Thread A
There are no jobs for single mothers anyway.
Thread B
We need plenty of migrants to do jobs that British people won't do.
Repeat ad infinitum.
Good place to start would be making / supporting child care more to enable them to do so.
Personally I'm all for getting people off benefits and into work. Not convinced this approach is the way to do it ...Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

If I had a bit more time I'd set things down in pictorial format for you. Might then be a bit easier for your birdbrain to stay on task.

There was a good article in The Guardian a while back about how the rigid mechanics of the welfare system discourage work. Take on a temporary job or take a risk on something you may not be suited for and you have to start the whole claims process over again when the job ends.bloggoth

On the actual article, experts x say this, experts y say that. Who knows? However, on the BBC news a commentator was saying the situation as described in the report was only after other changes kick in in 2012. Lot can change by then.bloggoth

Its all very well saying people should go out and work, but frankly it sticks in my craw that that argument comes usually from the Tories, who when in power, destroyed manufacturing in the UK because they were too witless to find a away to both retain manufacturing and slap the unions down (which I admit needed doing). Then we had Labour, who spent profligately and destroyed the economy and have allowed unlimited numbers of Eastern Europeans in who have now monopolised the menial jobs market.
So where are these jobs that these people are meant to go to?
The UK economy cake is now far too small to sustain a population of 65 million. That is the real issue.Hard Brexit now!

We should all be checking carefully for CCTV before sticking any small children we see in wheely bins, that would cut down the population a bit.bloggoth

Supply and demand. More people are demanding jobs so companies will supply them.
