I've noticed Aldi's (who are not involved with the government run slave labour program) are advertising for shelf stackers and such.
if they were to be talked into taking on free benefit workers by a government representative in the Mercedes. then them signs and adverts would come straight down. and never be seen again.
no need to employ anybody. they do the same job for free.

but we all know that as long as it's not them that is having to do it. then they're fine with it.
people profit from this 'slave labour'
in the real world a government would step in and talk about the minimum wage.
it just so happens that this government condone slave labour.

So the money for housing benefit, Job seekers allowance, Council Tax discounts, free prescriptions, free school meals comes from where exactly? Why should they not make a contribution?
