  • 2nd March, 2010: Labour Tell Porkies!

    Spat by Soulgirl at 5:59 pm | Comment here! Comments (4)

    What’s that Labour Party tag-line? ‘Committed in getting more people into work’… A great sales pitch you’ll agree, however, it’s all lies!

    The word committed, to me anyhow, means going ‘all out’ in supporting, following, helping and encouraging. I wonder what definition of committed Labour work to?

    I paid a visit to my local job centre today. Midway through a non-technical query about job advertisements in the local rag the ‘customer care’ operative stood up which stalled me mid sentence. “Are you trying to get rid of me” I enquired with a giggle.  And with about as much commitment and personality as a dried up dog turd answered “You only get 3 minutes”.

    3 MINUTES!

    I begged his pardon and he came back with this…. “the legal requirement is 3 minutes – we’ve other people to see”.

    So, that’s that then. There is no commitment to help people find work at all. Just a flimsy non-committal whitewash of bullshit that seems only to tick boxes that will end up as statistical data sometime in the future that will NOT give any indication, let alone a true one, of how unhelpful they are.

    What a complete bundle of bureaucratic ARSE!

      Karen, the Labour party are only interested in one thing and that is remaining in power, the people can go hang. I hope that you have landed another job Karen because your unemployment cheque will only last for six months then you’re on your own. My mate has worked all of his life and was made redundant in August his benefits have already stopped because his wife works for the minimum wage in Tesco, so they have to live off their meagre savings and just hope that something comes along, but with immigrants working for less than the minimum wage what chance does he have? I think that I will vote BNP next time, my MP is Shaun Woodward, he is reputedly worth £100, 000, 000.00 but last year he claimed £100,000 in mortage benefits on one of his seven houses. He’s supposedly a Socialist. KTF

      I wont be voting for any of the main parties that’s for sure. How they think they can know what the general public need when they’re so far removed from us is beyond me. I’ll be voting for the Pensioner Party… well, I’m nearly one myself now LOL.

      It’s not the immigrants that are the problem, it’s the employers choosing them over us ‘knowing’ they’ll accept a lower wage which in turn gives them higher profit margins. It’s all about the money! I fucking hate money!

      You know how bad things have got when places actually advertise that the jobs are only for the Polish. And I am in no way a racist just a fed up Brit x

      Do they? That’s against the law isn’t it? Or is this exempt due to Minority bullshit?
