What surprises you about that!?

I'd never attend an interview without being fully suited and booted inc. tie, anyone who does is an idiot.

There's no such thing as being over dressed when it comes to an interview. Self respect.

Tell him to join the army and learn a trade, that's where it's at.

This goverment is a joke, cameron says theres too many on benefits yet he is putting more people on benefits ie councile have to finnish people up, police losing jobs, fire services losing jobs, the armed forces losing jobs.....he cant have it both ways.....Even people like myself who are disabled have now got to have medicals that make no sense, i am disables and i have the proof, ive had lots of scans etc which prove im disabled yet i still have to do these stupid medicals which leave me in agony and you still fail....this country is going to hit rock bottom with this bas*ard in power....god help us.

Every time you say the Government should pay for, it is not the Government that pays it is the ordinary tax payer. The Government as individuals pay nowt, it is you and I who pay. So, every time you bark that the Government should pay for think about it because you are only digging a hole in your own pocket. Benefits are meant for the needy not for the greedy. If you still smoke, drink, go on holiday and can't get off your fat arse and get a job then you don't need benefit. It's self defining.

Are your comments directed at Brady or just towards the unemployed in general?
Telling a disabled guy to get off his fat arse and get a job is bollocks ! mad

I can tell you without fear of contradiction that Bandy is generalising and most definitly not directing his comments at anyone disabled.


God help us,
Come yourself,
Don't send Jesus,
This is no place for children.
