Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

If they drop out of the scheme they dont get benefits then. Simple as that.

And as for Dopey Tory Gauke he says we cant fund it.........WRONG.......as he forgot we will also have the Mansion Tax, a tax on public schools, and at some time during our 5 year stay and more, a few percentage points lobbed on Inheritance tax.

Dont you forget you taxed our pasties well were going to tax your pheasants.

Cynic, where have you been all day..............

'Starter jobs'
Up to 80% of the jobs that will be created will be in the private sector,

Hays shot yourself in the foot here, why do you think their are so many people on sanctions.........because they arent PROPER JOBS, labour will provide PROPER JOBS.....

There will be growth in the private sector, but they will employ people when they need them. Forcing people to take a job is a good idea up to a point. The critical point is where you force people to take jobs who are either incapable to holding down a job or people who don't want a job or the job that is offered. Any company taking people like that are going to be pretty pissed off and will drop out of the scheme.

"proper jobs" created by whom?
jobs in the private sector are primarily created by growth in demand - as i have written above
does imposing "extra workforce" actually create additional demand for the products or services the employer is providing?

as i see it, the labour wonder kid thinks he'll just wave a magic wand, whereas it'll just be more smoke and mirrors, which is something you have rattled on about and against for some months here

================

i know for sure and first-hand that the reason we have stayed in business for the last 30 years, and thus through at least two severe recessions, is because we have only ever taken on extra staff when they were truly needed - and not overpaid ourselves either

during this same period, we have seen a very significant number of players in our niche industry disappear under the waves for failing in the above two disciplines

gf
There are no benefits. The 'benefits' are the wage subsidy for 6 months.

How can you tax public schools as they are charities and don't make profits?

How are Labour going to provide proper jobs that last just 6 months. It is a fantasy.

Now just hold on a second Cynic YOUR THE ONE who as been preaching economic growth for the last 6 months, so have you done a UTURN on your previous thinking?.

OR are you just rambling on as usual having done no research as per norm.

not at all .... why don't you read what i actually wrote? .... i'm afraid it is a regular habit of yours to manipulate my words into what you wish i had written

in fact our Rotterdam office - it's to where we have now moved our h/q - has taken on 2/3/4 new people over the last year, but that is because there was a genuine need for them

Hays so what are the long term unemployed doing now under the Tories.

Ill tell you 2 months on a word processor learning how to compile a CV, 2 months in mock interviews and 2 months learning the basics of health and Safety.........now after 6 months of that they are labeled apprentices.......LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL.

Labour will find them placings with proper employers not JOB CLUBS who are raking it in from the tax payer.

Might not have to tax public school boys, see here............

Amid an argument over the cost of the scheme, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said Labour's previous bank bonus tax had been "relatively effective" in raising up to £2.3bn, more than was expected at the time.

still then again I think we should tax them just for the hell of it.

don't be a naughty tease sticky
i take it you don't think as much fun as a target :-)
