Careful, Alan - you are perilously close to slipping into Twitter mode.

It doesn't make any sense though - if people actually DID what Alan suggested in his twitter he'd be one of the first up against the wall.

Re: Unemployment is rising

Meanwhile ,Labour have an idea :idea: They are going to force people to work on threat of removing benefits if they get sacked,leave or refuse,they are also going to pay companies enough money to cover 25hrs work ,

why does this sound familiar :scratch:

Quote:

He will pledge all under-25s who are jobless for more than a year will be given paid work for six months and a bank bonus tax would be used to fund the plan.Under his policy, the Government would pay businesses enough money to cover 25 hours of work a week at minimum wage - approximately Â£4,000 per person. In return, the employers must offer 10 hours training a week.

I meant, for example next time there is an election vote anyone but Tory and Lib Dem (or Labour if you must), Tory votes are better off voting UKIP for example

I am not keen on them whatsoever, but I am suggesting this so that the Tories fall apart and cease to become a major poltical force

Unemployment fell by 35,000 to 2.65 million over the December-to-February period, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

The unemployment rate edged down from a 12-year high of 8.4% to 8.3%, the lowest level since the summer of last year.

Re: Unemployment is rising

Although good news would possible argue this more down to we heading into summer and seaside towns recruiting for the season. Not withstanding those theme parks which shut during winter.

I don't advocate any party, because there is no party I 100% agree with, but if you must vote, vote for any minor party to teach them a lesson (except the far right)

Lies, damn lies, statistics.

From the ONS data itself, although you won't see anyone talking about this as it's 'racist'.

Quote:

UK nationals in employment was down 166k on a year earlier. non-UK nationals was up 166k from a year earlier.

Also from ONS data and I hope you'll hear plenty about this.

Quote:

And there's been a massive increase 89k, 6.8% on quarter on number of people working part time because "could not find full time work"

Quote:

largest inc in employment is "part time self employed" up 25k. Full time - down 27k.

In short to describe this as good news is farcical, jobs are inevitably poorer quality, less hours, and are going to probably cheaper EU migrants rather than our own people, hence the welfare bill continues to rise.

This is an absolute unmitigated disaster, coalition are so horny over corporatist supply-side policy they're doing nothing to increase demand, quite the opposite their squeezing us through tax rises and entitlement cuts.
