I have to show my ignorance here and say that I thought GOB was a real web site, sorry, I was not taking the Mickey.
Much of what you say that needs doing, I agree with and many of those that are unemployed would agree with as well, I think.
But where are these jobs that IDS say unemployed must find?
Closing agencies will instantly create jobs. Pfizer's, Dover Cruise Terminal, Box Factory, Tilmanstone salads, even the ferries I believe use agency staff and many more in our area.
One of my sons works self employed on the railways, working for a sub contractor who works for a sub contractor who works for Rail Track, He earns £16 per hour, so what is the 1st and 2nd sub contractor earning for doing nothing more than passing a job on. He travels as far as Norfolk, Wales and Portsmouth and people from those areas work around here, work that out? He often gets to jobs many miles away, only to be told to go home, because mistakes have been made, mainly with communication from one sub to another and the whole team gets paid, great stuff for them, not so well for the tax payer.
Nurse's having to work alongside agency staff, on three times more pay and having to pay £6 parking for the privilege.
Take the greed out and put some commonsense back in and we will start getting somewhere.
And yes BarryW, the last Government did nothing to help resolve these issues; sadly I do not believe we stand any chance of this lot making any difference either.
