Agreed.

They shouldn't be allowed to smoke or drink either.

And should be banned from playing scratch cards and the lottery.

Eh?

I thought this was about being employable and in reality nobody should drink or smoke as both are medically bad for people, so you offer an illogical argument, because if you do if for some then the premise should be to all.
Again I fail to see why a Tattoo should deny someone employment, there are common today as they have been in the past

Because it isn't their money to spend and spending benefits money on those things will leave them deflated at the end of the week.  Every ounce of their effort and money should go towards making them better and more employable.

Again eh?

This was a question on being employable, dear me
It is their money to spend, not your money

No, it was about the unemployed.

It is not their money.  Whether they get it or not lies in the hands of other people - they can reduce it, take it away all together...

I'm for helping them get a job, not for keeping them down.

I agree Andy the country should be looking to get the unemployed on their own feet and working.

the benefits system was a stop gap between work not a life long option not to have to work..

I think that anyone getting a tattoo on their face is clearly not planning to apply for jobs really, and even if they're forced to apply for them, they're not planning on actually getting a job.
