I didn't start my business and risk ,loads of money without the wish to make some money. Nobody ever starts a business with a wish to lose money, so those who risk it either make money or lose it. Those who make money provide jobs for others at least in the real world that you ask about, that is what happens.
If businesses fail so too do the jobs of the workforce.

Now please think again and see who lives in the real world my friend.

If you think business people start businesses solely for the benefit of the workforce, why don't a few of you get together and start a co-operative. See if the communist system works or not. You can all buy nice cars with the profits and pay yourselves massive salaries, see how long it lasts before you go bust.

The intention for the post was to offer to support to those who were in difficulties with the changes in the benefit system.

If i was to become unemployed now I would benefit from such advice making sure i was entitles to the same as the person two doors away.

if your not happy about the council spending / investing in such a scheme then take it up with them.

Topic : Extra help for those struggling with welfare changes.

Its not meant to be a slant on the Unemployed or a judgement topic, its about how to finding the right help and advice.

Although I totally agree with a lot you have said, can we get back on topic
help for those struggling with welfare changes.
Does anybody have advice on what to do and what to claim for if somebody unfortunately comes out of work.
Please no snotty remarks to answers or person trying to advise

I would advise anybody coming out of work to make an immediate claim through one stop shop. Follow this up with a meeting with an independent welfare benefits advisor.
In addition to the food banks there are many charities on Wirral who will help.For help from one such organisation please email James McGrillen at [email protected]. There are others such as Wirral Change for Black and other minority groups.
People in debt can contact Christians against poverty for practical help and support.
Main thing is not to despair there is help out there.
