Where did I say that?  I said skills and used spell-checking as an example, because of the previous post.
So how have they demonstrated that they are suitable for employment? Never mind for so called 'quality' jobs. How is what I have said, any more rubbish than people who say it is lack of 'quality' jobs?

Re: Riots
We'll see next week just how hard hitting the riot sentences will end up being.
Quote:
The first appeals by people convicted of being involved in the August riots are due to be heard next week.
A Judicial Office spokesman confirmed today that 10 cases stemming from the rioting and looting in several English cities have so far been listed in the Court of Appeal for Tuesday.

Re: Riots
The Court of Appeal has rejected 7 out of 10 appeals against 'harsh' sentences in the wake of the riots.

Re: Riots
The only appeals they have allowed are for people who handled stolen goods but did not actually participate in the riots and did not attempt to incite riots. Without the 'aggravating' factor of the riot, these sentences were considered too harsh and in each case were halved.

How do they know to attribute the fall in crime to the riots? Do the riots themselves figure into the sums? They could be other causes related or unrelated to the riots as well.

... let them out again and it rises. So do we lock up petty criminals for a decade at a time, at vast public expense, or do we look for more intelligent ways of dealing with the problem - ways that ensure the crime rate stays low once they finish their sentences?
