I dont think many will say been a layabout is better than stacking shelves however the fact he came out with that comment means he is out of touch with the real issue.

If tesco have vacancies for trial positions then they should be advertising these to everyone and paying any wage on top of whatever income that person may already have.
The DWP shouldnt be discriminating on age which they do time and time again. It seems been long term unemployed is fine the older you are with more entitlement to housing costs as well as less pushing from the job centre to find work.
If they want to shrug of slave labour labeling the very yeast they need to do is scrap any sanctions for not taking part, tesco have insisted on this themselves so if IDS doesnt back down they will probably pull out I expect, if he does back down my guess is they will stay in.

I agree maggy although its better than nothing his comments are very wrong.
