Ministers are preparing to move the system of paying Jobseekers' Allowance (JSA), currently claimed by 1.58 million people, largely online later this year in a major cost-cutting drive.Err, shouldn't the latter have been fully considered, and decided, before even thinking of preparing for the former?
The aim is to make 80 per cent of JSA payments online within months, with a view to boosting the figure over time to 100 per cent.
Ministers are considering the best way of making sure someone is available for work if they no longer need to attend Jobcentres.

So we are all going to get 'free' broadband and a computer are we??? Maybe when online to the JSA we have to have a webcam and mic whilst attached to a polygraph, (lie detector?)
Why are governments trying their level best to ensure that people no longer have 'face to face' contact and/or social interaction?

"80 million customers"
my ghast was flabbered - he was sincere and obviously pleased with himself.
No doubt some inventive Eastern European types and Nigerian entrepreneurs are already working on how to squeeze a few bob out of another uk.gov ballsup. I don't recall anybody much getting nicked in the Online Tax Credits free for all.....
It seems the ability to count beyond your fingers isn't a qualification demanded in UK gubmint IT schemes - here we go again - and now Gordon's Digital Dashboard uhhhh... ahhh... I'm going to have to take some pills and pull the curtains....
