Say NO to Forced psychological treatment of the unemployed

Deplorable new Government policy of introducing mental health services into job centres – based on a banality of evil thinking that the unemployed must be mentally ill for not wanting to accept zero hour contracts.  If people do not undertake a psychological assesssment (if one is deemed necessary by a job centre advisor!) then they will have benefit sanctions made against them.  Alternatively job centres could help find people good jobs that pay a living wage – now there’s a thought.  See the links below for press articles on the protest:
