Olympics

No, it's not.

Your claims were:

1) The people working as stewards in venues had their jobs taken away for the duration.
2) The unemployed would have had their benefits removed if they did not volunteer.

These are the two original claims that I asked you to provide evidence for.

Ok lets do this one at a time shall we. I will deal with 1 first. We can deal with other things in latter posts.

People working as stewards at lords are normally employed by lords and work there. true or false.
Was lords a provider of stewards for the Olympics? No evidence provided but I suppose I could look it up do you insist, or can we take that a read?

The companies providing staff for the Olympics stet up their own criteria,
for who would qualify to work at the events.

Therefore for the people working at lords, would not be able to work in the place they normally worked at unless they worked for free to qualify to be a steward at the games. In short where they would normally be employed for the period of the Olympics they did not work at that time at that venue, their normal employment was removed from them.

I wait.

Sorry Jonb but isn't that simply re-stating your original assertion that people were sacked to make way for Olympic stewards (whether they were volunteers or not).

Please post some evidence for this because if it is true I may write to my MP about it - but I need a bit more than "someone on an internet forum said so".
