You are asking me to possibly put myself into an awkward position
because you are assming im making this up, yet you ask me to 'just
leave it at that' in return?

A bit much isn't it? Is there a reason why you shouldn't tell me why i
should trust you and believe you have a healthy interest in this?

Given this has been JC policy for as long as I can remember in every
office I've been in I must assume that you are not perhaps as familiar
with how they work as you would like to think. Perhaps you could tell
me what you think they should be doing instead, if you find what i
claim so unbelievable as to think i'd waste my time posting utter
nonsense. They have always said you must pick three categories fo work
for your jobseekers agreement and those categories must be the
categories they use to advertise jobs. they don't offer training or
anything like that and when i was alast signing on there was no effort
made to offer me anything beyond my own efforts to find work.

Now if you want me to 'name and shame', you need to give me a bit more
to go on.
