Next import cheap Polish workers for Xmas jobs before even advertising them in the UK

Or we could raise min wage, in doing so giving more financial incentive to work, and reduce the welfare bill that is making up what employers should be paying their workers. Or replace welfare with universal basic income, then that way as you work you work tops up your income compared to where you lose benefit money as you gain wage money.

Full employment was discarded ages ago. It is official policy to have at least 2 million unemployed people (or something like that).

So, you cant make a poor person wealthier through min wage unless they make themselves more attractive to employers.....

Therefore?? What is it you're suggesting again?

How are you planning to get the feckless and underclass to work?

Do you even have much contact with the unemployed or do you just believe what you see in the Daily Fail?

Many unemployed people want a job. The 'feckless' and 'underclass' you speak of are a minority.

I run businesses, we've seen plenty that have come through our doors that don't meet your statement of "unemployed people want a job"

Minority? I highly doubt it else there won't be as big an influx of Polish, Romanians and other EU-10 countries nationals in UK doing all the minimum wage jobs.

In fact these days, there is just as big an influx of "coloured Nordics" going over to UK for work because they are essentially unemployable in Scandinavian countries but somehow manage to gain employment in UK.

Raising min wage, means employers have to pay more money, which means they raise prices on goods- which has just now cancelled-out the increase in min wage and also increased inflation.

So your business is representative of every business in the UK? I'm guessing you're in the warehousing business (which I like to call slavery)? Well I am actually from the area in which the Next factory is and I can tell you now that there is no lack of people in that area who want a job.

I have worked in warehousing for a good while before I got a better paid and respectable job (research) and it just isn't worth the long term health problems that it can cause and the low pay. A lot of warehouses and agencies just reach for bare minimum standards which I find disgusting. I found cleaning toilets to be better than warehousing. Least I got treat like a human being. In warehouses you're not viewed as being human. You're an ant, but if enough ants revolt they can take over the colony.

IMO the recruitment industry (job agencies) need more tight regulation. It's like any tosser can set up a recruitment business. The only thing we can do is name and shame crap agencies and businesses that deal with them.

Ive said it about four times now- they should be offered these Next jobs and if they refuse, remove their benefits.

You do realize unproductive workers eventually also cause prices of goods to go up don't you?

First bold part- shoot them with rubber bullets. If a few die- we'll decrease the benefits bill and remove a few idiots in the process.

Second bold part- I keep repeating myself, take away their benefits and starve them. They either work- or they starve (this is for people who have refused a job offered to them).

One of the businesses I'm also involved in is cold-chain logistics, cold warehouse environment that collects, repacks and ships out seafood abroad, funny you'd think that is slavery considering all the lifting and moving are done by machines, no doubt it is cold in there but slavery like conditions? I'm pretty sure none of my Polish workers think so. It's attitudes like yours' that today in UK plenty of employers prefer workers from EU rather than home grown ones?

What a ****ing cop-out. You must have no semblance of conscience if you fail to argue against my points yet continue your flawed way of thinking. Enjoy the hell you've made for yourself on earth.

Erm, let me understand you correctly......You think its wrong to:

-Shoot people with rubber bullets who are rioting?
-Remove benefits from those who were offered a job?



Care to tell me which one of the above is wrong and why exactly?

You think it's right to take away someone's bread just so that they become a slave to some multi-million pound corporation?

Slaves aren't paid the national minimum wage mate .....

Slaves aren't paid the national minimum wage mate .....

Slaves are fed and housed in order to work.
