Pity then the likes of Tesco don't feel the same way about [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/apr/13/tesco-revives-jersey-vat-avoidanceavoiding UK VAT[/url or even [url=http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2008/06/01/tescos-the-zug-deal-is-tax-avoidance/avoiding corporation tax[/url

Why have I now suddenly got this vision of you in a previous life, strutting around your sugar or tobacco plantation, gazing fondly over your flock of mulattoes? |

"Long-haired activists"?
What age are you living in?
You'll be calling them tree-huggers next.
Anyway, no-one is saying that people shouldn't be trained to do their job ... just don't call it "apprenticeships" whilst touting the figures to show how magnificently you are fine-honing the skills of the workforce.
Some of these so-called apprenticeships (most of them?) last mere weeks.

I want a job but can't get one, I will now stand even less chance than before as a job I could possibly get will now be given to someone that they don't need to pay.
Do you not understand this premise?
Some people are screaming out for work that they can't find, These jobs are clearly there or Tesco wouldn't be able to find work for these free jobs so why not employ folks who want to work for a proper wage?
Because they are greedy so-and-so's is why and the Government are bloody stupid or corrupt you decide. |

Anakin Skywalker's from this "real world" that keeps being spoken of, doesn't sound too great to me.

Figures for the three months to September - a time of year that traditionally sees an influx of temporary migrant labour, particularly in the agricultural sector - quoted in isolation to make a political, xenophobic point by the Express.
Quelle surprise.

Why is there a temporary influx this year when we have all these fit young people really keen on getting a job - "any job"?
Why do you discount facts that don't suit your slanted views? |
