But this wasn't even my point - Labour claim to guarantee 25hrs a week jobs. Where I lived, I struggle to see where the 1000+ jobs this would require are coming from.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by RedSauce View PostI am sure there is some way of capitalising on these plans, it could be a good source of cheap labour if you adopted a chain-gang mentality. The government are paying them so am sure whoever employed them would have the wages heavily subsidised as it is only really an incentive to get them off benefits.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostI didn't claim anything of the sort. I was just talking about my experiences, and my neighbours. Quite possibly there are other small towns where everyone is stuck on benefits with no work, and would love to earn a good living, all I can say is this was not the case where I lived.

You've got the choice of the blue-veined potato-headed turd and the red fresh-blooded, straight from the colon turd, both of which are forced down your throat and yet you all think one tastes better than the other?
And as for the lazy pejoratives of "the nasty party" and "the progressive party", do you think the stench will be anything better between the two?
Both are part of a political elite that want nothing more than for you to be distracted by the minutiae of detail that hide behind the true nature of increased taxes, bigger state and the circumvention of personal freedoms.
Until you understand this, this bickering is pointless.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

Don't start with the old can't get jobs, the 50= warehouse guy & 60+ gardener found new jobs in the last year.
Now I have sympathy for some areas where work is almost impossible to get.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
