I learnt a valuable lesson I suspected all along today: turning people into numbers means organisations and their employees don't need to do their jobs ... or anything really.

When an unemployed grandmonther of pension age is told the best she can do to support herself is to go to the bloody Salvation Army, you know something is seriously and deplorably wrong with the system.

I'm so angry at the injustice that I don't even know what to say. And you know how rare that is for me.
