IDS's policy sabotaged by technology

[osdset]

Iain Duncan Smith’s plans to force claimants to spend hours a week endlessly searching for jobs on the Universal Jobmatch website* could become a laughing stock after the launch this week of an app which will carry out jobsearch automatically. According to their website, Universal Automation is a “browser extension which will automatically search for jobs on Universal Jobmatch and apply for them. It is the robot that will perform useless job search activities instead of you at a click of a button.”

I would love to be a fly on the wall when IDS realises.

All they have to do is make it is use a unique certificate and use an SSL. Its easy enough to get around the app, but the question is, do they want to.

Government sites are done on the cheap. The only secure bit is the login info as it goes through the central uk database

..then to make it even more secure, it goes through CIA and KGB central databases too.

Details are safe on the system itself. Unfortunately most of the manual operators pretty much dont care as normally they are on a low grade pay, overworked and couldnt care less.

"Cheap" isn't only related to the actual cost in pounds sterling

[Nystagmite]

Can't they just give a few unemployed a job regarding this? Some of us probably have more idea than them...

Yeah. I mean, I'd do it for, say, £4 million. Save them 75%.

all these benefit reforms will fail and IDS will end up a massive laughing stock, i mean even most of his party think he's a joke and he got a vote of no confidence from practically everyone.

IDS is nothing more than a joke and the only person who fails to see it is old dunc himself xD

Let the developers know - it's basically in alpha testing right now, as far as I can tell.

yet he still has his rank.

 

Seems cameron is scared of him for one reason or another. Notice the past recent leaders are all in the cabinet, IDS, hague. Probably placed there by the invisible tory leaders.
