxious and lacked any confidence. She needs to gain confidence and self believe.
I know. Customer facing roles aren’t for everyone. It’s not something I’d enjoy tbh.
To be honest you can’t really blame her either , with a father like that. I doubt she’s had any encouragement or uplifting
Take away the ignorant 53 years old benefits and then watch him work.
Exactly. Only reason he isn't is because they give him free money
im not convinced even that would do it! and if he did do anythin i rekon it'd be cash in hand style.
He probably earns £1.80 an hour on benefits when he could be working and earning more. Just plain laziness.
Why did they even let Dave get this opportunity when he clearly doesn’t seem to appreciate it or want it???
It’s more for the 3 young adults
That Dave guy! What a caracter.
'I have the right to choose what I want'. And I choose not to work...
It is very simple. Yes! You are free to choose what you want. But you are not free from the consequenses of what you choose.
So...
You don't work, you don't eat!
That was amazing so pleased for them all and Hayley was so dedicated to them. a few tears at the end for me.. well done all!
Although I find her overly strict, sometimes, she really does care...and when they get a job, her eyes fill up with real tears...
There is one series she was calling people on jobseekers scroungers, she took her "group" down to the local jobcentre and said "look at this lot you wanna be like them" she was totally disgusting, rude and even sometimes quite verbally violent
Tears of joy thinking of her bonuses
@@Horriblebastad 😅
@@TetraDizzle yeah she was awful in that but I like her a lot in this. This is exactly what people like Dave need. You can't go in there and be nice to these people because they have had laziness integrated into their life since they were born
@@TetraDizzle Almost like she was pushing a Conservative agenda
I left school at 16, got a job in a factory for a year, then McDonald's for 3 1/2 years. I then left and got another job in a food factory, now im 24 and im a full-time forklift driver and am so happy with what i do cause ive worked hard to get there. I've never not got a job ive gone for, i believe its because of the way you present yourself, progression and experience is key!
So Dave’s solution is to increase hardworking people’s taxes so that he will be able to claim more benefits. I hope after this episode that either all of his benefits were stopped or a viewer ‘talked’ some sense into him.
He had a job by the end of it...
IKR "make working people give me more of there money"
MP’s dodge their taxes so I don’t see what’s wrong with it.
Two years later and there are even more Daves in Britain.
They don't want to hear that they just want to bash him and people on benefits because they're ignorant to how their money is actually squandered @@jamesrg.1993
My wife is 65 year old and she is still working houses cleaning
Having being someone who’s always worked and also on the flip side no working for a short time due to leaving a job , I was without a job for 1 week and a couple days before a local shopkeeper offered me a job till something better came along and that did happen.
My point is work hard , and the people who can help will see that you’re a work horse and have the sheer strength and determination to face anything in the working world. Every days a school day and you’ve got to be able to adapt and change to suit demand
How dare he suggest putting taxes up so that we (the tax payer) can continue to fund people who don’t WANT to get jobs. Disgraceful. 20-40% of my earnings I don’t even see a penny of, and this is the thanks you get from people like him 🤦🏽♀️ the problem is it’s just way too easy for people to play the system. The benefits system was designed for people who actually need help, how on earth did we get to a point where people can just choose to not contribute towards society but just reap all the benefits (literally). Mind blowing 🤯
You are off you're head there is no money in benefits just misery..get a life and come down from you're high horse 🐫
Lol go cry i dnt work and never will cuz im rich aff
We fund members of Parliament fiddling theirs

@@Nitrogenoxidegorillas probably. you often hear somewhere down the line these people who were desperate to work quite like under a month later
This is the funniest/saddest thing I’ve watched in a long time. I know these episodes are old and I really hope all these people got to where they wanted to be.
i think some of em (one in particular) was already there! but i hope they've proved me wrong.
This is such a great and motivational show! Love the lady who mentors them. She’s so passionate and empathetic too. In tears watching people getting their first chance or being able to rejoin :)
Why do those people living on benefits look same all over the world? I'm from Germany and there are hundreds of Daves walking around here.
Years of cigarettes, booze, gorging on shit food, total lack of exercise...and voila you get a Dave!
A kiss from 🇧🇷 to the fairy jobmother. She is helping me a lot.
Update on my comment below. Respect for these four unemployed for their efforts in changing their circumstances. They can be proud of themselves for taking those first steps on their journey to a better life. They have proved beyond any doubt people living on benefits can, with determination and purpose, regain their confidence and self worth.
Such a difference in people she helps. Amazing
I'm in my third year of running my own business. It's not an easy ride, but I'm now starting to see results.
Dave, blaming Thatcher for his failures. No mate, it's up to you how you get on in your life......
Totally. People love to be stuck in the past rather than getting on with reality which means: you‘re not involved in politics, just get up and suck it up or get an education and suck it up. Nobody ever said; it was so great before WWII…
Any excuse will do.
Mrs.T gave the country a kick up the backside that it badly needed.
Live like a bum, blame Maggie Thatcher. On loop, again and again. Accountability isn’t an option for these people.
Quite clearly you didn't watch the full show so you are in no position to make a comment! Your options are far more limited due to your lack of decency and common sense!
@@SpeccyMan Acknowledged. Appreciate the feedback, Nick. You have a lovely day x
dont want to clean a car in basic british weather, honestly... youve got a future cold coming on that isn't here yet, and its getting colder... thats life! people don't want to work and when they get a chance given to them they moan like a child. its a job ffs.. i clean toilets offices etc full time and go home shattered to my kids with a feeling of safety and security! never moan about my job because i would be in the shit without it literally, Love my job, you need to have a positive mind set and want to better yourself, moaning really isn't worth it! Life is too short, immigrants are not taking your jobs maybe you just need to apply!
Lazy sods they always have an excuse
but they are taking our tax money
I wouldn't work for zero pay. If I am going to be cleaning cars for 8 hours I want £70 for my troubles otherwise am not doing it.
@@daviniarobbins9298 i wouldnt either but they are doing it for the show, its one shift, to show them, what they could be doing instead! and to help with confidence and self esteem! i wouldn't pay someone who couldn't bothered to clean my car either tbh, but if its your job you have no choice! you wouldnt act like this on a real job, just showing they cant be bothered, not the young girl, fair play to her shes trying!
You go gurl 🙌🏻💪🏻☺️
Think Dave is scared most of all. He has confidence, but he is also aware of society rapidly changing, and that he has not much formal qualifications, lots of humor. Hope it will work out for him. Louise is a sweet, sweet girl, that needs her dad's full support as a grown man.Sue is so brave!! She will make it, for herself and her daughter. Last, but not least, Alex is a diamond.
The employer who gets him, is lucky!
They all have good qualities to s8me extent. Dave should be a stand up comedian.
I worked with a fella, they said he couldn't get another job elsewhere to build his hours up as he can't handle it.
I disagreed and started to really build him up in confidence, well done for applying man. A few pats on the backs and "you should be proud of yourself" when he went to interviews and he did get more employment. Amazing what a bit of support and building confidence can do.
Most unlikeable family I have seen on this so far. Hayley and her neck scalves held it together well.
She rocks those neck scarves!!! 😂😂😂
They're not one family in this episode - one Dave and Louise are related
I think this is an educational programme, it documents the reality of the variety of different reasons why a person doesn't have a job, there was someone who does need to take responsibility first and foremost, someone who was influenced by a parent in a negative way and needed to generally build confidence, and someone who'd been set back by bereavement and grief.
Yes, it's disappointing being rejected, I've been there - But no point in beating your head against the wall...If one place says no move straight on to the next an so on till you find employment.
I’m so proud of Louise. Bless her it was so nice to see her become more confident ❤
This programme is so inspiring.
Daves attitude is his problem.
You can't help those who don't want 2b helped.
I bet he earns well and has his holidays abroad
I'm nearly 66 and still working. Struggle sometimes, emphysema and arthritis but I just get on it. Oh, started work at 15. Coal miner then construction
Vunh
I am a pensioner now…
Done all kind of things…
Had to get to 59 years of age to finally get the best of my jobs ever….
What an stunning way to end my working life 💪💪💪💪
I know i was lucky yeah….
But to everyone looking for something…
THE BEST OFF LUCK 🙏🏽❤️
So let me get this straight were expected to work till 70 for a state pension unless you have another one started which most folk do ,and people who don't wanna work or can't be arsed get through life easy ? This country has gone to bollocks
The lady mayor was so supportive!
the small tie was amazing!
Dad reminds me of the dad in the Royal Family, actor Ricky Tomlinson.!
I was thinking that too 😂😂
Dave deserves to have his benefits stopped as he is not interested in looking for work.
Dave sounds like Jim royale lol! You can just imagine him bonded to an old crusty sofa all day shouting 'Barb' 🤣😂
I loathed Dave for the first part of the video, but warmed to him. He's actually a really nice guy.
There was some controversial things said in this document however, all of you have found your way out from the benefit system... well done you all!
That is the most horrifying degrading thing ,, having them stand shouting they want a job ,,, just as degrading as the sandwich board
“He wants shooting that Prime Minister” 😂
The job at the Garden Center is going to be a healing place for her, i have no doubt she Will Love It and grow a lot there. Happiness is our destiny! ❤️ 🥳 I wish i could work in a Garden Center !😘
I wonder if he realises there's no human right to get free money 🤣
Though glad Dave turned changed his ways and sorted his drink problem out ❤
They sanctioned me a couple of years ago for a full year and I was left with nothing eligible for 0.00 for a full year it left me short on rent short on money for bills and if it wasn't for family and friends I would have been totally screwed. The DWP is putting drastic changes against claimants via sanctions. I rang them about it many times and they would give me a hardship loan of 70.00 pounds per month I had to pay back. I battled them for months after losing over 2k in benefits they gave me around 500 back when I reported them to the local MP. It was not a nice time I had things to buy and bills and to pay I had to move from the home I lived in due to it.
This is pure gold ✨️
😂
....her job search only takes an hour?! It's taken me longer than that to fill out ONE application form.

What Hayley and the job agency do for these people is amazing.

Nope!
Proceed with washing cars.
Doctors to physical work.
@@nifralo2752 Agree. Which is the point. People like this will find any excuse 🙄
i was a full time carer for my disabled mom for 5 years until she passed. took another 6 months of trying and failing to get into work until a charity run hospitality course helped me get into working at starbucks. it can be hard to find work when you have a several year gap but you have to make the effort. if your not willing to make an effort and don't have a good reason to be off work you deserve the minimum benefits.
If I was skint and I couldnt feed my child I'd scrub them cars all bloody day
I don't know how the comparison hasn't already been made, but god Dave is a real life caricature of Jim Royle!
Dave is the real life Jim from 'The Royle Family'
I hope Louise does well she was so nervous x
I lost my job halfway through the 1st lockdown and i still found a new job 2 days later...there is no excuse but thease people seem to find them left right n centre..just stop the money make them get a job
