We need everyone to regularly have a go at the Job Centre for this piece of 
idiocy.   Their argument is that IE is used by everyone and that it would be 
too expensive to change their system now.  Also it will only work with IE 5.5 
and above - not everyone has that, and I'd be willing to bet the proportion 
of people with older versions of IE is higher in the unemployed than in the 
rest of the population.
