daft government daft young sceme

[Vinylization]

And that was the bit I was waiting for.
"Mind you, I can say that about a few adults that I know too."
My point is that there will always be people who just don't want work and have no work ethic.
It is not principally the domain of young people. Age is not a factor but attitude is.
Personal responsibility is a given for most people, the fact that where this is not the case has been allowed to go on for generations makes this the responsibility of everyone and not just the young.
Like your subnote btw.

And it was your fault you spent so much time in the forums. The evidence is right in front of you

My theatre group has been in positions to offer voluntary/ training placements in the past (techincal/ front-of-house etc) with references and feedback, we went so far as to offer these to the Jobcentre if they had any long term unemployed who might want to learn about lighting/ sound-tech/ publicity/ customer service etc, at no cost to the jobcentre or government, but they didnt want to know. *shrug*

i blame thatcher enough said
sold off everything and still put the country on their knees

she who put in place yts and bought up a country of kids HAVING TO WORK FOR PENNIES INSTEAD OF POUNDS

a fair days wage for a fair days work should be offered not £10.00 plus jsa to cover expenses the £10.00 i was given never even covered my travel fare yet i still went on a course before my accident , i gained employment and was on good money now i get no money for illness due to work accident , great ethics government produce
yet they can claim for bog roll i can`t even get free prescriptions , then they wonder why kids are selling drugs etc. obviously they can make more in 20 minutes than working a full day of hard graft

i blame thatcher

If I only had a pound for every time I've heard that. I'd never have to work again.

If you're looking for a job, come up to Glasgow and stand as a Labour MSP, just repeat "I blame Thatcher" every time you talk to someone, you can't fail to get elected.

Unfortunately Thatcher hasn't been in power for over 20 years, and Labour were in power for 13 of them. There must be someone else to pin the blame on.

There lies another problem. Jobcentres that are little more than "sign here see you in a fortnight" centres.
They should be leaping at the chance to provide the experience you offered for people.
Sadly they seem to serve little or no purpose.

Btw I don't like Thatcher either, but years of "we'll just tick things along as they are" Labour government didn't exactly help either.
Coupled with the apparent inability of this government to provide any kind of meaningful solution this could be a very long haul.
Just pray that Greece don't default, Italy and Spain don't falter and the French don't get sucked into the mix as that would be just plain catastrophe.

But hey it's nearly Christmas, let's hope everybody has loads of sales because as normal it will be the small and medium sized businesses that will save the UK economy.

It must be a sociologists paradise, history repeating itself again, YTS that was like 30 years ago and (is the Argentine economy strong, hope so, and no elections looming) its like we're back to a similar place. Vinylization got a point

the responsibility of everyone and not just the young

we are part of this society so we are to blame in a way, I cant pack my backpack this time and take a one trip out of this mess for 10 years, if I could use some of Merlin's words

put the country on their knees

so they appear to be great... Yes those who claim for their bog rolls "went to a good school" want us to look up at them, maybe the next big idea will be free bog rolls for all who live within the sphincter of the M25, the rest of us can take our tin can of water and go for a defecatio in the local beck......Ok to avoid being taken literally, I think politics in this country may need some fresh new ideas and thinking...gawd help us if they bring back their old mental health acts and start locking unmarried mother up in asylums or sticking them in workhouses, I am sure some would not object but its been done before in living memory and thats right back to where we are now.

stick em in a room full of unmarried moms and they teach each other how much more they can get in benefits
