The unemployed should be made to do 10 hours community service.A day.The goverment should also ban... online bingo, TV's, cigarettes and alcohol.
Or just pay people their benefits in vouchers for food, fuel, utilities etc (basically only the essentials). Plus invest money in getting private sector businesses recruiting again.
Do what Hitler did (not kill the Jews) but get the unemployed to join the army or build things. I was thinking some pyramids, maybe an Eiffel Tower Mark 2 in Carlisle? You get the idea.
Please tell me this is tongue in cheek. If it's not you're basically saying that the unemployed deserve no quality of life at all other than the most basic of existences. I do agree with your second bit though and would go further by saying reduce the number of uni places and bring back apprenticeships.
Nah I wasn't serious with that bit, it was just a silly response to the OP's silly idea. I definitely agree with you on bringing back apprenticeships and internships, they are much more useful than a large number of degree courses.
You can buy ***s (illegally imported ones) with milk tokens in my local tuck shop, giving people vouchers for food wouldn't help. Anyone wants to stop people from drinking, smoking or gambling I will stab them, since those 3 subjects cover pretty much my whole career and social life.
It was a fair point. I'm thinking a full size replica of St Peter's Square in Telford - and a Harbour Bridge and Opera House for Grimsby.
The unemployed should have to solve Krypton Factor style puzzles on their way to the dole counter .. they get steadily harder the closer they get .. if they fail they go home empty handed .. would give them an incentive to train up the brain and have a knock on effect on their desire to advance themselves .. has to be an assault course as the last leg as well up against 4 others
