How about stripping? UK govt left red-faced after suggesting hard-up Brits get naked to earn cash

UK government officials have suffered an embarrassing blunder after “mistakenly” listing “striptease artist” as a possible job role for British workers to consider instead of claiming benefits.

In a now-deleted post on the Department for Work and Pensions website, titled ‘work you could do’, one option they suggested for jobseekers with “no formal academic” skills was “dances in adult entertainment establishments.”

In what was ostensibly intended as a ‘helpful’ pointer for those looking for work they additionally recommended using the search phrase “striptease artist” to find vacancies.

The webpage reassured candidates that they would need “no formal academic entry requirements,” because “training is received typically on-the-job.”
