Jobless and broke: I wouldn't wish this on anyone

Ben Gillet, from Royal Wootton Bassett, has been out of work for more than three years and says he wouldn't wish anyone to be in his situation.

Although he says he does check job adverts online he told Newsbeat reporter Sima Kotecha that his daily life is "mind-numbing" and mainly taken up with computer games and cigarettes.

The 25-year-old says his confidence has been "destroyed" but denies being lazy.
