Prospects for employment? Much better than they were under Mr. Major and Mrs. Thatcher.
Indeed. I remember a certain Mrs T campaigning back in 1979 on campaign "LABOUR ISN'T WORKING" complete with huge dole queues, only for her government to ramp up unemployment as quick as they possibly could. Yes, the ushering in of an era of mass welfare dependency not seen since the 1930s
At least, us progressives only ever saw welfare as the safety net it was only ever intended to be. Them neo-liberal reactionaries did their level best to ensure it became a way of life. And Labour are having to deal with the consequences
When David Cameron atones for the part
his party played in generating the economic conditions that sowed the seeds of his so-called "broken society", I might start and have a bit more respect for him. Not that my respect is easy to come by, whether friend or foe. That 'Kruschev Moment' is a long time coming. Until such time as it does, he's a fake
I'm not surprised so many young people of parents cynically thrown the scrap heap are claiming incapacity. It's the only ruddy life they know. It makes my blood boil
