This is where the "dole" system is so wrong. Take a job or go hungry! If the pay is so poor, then and only then should "dole" be topping it up but then that brings up the poor pay. "Dole" should not be more then minimum wage.
It is a shame the article does not question why the unemployed are not taking the jobs.
Fresh turkeys are very expensive compared to frozen.
Dont get me wrong, my post is not a rant at the foreigners, good luck to them, it is however a rant at those already in the UK and taking handouts and not taking a job.

Nail, head, go! Unfortunately, there are some jobs which appear to be 'beneath' a lot of British people - care work, meat processing, fruit picking etc. And don't get me started on HGV drivers - dumbing down the test to get more people through is just madness! Typical short-term bodge by politicians who won't be around to see the erosion of standards
