Interesting Sanctions Protest At Stockton Jobcentre

A young woman caused a stir when she stripped down to her undies in a Teesside job centre.

The woman walked into Stockton Jobcentre and removed her coat to reveal she was wearing a black bra, pants, stockings, suspenders and trainers.

Film footage posted on Facebook shows her disrobing and claiming she is protesting against sanctions to her jobseeker’s allowance.

The woman is quickly ejected from the premises by a security officer, who can be heard telling her to “grow up” as she is thrown out, swiftly followed by her jacket.

Once outside she is then seen drinking from a can and nominating someone else.

She is told to move away from the job centre or she could be arrested.

It is believed to have been a dare as part of a new drinking game that is sweeping the internet.

> Or it might just have been a protest against being sanctioned ? I might give it a go myself sometime 🙂

A video was subsequently posted on Youtube (below), the poster (obviously not the lady in question) remarks rather primly that: A video has been revealed showing the moment a woman stripped to her underwear in a Jobcentre as part of a Neknominate challenge, and attempting to pass it off as an act of protest.

In other words, devalue any anti-DWP protest by bringing in issues like Neknominate, she was seen drinking from a can, etc. Still doesn’t mean she didn’t have relevent issues with the jobcentre.

The G4S goon looks remarkably like the runt that tries to throw his lack-of-weight around at my local jobcentre. Do they grow them in a vat or something ?

    Update – the young lady has been identified as Simone Reed, of Stockton.

    She said : “I just did it for the craic,” she said. “I thought it was funny at the time.”, but added : “I do want David Cameron out. I think he’s horrible.

    “There’s a woman near me with give kids and she had people taking her food parcels.

    “The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer. That’s why I did it as well. People are suffering.”
