Wow, this initiative is enough even to get CUK questioning whether the unemployed aren't chavs and untermench, imagine how popular it must to the wider electorate. I gather a few companies have dropped out of the scheme, e.g. PoundLand.

Basically the whole objective of this scam (and I can't call it anything else) is to provide cheaper labour that does not even get paid minimum wage to big companies like Tesco.
Why would anyone take on paid staff when they can get the same slaves for free? This country seems to be undergoing a change to Victorian values, and not the good ones.'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -

The entire point of Tesco using this scheme is to undercut the minimum wage and increase their profits."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Will Tesco share price rise or fall and how much money can I make on the deal?
