The message about "finding that non-existent job" is bullshit.
Telling people that it is hard to find work (when there are jobs), is the big drug companies telling everyone that it is hard to give up smoking. Its fucking easy if you ignore everyone telling you how impossible it is. Don't listen to them.

Don't believe this bullshit. They are just trying to recruit you into some seedy cult for their own needs. There is always a reason and purpose for people to do this kind of stuff.

@claptrap

wow, a great mixture of Thatcherism and paranoia you have there, i'm sure the jobless masses will be comforted by your revelation that finding work is "fucking easy". it was merely their attitude and blinkered perception keeping them out of work all along, nothing to do with the economic climate in the real world. listen to claptrap kids, all it takes is willpower to kick smoking and unemployment!

"There is always a reason and purpose for people to do this kind of stuff." - yeah, and in this case it's fun and solidarity. To be able to socialise without anticipating the scornful stigma people direct at you when you answer the ubiquitous 'so, what do you do?' sounds like a breath of fresh air to me. Unemployment can leave you feeling marginalised and depressed, something like this could at least put people in touch with others who understand that. Of course be prepared folks because the sinister cult induction follows swiftly on from the disco.... claptrap by name....

great idea, let's do it in london too!

Dear Claptrap

You certainly come across as a nauseous little capitalist to me. Don't judge others by your own ignorance! Since when did ignorance become a valid opinion anyway? What do you know of our aims and intentions? Have we met you?

As a local philanthropist,student, researcher, business woman and teacher, my only aim at this event is to entertain a crowd of like minded artistic people in a community setting. Many of the people attending this gig are not unemployed, including myself. I am doing it because I enjoy performing the songs that I have written, I enjoy watching performances of my contemporaries and I enjoy the company of intelligent and down to earth people.

And as for that "non-existant job", I agree that there are jobs out there, but the educated and artistic people of this city and surrounding valleys do not always wish to take jobs in cat food or fish gutting factories as politically they object to advancing the interests of Global Capitalism. It is their human right to object to slave labour. Unless you would advocate a system such as China? I dropped out of the rat race and became self-employed to avoid the shackles of discrimination working for transnational companies and/or the state. Many of the people at this event have done the same. A popular phrase used for this is "Non-Compliance". Perhaps your should look it up before you turn into a sheep.

Some advice: think before you type as you may well present yourself as an idiot or the elite.
