Jobs are not equally distributed in the UK neither is labour supply.

Low-end labour (you don't say where you are located and what you pay) will be increasingly difficult to locate in London as it is ever more gentrified.

But how can immigrants manage to live in London and still do those jobs?

Thanks for this, another example of vulnerable people getting exploited. And then you get scum like Britain First winding everyone up with their crap about illegal immigrants getting more benefits than pensioners etc.,, when the reality is that the poor sods are getting exploited right left and centre, and are too afraid to get help.

BF are too much of a minority sport to wind anyone up.

The Tories, on the other hand. Did you see Cameron's speech after the EU summit? Complaining about in-work benefits European migrants were claiming on "day one"? Much more prominence, the right-wing tabloids follow that lead, and of course he's in power with an absolute majority.

He's the one I'd be concerned about. Not the softheads who hand Bibles out around Mosques.

You'd be surprised how many times I've felt the need to correct some crap from them that's getting shared, because it's disguised as a plea for a missing child or fair play for pensioners etc.

I have been in the assessment phase for ESA for nearly 12 months and I have the medical in a couple of weeks. However my condition has changed dramatically. What started as a physical issue with depression has developed into psychotic episodes and self harm. I never leave the house alone as noise seems amplified and I hear voices.

When I first claimed ESA I voluntarily asked for support to find a different job. Since then I have been sanctioned twice when I have had to cancel an appointment as I was having an episode. One of the appointments was for a group session which when you are hearing voices is not a pleasant experience.

The sanctions are severe. You lose a months benefit for a first offence and 3 months for a second. Thankfully my benefit was restored at the mandatory reconsideration phase as my argument is my arrangement was voluntary.

Now I am pretty astute but it has still been a stressful time which has not been good for my condition. God forbid what it would do for someone more vulnerable.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with this instead of being able to focus on getting better.

It makes me so angry that we're allowing this to happen in the UK in the 21st century
