You've heard of Dads Army, well meet the A4e Army commanded by CEO Mark Lovell AKA Captain Calamity. Watch as they lurch from one embarrassing New Deal scandal to the next. A Taxpayer Production.

Lunch time shoppers in Hull today witnessed the arrival of the A4e Flexible New Deal No Hope roadshow. However, the A4e No Hope VW camper van proved too much for one unemployed Hull man who was seen to make a dramatic escape after being lured inside by Emma Harrison who promised him free training. He must have remembered her from the Benefit Busters series on Ch4. We wish him well after his lucky escape,

A4e Flexible New Deal Poster Campaign
A MESSAGE FROM PRIME MINISTER GORDON BROWN: "Unemployed Britons your country needs you to sign up for the Flexible New Deal workfare program. We must rid our once glorious country from the scourge of mass long-term unemployed. Report to your nearest A4e camp Monday morning at 9 am for brainwashing. Rememeber, you are making the ultimate sacrifice of missing daytime TV so future generations can live in a land of the employed. So switch off Jermy Kyle, put down that can of White Lightening, and leave the baseball bat - there won't be enough room at A4e to swing it anyway"

DANGER: A4e Propaganda

DANGER:  A4e Propaganda
Beware of the almost constant stream of A4e propaganda portraying them as respectable and charitable, they're greedy and manipulative. Far from improving the lives of the UK unemployed, the reverse is true in most cases. If your unemployed and the jobcentre informs you have been allocated to A4e on some job program, refuse to attend. Contact your MP, make a fuss. Do whatever you can, within reason, to avoid A4e

Wise Group sub-contract Flexible New Deal contract to A4e
Glasgow based charity Wise Group have sub-contracted their Edinburgh Flexible New Deal contract to infamous A4e. Only time will tell if this is a match made in heaven? So Edinburgh now has two FND providers: Ingeus and A4e. And in theory, the unemployed should now be given a choice of which provider they wish to do their Flexible New deal program with? if the jobcentre force you to attend A4e you should ask for an explanation in writing of why you haven't been given a choice of provider. And if you are unhappy with the explanation contact your MP

A4e Salaries Are Secret
Ever wondered what A4e owner Emma Harrison and CEO Mark Lovell pay themsleves? Me too, unfortunately you can't find out because A4e are a private company and exempt from the 2000 Freedom on Information Act.

A4e Skills Training

A4e Skills Training
This is the kind of thing that A4e think of as skills training. When I attended A4e Edinburgh in 2008 the only course on offer was the European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL, nothing wrong with that but not everyone wants to work with computers. If our government were really committed to giving the long-term unemployed proper skills and choice, why don't they they give them a training allowance which can be used at colleges and other establishments which offer proper courses, qualified tutors and a recognized qualifications instead of giving taxpayers money to a cowboy outfit like A4e.

An A4e spokersperson denied they were responsible for the carnage occuring in Grantham, but admiited that the 13-week New Deal course may have something to do with it. Quite why these A4e New Deal zombies from Lincoln converge on Grantham is unknown.

Infamous A4e and less infamous Serco go head-to-head for a share of the lucrative UK welfare to workfare Flexible New Deal heavyweight government contracts. Will old experienced A4e KO the upstart FTSE 100 company and grab the biggest share of the workfare cake? The bell sounds for Round 1: Blunkett comes flying out of his corner heading for Filkin, fists flying wildly hoping to catch his Lordship with a lucky punch. His Lordshop ducks, and displays some nifty footwork which defies his age, as he waltzes round the ring and avoids being hit by the flurry of blows coming from the pursuing and panting Blunkett. Filkin, realising he can't continue being chased round the ring by Blunkett, stops dead, turns, and aims a left cross which catches Blunkett off guard, and makes contact with his temple. Blunkett looks dazed and sways. The crowd cheers wildly, they're not so much fans of Serco and Flikin but delighted to see anyone beat A4e. Will this fight go to round 2 or is Blunkett finished?

With only seconds to go before the end of Round 1 his lordship landed a right cross which connected with Blunkett's left cheek with a loud thud, sending him spinning backwards only to hit the canvas from which he never got up within the 10 count.

Many A4e New Deal clients do not always see the point in taking an unapid work placement, especially when they know it will never became a full-time job as in the case of charity shops. On such occasions, Emma Harrison has found the right uppercut to be particularly effective, and with the more difficult clients this is swiftly followed by a left cross.

  1. The photos are amazing and obviously express anarchist danger.
    One should ask why so much money is spent for A4e
    and why the British taxpayer condones so much waste of taxpayer money.
    May be there is really some sort of corruption involved in this save the unemployment scheme.
    How many of them were integrated in the working society so far?
