Blog covering a detailed example of how A4e (Action for Employment Ltd) organised a period of Mandatory Work for an unemployed person on Job Seekers Allowance, resulting in a Kafka like sanction and suspension of benefits, all requiring doctored documents. Exploitation of paid staff and meals allowance at £2.50 for a full days work. Calling the Mandatory Work "Voluntary" but making failure to undertake a reason to lose benefits.

Also gives details of how to use the Data Protection Act, Human Rights and European legislation and the principle of *Informed Consent* to exercise resistance and legally based non cooperation, without putting benefit rights at risk.
