All those jobs lost to underpaid foreigners willing to work for peanuts is adding to the jobless total
Unfortunately it's not thanks to hugely distorted government figures. What it is doing though is forcing thousands of genuinely sick and disabled into forced labour, and hundreds of thousands of able bodied folk into part time work at best, zero hour contracts or worst of all, unpaid work.
I began my working life in the early 1970's so witnessed first hand the battles between the bosses/government and unions. There was right and wrong on both sides but Thatcher made it her mission to not just bring the unions under control, but absolutely destroy them.
Don't get me wrong, I think the unions did need reigning in a bit back then, but 40 odd years later the pendulum has swung way too far the other way. How can it possibly be right to force people genuinely seeking employment to work for nothing when the jobs just aren't there ?
The latest stroke from this government is apparently to force people to 'sign on ' at the Job Centre in person DAILY. How on earth is that going to work ? The Job Centres have already been reduced so you may have to travel miles to get to one by whatever means, on £71 a week ?
This lot don't have a clue or a care for it's own citizens. I'm not convinced that Farage has the answers but at least he's an alternative so he will get my vote on that basis alone.
