If they can protest outside No. 10 and the bank of England they can get back into work.

> The People’s Assembly has told campaigners to assemble “right on the doorstep of the very people who created the crisis in the first place”

That will be the Labour party who created this "crisis" who they are so upset that they lost the election. Also the crisis is over as we have the lowest unemployment in decades

What does the protest have to do with their employment

Also labour didn't create the crisis

Also underemployment is way up and more people are relying on food banks than ever

They don't want their dole sanctioned for not doing voluntary work or applying for jobs.

Which is cuts to welfare and easy public sector jobs. The Uk has too many professional protesters who just want to bum around at the cost of the taxpayer. They justify this by claiming to be radical left-wing activists

Jobseekers allowance is a small part of welfare spending

The majority is in pensions

Then why don't we see pensioners protesting? The majority of Tory votes came from older people facing or about to retire. These are all younger people who want something for nothing or everything now.
