For those who hark back to the good old days of our grandfathers etc can I suggest reading Robert Tressel,s Ragged Trousered Philanthropist a interesting study in 19th century working practice's and the desire to unionise in order to deal with 'unscrupulous 'employers'
I remember my grandfather talking about having to line up with others after WW1 hoping to get picked for a days work.To clarify I am not advocating revolution I,m just interested inscial history & how history seems to repeat itself I never knew such things such as food banks existed until recently. I hope this post is not deemed political and removed |

Thanks jay for the info hard to believe its necessary in 21 St century, I know some do milk the system and don't want work,but I believe the majority do want a job I have a friend in mid fifties who desperately wants a job and applies for 15 jobs every week online most don't even acknowledge the application or say not suitable for any reason other than age which of course not allowed to in this anti discriminatory age. Bring back skill based technical colleges teach young people really skills, how many graduates in the arts and broadcasting do we need,we are one of worlds most inventive nations let's show them we still have the skills and workers who like bob the builder 'say yes we can' here endeth the lesson

Yes George, you're right. I'm sure we could remain polite and courteous at all times. Most of us do, but some continually push against a closed door and then act all hurt when it gets slammed in their face. It's a shame that a few affect so many on a subject of such everyday relevance. I think to lose the plot and try to sneak in snide personal remarks shows a very weak argument anyway. Sometimes, from some of the arguments, it's obvious that dogma triumphs over knowledge and some would fall at the first fence in a real face-to-face. Perhaps it's as well we do have the rules.
