and then you have the longterm unemployed who though most are willing to work wont get jobs from many firms as they tend to shun the long term jobless

They sure are deceiving, considering half the people claiming sickness benefit would be better of on the dole but what do peoples lives matter as long as the figures look nice, good point about the long term unemployed as well, who say's they are shunned, the dole office perhaps? The same dole office that has in a lot of cases left them to rot for years, without even bothering to check if they have cv's?

I have worked with hundreds of them and can honestly say they are no more hard working than anyone else, Britain has always worked the longest hours in Europe, that hasn't changed since the Polish arrived and in my experience neither has the output where I work
