1 we could start rebuilding all the skill centres that were closed and sold off in the 80,s which resulted in nobody learning the trades, bricklaying, plastering, plumbing, welding etc.
2 schools should have a things you should know & common sense class, most kids don't even know how to change a plug, 3 bring back yts for school leavers if unemployed (so they can actually learn something ) 4 bring back some sort of national service so that the youth of today will learn respect not only for their self's but for others too (this really should be number one ) 5 out of the eu, 6 bring back borstals & detention centers for the short sharp shock 7 schools & parents need to take responsibility for the youth of to-day (bring back the cane, slipper ) These are some of the things i would do, & as for do gooders |

Did you read what I wrote Fred or do you not have a witch hunt for 'scroungers'. Live in my head for a day and you would feel lucky to be you, with respect

And as for me having a witch hunt against scroungers, well, I don't see how anyone could think that of me given what I've posted on here, if that's what you mean. Last edited by Dragrad; 30th August 2013 at 00:31.. Reason: consecutive posts |

During the depression, the US implemented big schemes like the Hoover Dam to give people something to do. We maybe have no need for similar, but there are plenty of minor jobs locally which could occupy some of those claiming for at least a few hours a week, without putting anyone out of a full time job. Sitting about doing nothing isn't good for anyone.

I read somewhere the annual Benefits bill is £91 bn Per Year.
I also read somewhere that there are 600,000 Motability Cars in the UK. Take into account the price range of these Cars - £8k to £20k - We can then look at an average price, so that would be £14k. £14k x 600,000 Cars = £8400,000,000 Then after 3 Years these Cars are sold for a few Thousand (Less than half the value normally) which goes back to the Motability Scheme (From what I understand) - So technically all at a loss --------------------------------- Then consider: How much has the War in Iraq / Afghanistan cost the UK? How many billions have we paid to the EU just for the privilige of being told how to run our Country? How many billions have we funded in Aid, only to be used by Corrupt Gov't of that Country? Whilst I hate seeing those who choose Benefits as a Lifestyle, I also hate seeing my hard earned Taxes being sent to places that shouldn't get it......... Also, the Media have a great time working hand in hand with the Gov't slagging off Benefits Claimants, so we create a Social divide and all fall in love with Cameron the Benefits slasher, meanwhile Cameron is selling our Souls to the Highest bidders. We need to pay attention to what is going on behind the Scenes, not what the latest Gov't driven Media Frenzy is....

And that's using the term apprenticeship loosely, I have been going through it with my son, 17, amazing how many apprenticeships there are in "business admin". for real apprenticeships, like mechanic, plumbing, sparky etc, I would say it must be more like 50 candidates to 1 position Current rate for a 40 hour week seems to be about £100 a week, compared to mine that I did in joinery at £35 a week some 24 years ago. I also recall, when I did mine, I had 7 companies I could choose to work for, so it was more like 1 candidate to 7 jobs, rather than 35 candidates to 1 job as it is today. Simon
