Those Batman toys will be valuable especially, if boxed and in excellent condition.

Here's an article about Restart/Serco ... Nothing, most of us don't already know.

Jobber, you are giving the DWP ideas. All claimants to sell their sentimental childhood stuff and live off the proceeds instead of claiming benefits. The actual toys are in a box in a loft, but the boxes will be long gone. Even if they were boxed, I could never be vulgar and sell stuff that has sentimental value to me.

Pintel, don't read articles that contain the phrase tailored support. They cannot be good for you.

I thought Restart was ending in 2026 so £175 million seems a bit generous. Not only is even more money shovelled into a failed scheme, but our new government clearly have no problems with the ongoing role of the private sector in delivering public services.

Only 7% are back into work, forcing your claimants into jobs they don't want or like by force. This makes people disengage and seek work elsewhere and help elsewhere; why not focus on customer satisfaction. What customer satisfaction fucking DWP made referrals 6 months from 12, to 9, now 6 Why not chain your participants up and lock them into a room until they say yes? Also, bring in military tactics and make them run around the office in laps. Next, do 100 pushups. Being on benefits makes you feel like you committed murder, and you are literally better treated in prison by prison guard. Just steal the advisor's laptop and run out with it; getting sent down is probably the only way to avoid this Bollocks scheme.

Yes Ignatius, dont get caught selling toys at the local car boot, if they haven't put them out of business already.

Its that type of ideology that scuttled 'Entrepreneurship'🥶 in this county. Of people buying and selling, of unwanted goods. And they wonder why people don't create small business . When they see the get screwed🪛, before they get out the harbour...

The last course I was on, we got a 'talk' about starting up a small business....

Apparently the DWP Snooper Squad used to be regulars at carboot sales. They have probably moved to eBay snooping now.

Most business start ups fail within the first year so I've never understood why they vehemently push the self-employed idea. Also, you usually need some capital or access to credit to start a business - something doleys normally lack.

And don't forget dealing with large Banking institute's.... Again, your be shown the if you haven't got any capital to offer these firm's.

Maybe, on day the 'DWP Snooper Squad🥸" , will start to go after the bigger fish's. When they can't find any small fry to catch...🧐
