Hard To Believe - Or Not? Make Up Your Own Minds

[Arthur Little]

Disgusted wife BLASTS Jobcentre officials who ordered her husband to attend interview ... despite the fact he cannot even walk, talk or feed himself.

Tbh ... ... I never know whether to believe stories like this one.

It was a mistake nothing more, nothing less. No matter how good the system mistakes are going to happen, I wonder how many mistakes they didn't make this year there are

Yep its an obvious mistake, we have to remember Newspapers sensationalise stories to try to sell Newspapers, though they are a declining species due to the Internet.

Well, yes, ... especially when the DWP later realised its oversight - then, at least - had the good grace to apologise.

Again ... two further s ... firstly, about the time~honoured tendency of the press to sensationalise and, secondly, of course, the decline in newspaper sales because of the internet.

Oh ... and thirdly, this particular story has been published by what Joe usually refers to as 'The Daily Snail'!

[Dedworth]

A mistake times 2 firstly the letter, secondly wife being verbally told he would lose benefits if he didn't turn up. I despair at the poor calibre of staff "working" in much of the public sector - any Tom, Dick or Muhammad straight off the back of a lorry is employed just for turning up at the interview. How many of them have English as a first language ? Still room for job cuts

I believe the daily snail is privately owned. It was they who made the mistake by publishing it in such a way ... .
