Greencore dont make me laugh. I was at a4e a few months ago got forsed into a job at green core. dont get me wrong I am glad of a job but if I had known how bad greencore is I would have flat out refused. The staff are extreamly abusiv and managment dont want to know. and let me state I advise anbody not to eat products from greancore as hygiene is a joke along with h+s.

I agree that benifits should pay out less than minimum wage however I was on better money in the dole queue.

as for a4e I will give them credit they got me a job even though i was forsed into it after about 3 days of been there but the place is a joke, you are given activities to go count the steps on a building, some groups get taken to laser quest, just how does going to laser quest find you a job? also the techer if you want to call them that couldnt be ar$ed and repetedly told people to go away for a few hours and have a few joints. how is telling people to go do drugs helpful.

one of the main reasons for places like A4E as i can see it is to get people of the unemployment figures. as when you are at A4E even though you are still collecting your dole you arnt classed as unemployed.

Think you'll find he's a bit of an eco-warrior these days.

But seriously, what did he do for you when he actually NEEDED your votes at the next election. His constituancy is still one of the worst places to live in the developed world.

He is not my MP I have his female namesake with the bad hairdo and specs



As my trade union leader he always commanded my respect and had a deep knowledge of the business which he used with great effect for the benefit of the membership.

He then seems to have lost the plot a bit like the large ( very large ) ex trade union leader from the East

I had mixed feelings watching this programme, one one hand these 'can't guarantee you hours' temporary jobs are crappy and aren't a career for anybody

but on the other hand there were several in there who just looked like complete wasters. There's only so much the government/society can do for people, and some of them blatantly didn't care what they were doing with their lives.

many people don't like the concept of making people 'work' for their benefits...but I disagree, there were several on the programme who I feel would like the opportunity to do something better than make paper planes for their benefits, and getting them into a regular work routine and out meeting people would help some of them.

It was also sad to see 'the immigrants' used as an excuse yet again...some of them simply can't handle the fact that some of the immigrants (despite having poorer english) are still more attractive to employers, because they're so determined they've actually moved countries to work and earn money. Rather than some of these who'd turn down a job if it was in their own back garden.
