This is getting stupid.

In a attempt by the goverment to turn the unemployed in to cheap labour it looks like
everyone including disabled are up for grabs.


When Conservative backbench MP Philip Davies suggested last year that disabled people should work for less than the national minimum wage, he was castigated, but it now appears to be government policy.


This will undermine the employment market if the companys have a workforce which is
dirt cheap and have no rights and the best bit there is no limit on how long they can be
employed(?) by high street firms.


In official notes from a meeting on 1 December last year, DWP advisers revealed they were not intending to put a time limit on the work experience placements.


No company is going to hire anyone if this is going to help keep the wage bill down.
If the goverment wants to give the unemployed some work experience in tesco this is
not the way as all that happens is someone is going to lose out on a job and some poor sod
working for less than £2 a hr.

So the bankers that started the financial problem get paid huge amounts of money and everyone else works for practically free. For example you have a man who has a job, he likes his job but instead an unemployed person can do the job and he won't get paid, the man loses his job and has to work someone else job for free. Both people are working without getting paid. It is a tool to get everyone working for free. All the disadvantages of communism but with the richest still being rich. The guy who gets fired may even be doing the same job, just for someone else. So the rich get richer because they have ultra cheap labour, and no one else can climb the ladder to wealth because everyone is getting paid bugger all.

This is similar to a move called "taskforce green" which was implemented in NZ a few years ago. It failed cause it took jobs away from those who were paid to do these jobs before and actually increased unemployment levels...What company would hire paid workers when they could get the same jobs via the unemployed for free.
This is just a form of slavery IMO...The unemployed always get the blame in a financial crisis..Job creation starts at the top..Its just too easy to focus on the vulnerable..
Re-education to add market appropriate skills is promoted here now and is quite successful..Pay a student allowance to study rather than a benefit to sit on ones hands should be the focus..A good investment IMO.

Recipe for governmental collapse..

This Coalition Government are to blind to see that their actions will most certainly come back to haunt them!
The people are not stupid and what the Government is doing is being seen by the whole of the UK.

They can no longer justify their actions as austerity cuts, it isn't washing no more. It is simply a funneling of wealth from the poor into the hands of the rich..

This is nothing but a sure fire recipe for more street skirmishes, protests and riots like the last one that kicked off in Hackney and spread throughout the UK.

Soon the rebellion will be at the front door of these toe rag, demonic, heartless and corrupt leaders and they will have nowhere to turn...

It seems to me that they don't want you to work and earn a good living now....
After reading the two links you provided up above my post I am convinced that something more than we know is going on here.
It almost sounds to me that it may be self implosion but for what reason?

The whole system is built upon this principle of getting the "weak" to do the work. I do not find this surprising in the least. Why do people accept these things? Is it because of the misnomer "Survival of the fittest" probably but until the masses are truly educated this will continue.

Most people have reduced movements, chronic pains, and no they won't be working for anyone. They just need to look after themselves with above the poverty line wages and services.
