Here's another total and utter failure who doesn't know when it's time to move on.

You really couldn't make it up.

As far as I'm aware that report/memo was put together for Cameron before the outcome of the Brexit vote and his decision to abandon ship

^Yes another total and utter political failure, Westminster is bloody full of them, this pillock Cameron knew the writing was on the wall for him after Brexit, he jumped before he was pushed, I would have paid to push him, especially if a high cliff was involved.

No wonder he jumped!

It seems that memo comes from a think tank, well I can think up this and that just like everyone else on here and we don't get paid for it.

Jobless rate falls to 4.8% - lowest level since 2005
Figures covering the first three months after the Brexit vote show the unemployment rate falling to its lowest level for 11 years.

http://news.sky.com/story/jobless-ra...-2005-10659296

Well one figure is due to a person I know who has now been sanctioned for not turning up to a course he was put on for three months. Reason he failed to attend was due too the bus braking down. So he will not be on the figures for a while.

Jimbuna · 11-16-16, 10:02 AM

Yeah, I'd like to see the latest unemployment sanctions figures but Nov last year is the latest I can find.

Sanctions can be grossly unfair but sadly, sometimes necessary and warranted.

I'd like to see an independent body responsible for them but that would obviously cost more money than what would be 'saved'.

Theresa May has accused Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn of being "not up to the job" and "incapable of leading".

How could she think such a thing?

I see that UKIP and its Euro-sceptic allies are making sure not to take or inappropriately spend any of that dirty EU money.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38016829

The EU is bad, terrible, but I'll have some of that free money thank you.

Jimbuna · 11-18-16, 10:19 AM

Most likely eventually end up at the door of the European Court of Justice.

Egads...I think I'll stick with Rage Against The Machine.

Silly season has started, thank goodness I will have nothing to do with it.
