jan commented on "JSA Rant"
jan said: Fair enough Polly but I think if you have separate bedrooms you're technically classed as single.hen i was about 18, I was on the dole in Nottingham and at that time they only sent the housing benefit people round to check but four years later I'm signing on again in Birmingham and they don't even do that now. Maybe different councils are more strict but they only consider you "living together" when sharing a room. If they do come round and check they still have to tell you in advance so even if you are sharing a room you can get him to go out on the day! Hope this helps

Amylee said: Thank you so much for bringing my attention to this campaign. I know I've supported and agreed with many Amnesty campaigns in the past, and am happy that you are now inspiring me to look into these again. I find the card campaign a wonderful idea, and plan on supporting it by sending at least one card. Thank you.

RadFemHedonist said: I have been suffering from depression, and it's really crushing when somebody tells me to "eat less and exercise more", sometimes a bar of fairtrade chocolate or a big plate of pasta and cheese is what gets me through the day plus my meds make me put on weight (this I know) and possibly increase my appetite (I'm not sure, but I think that is one of the side effects as well), and it can often be very difficult or impossible to exercise if you have some kinds of disability or health condition, plus, if we did try to produce enough food for everyone without making loads of extra that went to waste, wouldn't it be good for us to have some extra fat on us
