Thin, end of the, and wedge are the words that come to mind!! I was talking to someone who works in Tescos last week, and she said all the hours are being cut - now we know why!!! Why pay someone the going rate, when you can get someone for nothing!!! I don't have a problem with folk "working" for benefits as such, i.e doing something that wouldn't normally get done because of gov financial cuts, like painting a community centre etc, but a billion pound company like Tescos? I don't think so!

If there is work available, then employ people at the going rate to do it! It is illegal to pay less than the NMW, why should the unemployed be exempt from this? Single unemployment rate is 67 quid a week, so they should only have to work 11 hours a week. But no, they want them to do a "full" week, which works out at £1 something an hour!!! And here was me thinking slavery had gone the journey, another brilliant idea from this Tory government!!

Aye, quite agree.....also thinking of getting proper firms into prisons and paying the inmates a wage. Supposed to be rehabilitation but the facts and figures need to be scrutinised.....and what happens when they get out? Social unrest, possibly, in some form or another!

every little helps them not the customer, but what would you expect from a company owned by Jews.

It seems "people power" is winning here !!!

Our primeminster's definition of a “troubled family”, or if reading the full speech, "neghbours from hell" It is a family which satisfied at least 5 of the following 7 criteria:

a) no parent in work
b) poor quality housing,
c) no parent with qualifications,
d) mother with mental health problems
e) one parent with longstanding disability/illness
f) family has low income,
g) Family cannot afford some food/clothing items


So in fact- POOR PEOPLE! He's doing nothing about tackling the problems at all, instead his cutbacks are just creating more families who will be poor. Oh well even more people to blame for society breakdown, as long as we dont blame the Government, Hey?

Working for nothing in the offices of those forcing people to work for nothing

Having passed Tesco Kingston Park on the Metro, there is an opening for several people.
The amount of rubbish, mostly plastic bags on the track side of the building is incredible and a huge eye sore.

So Milk.....are you suggesting that people on benefits should clean up the area?
If the area needs cleaning up, then that is a job that needs doing, so in fact a JOB! So a proper paid job should be advertised to do that, shouldn't it?

Absolutely not, I don't agree with anyone working for effectively nothing. Tesco should have the resources to clear the blot on the landscape.

Yes but more to the point people who live in that area should be using the litter bins-What on earth is the matter with people that they should dump their litter then expect some one else to pick it up

Sadly, there is no cure for inbreed ignorance and indolence.
