Like I've said before, there's so many places that have jobs going, but if they're not 'good enough' then people won't do it. The shitty jobs, like rubbish collection and being on a checkout in Aldi, are good money! McDonalds is shit pay but at least you'd be REDUCING the benefit you're getting, as opposed to relying on the government for ALL of your bills.

Give up your benefit.
Go on. Get one of those jobs, and give up your benefit.

I've DONE IT
For fuck's sake. I know it's hard, but like I said I don't want to dissolve the whole benefits system!

Isn't she in full-time education as well, to try and get a better-paid job
in order to give up the benefit? So she's conforming to the ideas proposed by the minister in this story.
