Anakin Skywalker's from this "real world" that keeps being spoken of, doesn't sound too great to me.






If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Frederick Douglas

Do you not understand this premise?
Some people are screaming out for work that they can't find, These jobs are clearly there or Tesco wouldn't be able to find work for these free jobs so why not employ folks who want to work for a proper wage?
Because they are greedy so-and-so's is why and the Government are bloody stupid or corrupt you decide.


You can add my vote to the 'corrupt' column.

Figures for the three months to September - a time of year that traditionally sees an influx of temporary migrant labour, particularly in the agricultural sector - quoted in isolation to make a political, xenophobic point by the Express.

Quelle surprise.

Why is there a temporary influx this year when we have all these fit young people really keen on getting a job - "any job"?

Why do you discount facts that don't suit your slanted views?

No, but given the circumstances of his demise, how apt that he was named "Bob"

Because it is easier for the agriculture sector to attract immigrant labour for a short season that it is to recruit from the UK, the whole ballache of signing on and off and the length of time it takes to sort stuff like housing benefits at the end of the season do not make these short term roles attractive to UK residents. This is one area the Universal Benefit should help with, I can't see it though, people signing on and off are harder to manage that those signing on all the time.
