another report from bristol. Mostly we would like to rectify one inaccuracy in solfeds post, We played mostly reggae and hiphop on the sound system, not just punk 🙂 http://bristolaf.wordpress.com/2012/04/02/bristol-targets-workfare-report-from-saturdays-day-of-action/
If your forced to go on unpaid work programme and lucky enough to find a job whilst on it, just go to the job centre and sign off, just say your taking a break from the scandelous mistreatment from your so called provider .Don’t bother telling the provider, let them wonder where you’ve gone and more importantly their £000’s in payment…
