Another one bites the dust...
m.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-29170107
According to his son he was only unemployed a couple of weeks in sixty odd years. Good one. What''s the longest you've been on the dole for? How would you get people back to work? Job sharing? Cutting immigration? Euthenasia? Or are we just destined to have a large amount of benefit claimants?
Edit, just for frog, breakfast? Weekend plans? Favourite pet?

Either working in a pub has turned you into a raging UKIP/BNP/TORY propaganda-spouting mindless mouthpiece...
...or you are trolling. There is a very small likelihood that you actually want a reasoned debate.
I will try very hard not to be drawn in.

I seriously do, I was taking the piss with those suggestions obviously. Basically, not many jobs, lots of unemployed. Any ideas? Myself, I don't know.

Look at the figures
3% of the benefit budget is JSA. 51% is Old age pension. Most of the rest actually goes to working people to bolster the 'low wage economy' that the Tory party actually BRAG about* - as if keeping people poor was a good thing! Who would have thought it eh?

*Viz 'any questions' last week.

I wasn't commenting on the benefit budget, but the task of creating decent paid jobs. I've signed on twice, it's fuck all,
if I hadn't been working on the side, it would have been grim.
