Well done to the club for offering an opportunity.

The fact that the word "paid" was missing from the tweet should be a clue

At least I can argue about the subject at hand instead of spouting pure bollox like this

Or simply engaging in personal attacks.

Now, have you anything to contribute to subject in discussion or will you simply revert to type as usual?

And since 1978 the top 1% have got ever richer while the poor have become ever poorer.

If that's fine by you then your moral compass needs calibrating

I suppose this is a corporate attack as opposed to a personal one ? ...

They could offer it as an "apprenticeship" then they only have to pay £2.60 per hour

I'd be amazed if it's paid, I applied to plenty of sports clubs for paid internships this time last year and the only ones who could pay were Man United and Dagenham & Redbridge!

Having said that, if this opportunity was around before I got a paid job I'd have snapped their hands off for the chance, paid or not, as EHFC said most students budget over 52 weeks, since you only get 3 payments a year.

Whilst the welfare bill has spiralled to unmanageable levels. If you think that's acceptable or sustainable then you're more of a fool than I thought

It wasn't like Thatcher put people out of work adding to the welfare bill.

If someone finds themselves on the dole and budgets for, worse case, a year. Them gets offered a job for no pay should they take the job? They've already budgeted for the year, whats the problem?

Spot on, and that on the assumption that it is unpaid which has yet to be clarified

I know. At least you understand, unlike beales

That's not even close to being the same though, is it?

You don't get three lump sums of dole per year, do you?

Also, I doubt the club were thinking of somebody on the dole when they offered this out. It's quite clearly geared towards students, hence it being an internship, not work experience (even though it's the same thing, the wording is crucial).

Somebody on the dole would be looking for paid work.

Do you know what the greater proportion of the welfare bill is spent on?

I'll give you a clue, it's not the unemployed

So no students are looking for paid work? Some even put it in their budgets, some just don't want to leave in massive debt.
