I feel the uncalled for uproar over this scheme caused by the bitter 'Lefties' have done a lot of damage to something showing positive results. The fuss caused over this scheme is nothing more than political point scoring, unfortunately at the cost of jobs for those most vulnerable in the job market.
Let's get one thing straight, 'Anyone on a government backed scheme obtaining benefits is not working for nothing'

I would not object to the scheme if the supermarkets or any other employer paid the person the going rate for the job.
As i see it the employer is using the scheme for a few weeks cheap labour funded by the taxpayer that is the point i object to most.
It is wrong to class eople who object as" lefties" i would not call the Daily Mail leftie and even that paper the scourge of the benefits claimants has concerns.
