Mine was a light hearted comment about shopping at poundland, not a shot at anyone

it's not the good value that many think, check the packaging size of products against the equivalent item in other shops.

I don't think that's strictly true;the two biggest problems identified there,are interpreters and transport in rural areas.
If people cannot people speak English, they shouldn't be allowed entry or work permits until they can. Tranpsortation in rural areas can be a bit of a problem, but what's wrong with cycling to work ? I guess the easy answer to that, is speeding on country roads.

Years ago when I used to enjoy cycling I always felt safer in the town rather than in the country, many car drivers seem to think the roads are for their exclusive use and blow pedestrians, cyclists and horses.

I agree Jan, that's why I mentioned about getting to wok in rural areas.
When I was at the LSBC a couple of years ago, they organised a minibus to take the young people to their places of work. Stewart D. was a driver there.
If there's a desire for an answer, there's always a solution to be found; finding ways to NOT do something, seems easier than finding a way to do something.

Just read this:
"IDS: One million claimants capable of work
One million people who are capable of work are "stuck" on benefits, Iain Duncan Smith will disclose today. The Work and Pensions Secretary will release figures showing how many people are long-term claimants of unemployment benefit and other welfare payments. In an annual report on his Social Justice Strategy, Mr Duncan Smith will publish statistics showing "the scale of entrenched social breakdown that has taken hold across Britain over the last decade". Even though there are 400,000 fewer people out of work than a year ago, Mr Duncan Smith will say, there are still too many people with a long-term dependency on benefits. About one million people have been on work-related benefits for three out of the past four years. All of those claimants have been formally assessed as "capable of preparing for or looking for work," the report will say.
The Daily Telegraph, Page: 1"

I have got to the stage of not bothering with any IDS statement,
I would have thought common sense would have told him that there are possibly getting on for "one million claimants" who actually want to work but find there are no jobs out there.
