Gov. has announced it will soon start taking steps to implement a 30 hour a week work-placement scheme for unemployed people; whoever is called and does not attend, will have their benefits taken away.
It would be better to introduce national service, with a military-style training, but which would basicly mean giving the unemployed access to work in company-style groups, accompanied by military-style sergeants and officers.
The reason for this is that, to take away unemployment and housing benefits would imply letting young people starve, sleep out on benches, and go around asking for money or something to eat.
So better a disciplined way, where the young are cared for and receive a wage in return for following orders, involving training in factories and on farms, and carrying out duties.
I know an outcry will come my way, but is it not better than taking away benefits and leaving people to get on with it with nothing and with no money at all?!
After-all, Gov says that the idea is to get people out of bed at 7:30 AM and into a routine to go to work. But with over 5 million unemployed and more people loosing their job, and a relentless income of people from the East of Europe to get available jobs, it would be unseemly for the streets of Britain to be lined with starving young British people sleeping out on benches!
We all know that the jobs are not there for over 5 million people currently on out-of work-benefits. Hence my idea that the best routine would be a national-service kind of training, where you just get out and join the Company, follow orders, march to the factory with the whole contingent clothed in Army-green, and do what you are told, and get paid for it, even if only 20 hours a week.
But there would have to be a specific law ordering the employers in factories and on farms to employ British people, and at the latest now I shall receive a severe haranguing from Brussels!
