On the surface a fine idea, but when you look a little deeper....

For example: Sending 18-21 year old job seekers to help in care homes. Would you like the thought of someone who is there against their will, doing work they have no interest in, caring for an elderly relative?

I certainly hope they send these young people into an environment where it will actually help their career prospects, rather than hinder.

There's also the possibility that the organisations who participate will see this as a source of cheap labour, therefore undercutting the rights of their existing work forces.

Considering it's from the Tories, with their "punish the benefit scroungers" election mantra, I sincerely doubt this has been thought through properly.....:hmmm:

It's more populist clap-trap that's just to buy votes from the Daily Mail crowd and stop them drifting off to UKIP.

Daily Mail can seriously cause health problems and death.

Daily Express can seriously cause health problems and get you hooked on the weather.

^^^
Lets us pray

Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
The power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen.

In other words please god dont let the Tory bastards in..............

During the interview, Ms McVey described herself as a "compassionate Conservative"
There you go again demonising this compassionate young lady, before you know it you'll be living the high life in some flash old folks hostel right next door to a convenient foodbank.

Come on now lads how much more compassionate can you get than that. :D

Comedian Al Murray has announced plans to stand against UKIP candidate Nigel Farage in the next election.

"It's utterly ridiculous. He has no genuine policies: it's as if he's trying to turn democracy in this country into one big joke" said Al Murray...

PM Warns Of Labour-SNP 'Nightmare Scenario'


Better off warning us of his ConLib scenario where old Toff Boy beats the crap out of the poor and arse licks the banks while Nick goes around looking for scraps off his masters plate.

Looks like the English part of the Conservative Party are trying to make things as hard as possible for the Scottish part.

All the rhetoric that twat Shapps comes up with does is feed the "Conservative Party = Anti-Scottish Party" line that the SNP use very, very effectively.

Having written that, though, Conservatism didn't really exist as such in Scotland. It was Unionism based on three tenets - "Church, Empire and Union". The Church of Scotland is becoming increasingly irrelevant, there's no Empire these days and the Union is in deep doo-doo.

Little wonder the political right in Scotland is up the creek!:doh:

Mike.
