Zoë Sumra Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 This is an entirely pointless discussion. We should spruce up our act immediately... ... by moving onto the Welfare Reform Bill.Seriously, "making work pay"? How is that meant to be achieved except by incentivising companies to pay more? "Jobs for British workers" - illegal last time I looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Making work pay is hard when there aren't jobs in the first place to pay and the ones that are around demand qualifications that you can't get because you can't afford to go to university any more. It's a self-defeating cycle. I'd actually be impressed if it was a deliberate move to create a disenfranchised underclass that can be tapped as a virtual slave labour force to pick up litter and clean park benches (meaning you can then sack the people whose actual jobs it is to do that), but that would be giving too much credit to Cambournelegg.Best bit about IDS's round of the news programmes was the fact that he let slip even the new system will still leave an 'irreduceable core' of habitual benefit cheats that are untouchable, whilst about twenty seconds earlier he was indicating that the goal of the programme was to get even them into work. Again, none of the interviewers picked up on it.What are the odds that a future ConLib proposal will be to remove the right to vote from the unemployed?

BigFatCoward Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 bollocks, obama is coming on a state visit, means we will have to put up with dickhead americans carrying guns everywhere and being incredibly rude (and wearing sunglasses and talking into their sleeves, twats). also i won't get a day off for about a fortnight.

Horza Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hi.I heard you guys were having a referendum this year about ditching first past the post for optional preferential voting and some people are talking shit about it. Take it from the people who invented it: they're wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonious Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Nah it's crap. It's not true PR, it's a compromise to keep the Tories happy. It's better than what we have currently but it's not good enough by a long stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horza Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Oh sure, but it won't require expensive new counting machines, drag out the counting procedure, be too complex for poor little England, lead to a perpetual UKIP-MRLP diktat (a risk under PR) etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Mongoose Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Kids to be taught non-words in school.A number of made-up words such as "koob" or "zort" are to be included in the government's planned new reading test for six-year-olds in England.The UK Literacy Association said the plan was "bonkers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinDonner Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Because... English doesn't have enough other words that six-year-olds might not already know? They are going to be fucked when they're old enough to play Scrabble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
