What are we coming to?

I have received yet another E-Mail about work.  My problem I am registered disabled?  I am 71?  Iam on benefits/pension, and every thing I earn is taxed at 85% in the pound?
 I have offered my skills for free but they won't take it, I have said pay ot into my pension, they won't.  The government and Labour party are asking for people who have retired and can give skills back to its members to do so, so again offered and no reply except they stopped my benefits for 6 months while they checked if I could work or are already working? 
  I get between 2 and 5 e-mails a month like this.

  Cardiff council won't allow me to except any position unless I pay 85% in the pound off extra earned income.  That means I am working for 15pence in the pound per hourly rate.  Example £20/hour rate gives me £3.00/hour. minus tax?  the government really need to look at this, how am I supposed to get any savings when at the moment EVERY POUND OVER the amount they say I need to live on is stopped at 85%, they say our pension ( married couple ) is £33 over the limit and is stopped at source by council tax and housing benefits, I get less £28.05 in my pension now, try adding this to it...

Hello @onebigvoice. Who are you receiving these emails from? Is it a recruitment company?

Yes it is, sinnce my C V has been with them since I became registered as disabled over 25 years ago.
  They head hunt me for teaching and Mechanical Engineering posts as well as managerial posts, which is great but because of the latest legislation and that my disability is really getting the better of me, I am restricted so I have become an active community member of Unite, hence the use of documents in law or tribunal that I use for other members.
  The latest reason of course is that the Cariff Council will not explain this excess of income I have or that any income is now classed as unearned so is placed against my benefits at the rate of 85% in the pound.
  Even Branson doesn't pay that?

You can edit this but this is someone else I am with and mentioned before Mike Orton as I am with them and they invite me to join meeting to " Fix the system " including the way in which the assessment process is administered.  The last one was in June of this year.
  I have copied his E-Mail and Like edgeware who also have my CV which is the one above for up to L5 Tutors had even offered accomodation.
  This E-Mail asking me to book a spot for an up and comming meeting, which I have done.
My posts are long since I have to show where I get my information from.
