Didn't that cologned cloud of self delight, James Purrrrnell, admit that incapacity benefit is being abused by his government to mask unemployment? <BR/><BR/>Purrrrnell was challenged about this during his Andy Marr interview, and tried to deny that he'd said this. JP stated that he'd been talking about other governments (i.e. Tory governments).<BR/><BR/>He was, however, challenged by Marr who stated that Purrrnell had indeed admitted that this government does it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35649541.post-19764587648124671542008-08-10T12:14:00.000+01:002008-08-10T12:14:00.000+01:00Philipa said...

You have to defend things that you do not personally care about .<BR/><BR/>I have to say this is where the Liberals are so useless, ID cards they notice but they canot wait to bann hunting and smoking.<BR/><BR/>In this case I see little to lose and Boris fairly signalled that he wanted to do soemthing about the incivility of London.

LBS may be a resilient person but spare a thought for the damsel. One person drinking a glass of chilled muscadet is not the same as a group downing tins of stella. As a small c conservative I have not problem in restricting activities which infringe on peoples' freedom to go about their daily business without being accosted by aggressive people.<BR/><BR/>It is noticeable how little reaction there has been to the Boris booze ban outside the libertarian blogosphere.Old BEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06974090439936326476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35649541.post-43454115425692253412008-08-10T01:32:00.000+01:002008-08-10T01:32:00.000+01:00The truth of this piece was brought home to me at ...The truth of this piece was brought home to me at the recent funeral of former member of my staff.<BR/><BR/>The young man who'd died was just 23, he'd been killed in a tragic motorbike accident, such a waste. <BR/><BR/>Hundreds of young people were at the funeral, all dressed in bright pink, the customary tie colour of the young man we were burying.<BR/><BR/>As I walked up the path to the crem, dozens of bikers roared past me, their bikes festooned with pink ribbons and bows. Don't expect I shall know anyone here, I thought to myself. <BR/><BR/>Yet how wrong I was, when I joined the queues outside the chapel a chorus of voices greeted me.<BR/><BR/>"Hi Flo! How ya doin?'<BR/><BR/>I knew almost every one of them because they'd worked for my recruitment company after they'd left school. Most had been unskilled workers and done very mundane work to earn their 'stripes': working on the flightwash at the airport, as cleaners, kitchen assistants, as waiting staff or porters.<BR/><BR/>The heartening thing is that they all had got better jobs: one was running his own roofing business, one was managing a bike shop, some were office staff, one was a chef and so on. <BR/><BR/>Those mundane jobs they did when they left school, the sort of jobs school leavers have cut their teeth on since time immemorial, proved to be a training ground and stepping stone to better things for all of them.<BR/><BR/>The tragedy is that my clients, and many other employers, rarely employ young teenagers any longer, because the health and safety regulations and the cost of insurance shut off so many jobs to young people these days. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, few employers want to employ young people who are still wet behind the ears with a country full of mature overseas migrant workers to choose from.<BR/><BR/>UK consequently has a huge problem with youth unemployment and the problems that go with it.<BR/><BR/>So nulab's attempt to micro manage unpredictability out of the job market and open up our borders has resulted in the gross unintended consequence of putting a whole generation of young people out of work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35649541.post-41382525310387177792008-08-09T22:53:00.000+01:002008-08-09T22:53:00.000+01:00in all my years in London I have witnessed a coupl...<I>in all my years in London I have witnessed a couple of pretty terrifying booze fueled scenes.</I><BR/><BR/>You should take more water with it, Newms.
