Louisa: Has your sister
found a new job yet?
Scott: Nope, she's had to
start signing on
Louisa: Oh dear. Well, at
least she's getting some money in.
Scott: I guess, but she's
pretty down about the whole thing. It doesn't help that they made her
jump through all these hoops to qualify.
Louisa: What kind of hoops?
Scott: Actual hoops. It was
part of the Unemployed Sports Day.
Louisa: What's that?
Jack: It's a new government
initiative to get the unemployed in shape for a future of manual
labour. And they sell tickets to help fund the unemployment benefits.
Louisa: What, so a load of
rich people can point and laugh?
Jack: It's mostly family
members screaming and crying, but yeah. In theory.
