absolute cods wallop. The should allow the long term unemployed to take 6 to 12 months off looking for work ( specially seeing as there is only 1 job for every 5 unemployed ( keep having to use these figures cuz some refuse to acknowledge this reality )) so they can go to collage and learn some sort of trade or at least create decent courses in things like plumbing or carpentry or bricklaying. Or even reintroduce schemes for apprenticeships or a better fairer implementation of the YTS scheme they had in the 90s. Obviously not the same as it was not that fair but it gives those under the age of 18 who may not be academic to learn practical skills and get a wage as they are not entitled to benefits as a rule
