I can't understand why millions are unemployed in this country while there are serious staff shortages everywhere. I appreciate that skilled jobs require skilled workers but that still leaves many manual jobs vacant, e.g. warehouse staff, kitchen staff, cleaners, fruit veg and flower pickers etc. Life on benefits is too comfortable for some people so they won't take a manual job. I know of people who have never worked in their whole life and just play the system.
Time for the government to allocate jobs to people like in my grandfather's day. You were sent to any vacancy that existed and couldn't refuse. He had the first bananas to come into England after the war given to him, as he was sent to work unloading the ships. Loved it there so stayed until he retired.
We need a new system here to allocate jobs. Too many people thinking they can only do white collar workActually, I will reply, sod it. If you Sazzl are on a pension, you are receiving a benefit, even if you have paid in to the system. Many people claiming UC have also paid into the system, so on this basis, and using your own twisted logic, you too should be sent to wherever your unskilled labour is needed, so, what's it to be Sazzl, cutting up pig carcasses, or picking cauliflowers from frozen fields in January? Or is it only 'them' who should be forced into work which repels them?
So what is the answer Gill? I don't agree with Sazzl but as you say this work 'repels' folk. Who should do it then?
