    Anyone on the dole for more than a year is enlisted into the Army, front line. That will get them of their bums.

    Too many of these old coffin dodgers taking up jobs that could be done by the disenchanted Yoof, innit?

    useful to who?

    I'm always amused by the attitude that immigrants are like aid workers and should be treated with awe.

    They are here because they can earn more money or have a better life than they can in their home country.

    The majority will displace less qualified, less able or older UK workers.

    they are here for their own reasons, individually they are very nice (mostly).

    Although I may be being a bit silly.
    nope perfectly sensible, its a balance. You get Supermarkets & other large organisations to contribute enough that it isn't a cheap option. Give them the 18 month plus hopeless ones and let them deal with them, cheaper than paying ATOS to do it.

    The ones you can turn around quickly go to the SMEs with nice experience mixes.

    You tell the big ones they are the only one with resources to take the risky ones.

    Its not cheap labour its cheap training if you get it right.
