Should jobless be forced to pick up litter?
Those claiming unemployment benefits could be forced to pick up litter and clean up graffiti under new plans to get millions back to work or put to good use. Do you think that this will inspire confidence in the long-term unemployed to find work? Or will it just demoralise jobseekers and worsen the stigma around unemployment? Have your say.

Listen you lot of lazy wasters, I sit on my fat arse all day thinking up ways of making you pay for your good for nothing lifes. I vote my own salary in, screw the parliamentary secretary, purchase and decorate a second home and this is all on the working mans money.
We sold our Gold reserves 5 years ago to pay for a war based on lies and are running out of funds to finance our luxury lifestyle and mistresses.
So you idol bunch of bleeps, get back to work and earn me some more tax pennies so I can continue my life of luxury. -

What happens after they pick up the litter? Do they drop it to start all over again? I think we should be told.

oh BB I just saw your post, without me seeming to be unsympathetic - Stephen Hawkins works and you know he can only use hsi mind. You typed your post whether it be through speech recognition or not and therefore to be totally honest you are in just as good a position as me (and I have the use of my limbs).
The thing is do you want to work as you already know that in all probability, you wont be forced to.
I take it you have your voice ? If so, maybe call centre work.
Please do not get me wrong, am not unsympathetic, I just happen to think you are at the very least, my equal.
