    My father in law had a run in with him once, and called them "pikeys without a caravan" - yuo can always rely on the older generation to be sufficiently racist and say the stuff you would like to.

    As a result of the obsession with doing background checks that this government has forced upon companies, a very large proportion of those that loose their jobs in this recession will never work again. They will have gaps in their employment record and a less than spotless credit history. Both of which will result in the candidate being rejected. Never mind, there are plenty of migrant workers to take their place.

    It's a necessary correction. People under 35 need to learn that money doesn't grow on trees (or bricks for that matter).

    300K was predicted by the end of this year...

    a sort of starter for 10

    One expert was expecting 150k from the City alone, over the next 2 years, in a drip, drip fashion.

    Hold tight it could get scary.....

    Ditto. 300K job losses is a huge underestimate. A million minimum is more like it.

    Yes. By about 3 to 5 times.
