Hasnt took long for Cameron to distance himself from his hero Emma Harrison , his work Czar, who has just pocketed £8 million this year on the backs of the disabled and jobless. Seems her company has been investigated for fraud for claiming fees for putting peaple into a work contract when they didnt. Have just recently had a half interview in Doncaster on a voluntary basis after reading their glossy brochure on the Journey I would go on with them if I sighned up to a 2 year deal with them. I have since found out they would have recieved £13000 from the tax payer from placing me in a job. Told the young eager interviwer Im down for 2 new knees and a possible op on my lower back and his cheery face turned to a scowl telling me I would be no used to this plan and started blaming the Government. Im 56 so God help the youngens of tomorrow.

You are aware that the acronym A4E stands for "All For Emma"?

I believe they've been fooked off out of Hull (A4E) after a number of high profile cock-ups. Having thousands of peoples personal details stolen being one of them. This Cameron needs to get with the programme! Stop paying millions upon millions to private work providers to manipulate and massage unemployment figures. Start creating some real jobs you pompous silver spooned tosspot!

I didnt mate but my local Job Centre told me there were hundreds of compaints coming in against this company. Even the peaple who are working for them are being bullied into reaching targets from Harrison and her managers. When I told my interviewer my personal details he said Ill make it as easy as I can for you.! Whats all that about! The interview room just reminded me from the progamme Ashes to Ashes from the 70s in the police control room with no privacy to the interview. Itold the Job Centre it was the most degrading place Ive ever been to and she did not disagree with me.

If half the rumours about practices at the company are true all avaiable funds should be clawed back from the principal sharehilder(s). Also people should be locked up.

Fred Goodwin symbolised everything that went wrong in the banking industry and was rightfully stripped of his knighthood earlier this year. Likewise Emma Harrison CBE symbolises everything that is wrong with the way unemployed people are dealt with in this country, and should be stripped of her honour awarded by the Queen too. I feel that if this happens it’ll be the first defeat that will affect Emma Harrison greatly, because it’s clear she is a social climber. The defeats she’s had in the media are brushed off with ease because they don’t affect her finances much, nor her status.

She is nothing like Sir Titus Salt who worked hard to make the working and living conditions for his employees better than ever before. You compare his legacy left behind in Saltaire to the legacy that Emma Harrison is in the process of leaving behind throughout Britain, and all you can do is weep. The majority of office buildings where A4e are based will no doubt be knocked down to make way for new buildings in centuries to come whilst Mr Salt’s mills will probably survive for aeons.

Emma Harrison should also be disqualified from enjoying any of the future success that this country may have in the fight against unemployment. A4e should not be allowed to practise in Britain ever again for the way it has neglected, abused and exploited a very vulnerable group of people. Someone has to take some responsibility for all that has gone wrong with the services for the unemployed in this country, and Emma should be one of them. She does not deserve to live in a mansion whilst her clients at A4e are probably struggling to keep a roof over their heads. Even American billionaire Warren Buffet puts her to shame when it comes to living a modest lifestyle whilst accumulating a fortune.

Activists throughout this country call her a poverty pimp, and rightfully so. She has been paid by the taxpayers to pimp out the unemployed to retail outlets for hours of free labour. This is not improving anyone’s life other than Emma Harrison’s and the retailers who are benefiting from this free labour. If this behaviour isn’t stopped by the time of the next election then I know who I will be voting for. There’s been some good progress under this coalition government though with regards to doing things the right way. Fred Goodwin getting stripped of his knighthood and the Leveson enquiry are fine examples of that. Now we just need some justice for the unemployed and the right way to go about it would be scapegoat those who deserve it the most: Emma Harrison and her company A4e.

Well put Damo, I live in a small town thats dieing on its where the majority of peaple who do work have to travel all over for pleasure of earninf a few quid. Mining, Shipbuilding, Steelworks, Tractor Manufacturing, etc have all gone leaving Care Home jobs etc to take up the slack. It made my blood boil as when RBS gave out there bonuses and local council workers on a now 3 year wage freeze.

Hundreds of thousands of apathetic doughnuts, citizens of our green and pleasant land, need to wake up and give their heads a bang! Stop sponging in the force fed drivel, wake up, and smell the fooking cocoa!...Were not 'in it together.' ...We've never been 'in it together.'... And we never will be 'in it together.' Wakey-wakey tranquilised Britannia!

I see she's stepped down as Dave's "Family Champion". I wonder what input she made to that and how she was deemed to be best qualified to do that job.

I see Emma Harrison stepped down after having ger business probed. I have been probing Mrs D's business for years and she carries on.


.....Mind you she does sit on her a**e half the day.

Woah! Too much information

We are still going through and era of shrinkage with the mail business and we have a programme for people considering leaving the business. This is called "Clear Choices" and these people come in and discuss your options when your office is closing or down sizing.

Today I have been reading a brief on the scheme, its run by A4E ...............

So they seem to get plenty of Government contract work, must have good conections

What they have is a team of people who know exactly how to write a good tender document whenever the bidding comes around for these programmes.

Couldnt agree more mate. Cameron cant believe hes getting away with this destruction of the working class but hes got workers against workers now with everybody trying to hold on to there job. It summed up everything on Look North yesterday showing a bloke getting kicked out of his mannual job because his boss could get 2 Eastern Europeans for the same wage. This was in Boston which is creaking at the seams and only today it was published 250000 MORE came into the Country. Def not all in it together

I was made redundant midway through 2010 and had to join there, I hated it. You had to spend 20 hours a week there for 12 weeks looking online for a job and they barely helped you. It really was the biggest waste of time ever. Felt sorry for the people there who were forced to go as they were all people who had been out of work for years and my 17 year old brother must have had a CV miles better than theirs. They had no hope of getting a job. Remember having to make a bridge out of paper on my 2nd visit there, that was fun......
