1 million vacancies the BBC trumpeted (we need more workers from abroad) I had to dig but eventually found that there are nearly 5 million unemployed.

Time the government did it's job and started to encourage these people back into work.

One more point

200,000 unemployed all living within an easily commutable distance from 200,000 job vacancies that conveniently fit their particular skill sets and requirements. Assume you think all 200k of those unemployed are bums taking liberties on welfare, no qualies, and should be thankful for anything that comes their way, nay, forced to work for the inconvenience.

Staggering oversimplification. Beyond parody

Same point for the 5 million. The base simplicity of the concept makes sense, but as a practical, worked though, implementable solution it’s complete waffledross

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

When foreign farm workers enter the UK, they sign a contract until the end of the ‘picking” season, they also agree to leave at the end of that time. On arrival ther are given leave to enter until the end of their contract ( normally Oct/Nov). If they do not leave they are here illegally and therefore have broken the law. If you are content with people breaking the law, whatever nationality, so be it

Have you geniunely never seen able bodied people on the dole who could easily walk into the jobs in their locality? I think that would be beyond parody. I'm not asking for forced labour. The minimum wage in Ireland is a tenner. And so many places offering a lot more.
All you've done is shot me down, and offered absolutely nothing. You should perhaps be Minister for Employment, or at leary shadow one. Let's just carry on paying people for nothing forever. That's bound to work out well. The poor dears.

The Sick Man of Europe.....looks like a return to the 1970s. Power cuts next? Winter of discontent due to huge inflation and price rises?

Pro China, EU & Palestine

The Spanish paper picked up on the no chicken at the KFC, fuel shortages, inflation up, no food in the shops, you couldn"t make it up! Still, in no way, I repeat, NO WAY, anything to do with the current government, they have only been in for 12 years and it takes time to organise things!When they settle in to the job, bed down, things should hopefully get a tad better, even food in the shops that you actually want to buy maybe, if you are lucky!
