Let jobless pick fruit

[capfits]

@acrobob care to enlighten us to what a "paddies" are?

Is much fruit grown around Scunthorpe, or wherever the steel plants are?

Only a short bus ride to Boston Lincs. Not really that far to Worcestershire.

Some people may not want to work, they are in the minority and those who are unemployed should not all be classed as idle scroungers (unless you subscribe to the Daily Mail).
What is the difference between those claiming benefit illegally and those that fraudulently claim private expenses against the business, both are illegal and both reduce the amount of tax available to the exchequer. The difference would appear to be that the perpetrators of the frauds are at different ends of the socio-economic scale, those claiming benefits are seen as lowly idle workers and should all be flogged for not having gainful employment, while those evading tax are salt of the earth and self employed who believe tax evasion is acceptable.

I came across an article recently noting that in America the revenue is trying to computerise the auditing of tax returns. Unfortunately it appears that it works better for the less complicated affairs of the less well off, the wealthy, however, tend to have more involved finances which computers can't cope with, thus leaving it to laborious human auditing, which is exactly what the IRS is trying to avoid. One doesn't need to be a genius to see who is going to escape paying their fair dues.

It's not just low paid work that folks aren't interested in.
A dentist must be among the top earners in the UK, yet how many have had to be drafted in from foreign lands ?

well when they see the capitalist banks getting handouts , it is the people going work that need to have a look at them selfes

Aren't you mixing the two ? A job pays the job not benefits .. that's the whole point.

not in new zealand .
to keep lands lords and employers afloat , we have accommadation supplement , and working for familes , food banks , with no business risk what so ever .
if we had real risk , every body would be employed
