Don't get me wrong I am all for the "can't work won't work brigade" being dealt with but why in the middle of a recession do both parties decide they will try and tackle this issue? To me neither party knows which way to move to improve things so they try to deflect attention away from what is a serious issue. And why do they always come North to try and get the point across? Most of our major manufacturing jobs are long gone. Is unemployment not rife down South? It just riles me when they come North to try and make theirselves look as if they are trying to tackle an issue. Surely the "can't work won't work brigade" live all over the country but once again the Norths problems are high-lighted!!!! |
A vast amount of people in the north are on one benefit or another so would Manchester not be as good a place to come than any.
Better talking about getting people back to work which is probably the most important single factor especially for citizens in any prosperous country than talking about European regional grant aid etc . Maggie bless her but she let many of the great industries go to the wall probably never to return to this nation again.Hopefully todays leaders in Britain are taking a leaf out of other western industrial nations books who realise that some of these major industries with the jobs that they create need help at times.Better to pump a few million into some struggling company`s with future prospects than let it go to the wall and pay long term unemployment benefits with all its knock on effects.
