Dave yesterday visit Job Centre. He tell me he is interviewed by
 12 year old boy (I think he exaggerate youthfulness of this person).

Anyways when young man asks - What is your current situation? 
Dave answer - Perilous, fuckin perilous.

But Job Centre employee does not accept this as satisfactory and instead ask Dave would he care to elaborate upon this answer.

To help him, he read to Dave from long list of questions, some of these questions being very personal.(so Dave say). He get quite angry and enquire of the youth - Did we fight two world wars to have to go cap in hand to the likes of you for the chance to earn an honest living?

(I gently mention to Dave that he did not fight in either of these two wars - or any war at all. Also he does not have cap. But he ignore me.)

Comes the revolution - he tells the employee and you'll end up with a bleedin' shovel in your hand instead of a pen. That's if they don't shoot you as the agent of a corrupt capitalist system.

The boy then point to notice which warns that there will be no tolerating of abuse - physical or verbal - to staff of Job Centre. And nods to large man who is standing by door. This man approaches swiftly and suggest to Dave that he leave. Which he does.

I tell Dave this is all very well, him making the stand for the workers - of which he is currently not one - but what about money? I tell him that if he had answered questions as asked, then young man would have helped him to apply for benefits to which he is entitled.

Dave storms from flat saying he is going where he will get some sympathy and understanding. He mean the pub, which is full of men who have answered questions and are receiving benefit.

I am not going to ask how you are because you never reply.

Your worried

Anna
