It all sounds like the return of the work houses from years ago.
Get the unemployed cleaning the streets, you wont need the street cleaners, they will lose their jobs, will have to sign on and then be put to work doing the same job, only for nothing, or rather their dole money.

They're already signing on by the look of my town.
Yes, please give some of these unemployed smackheads a brush and shovel, and give those who WANT to work some proper training that will actually get them a JOB, not just add to the profits of some privatised so-called training agency.
Clamp down on ageism too !
shut down of council services, with the cuts from central gov they don't have the money to pay for the services any longerWhat street cleaners ?

Exactly, and that was why I wrote what I did in my complete post.shut down of council services, with the cuts from central gov they don't have the money to pay for the services any longer
Councils being short of cash isn't going to change anytime soon, but the way the unemployed are treated/re-trained IS something that can be changed.

But plenty of money paid to trumped up jobs for officials!
Mick.
every year has been the same for as long as i can remember, yes the dark days when the question was, can we have a pay rise, the answer , you have a job think yourself lucky and indeed we was lucky to be in work,
The last few years we have had a percentage rise, and once the ones who has money worked it out , thats a bloody wast of time its worked out at so and so, well my thoughts was thats a little extra to go away, we all have to cut your cloth accordinglyto what we have and what we can get for that amount, good luck to anyone earning more then me and those who dont , well get another job or spend it wise
Always endeavoured to work where the money is. ..I've been extremely lucky with my current employer. .I'll never get this money elsewhere. ..I've put it about before though, even working away in France...I wasn't afraid to get on my bike. .so I've earn't it
No, get rid of the coffin dodgers at 65 to make room for the youngsters.

If you tweak benefits a bit to make it the bare minimum and then up rates of pay to a proper living wage the problem will subside. Also make attendance at job centres more frequent.
I don't think a lot of the unemployed are lazy, just crafty, as I reckon most of them are working cash in hand somewhere.
Pete, some of us (I'm 62) will find that term offensive.
I'm all for opportunities for the young. My own son is 20, and needs a future.
However, there SHOULD be opportunities for all, if we can weed out some of the parasites and if our government (well, a succession of them) can get their heads out of their Rses and properly sort out some MEANINGFUL training and recruitment in this country, that will actually produce candidates able to do some productive work geared to current business and commerce.
Please accept my apologies, no offence meant
No probs, I should have put a wink after it.Please accept my apologies, no offence meant
