Thats quite right. The deniers do not realise how serious the employment situation for those particularly at the 'bottom' is. They keep buying this clap trap that positive thinking, getting on your bike etc guarantees success. Most jobseekers are doing all this already. Its a smokescreen and divisive tactic to hide the reality.

Note that unemployment in Spain (and elsewhere in Europe) with a left leaning Government, is now more than double our own, another indication the old utopian Tax and spend economics adored by the Unions, now has little relevance.

We have this endless argument in Discussion Time where some old lefties are still screaming we get get sustainable well founded growth by spending more.

an argument you twist to meet your own warped logic conrad,what you dont do is cut cut and cut again during a recesssion,and the recession is almost here,osborne admitted as much today when he agreed that Q4 would be in negative territory for gdp,a recession that the tories have created,nobody else,not the previous govt not the euro crisis but this govt
and now we may have to find another £15 billion for the IMF,i feel another 3% on vat coming soon

Of course there was me forgetting there was no youth unemployment under the last Labour government.....yeh right!

Stop talking drivel and point you guns at the cretins who ruined the British economy (i.e. the Labour party) if we ever manage to get out of the deep mess they left us in we will be luck, and they are the ones responsible for todays youth unemployment figures so give it a rest.

"I'm living in EXACTLY the same space as you ...... just I am surrounded by evidence of people getting up, dusting themselves down, getting on with life!!

You are clearly surrounded by those who moan, groan, and sit on their rear ends claiming that life owes them a living!

I've got news for you - comfortable living allowances are getting cut, those who are not educated are going to suffer .... chavs are going to have to take those lowlife jobs which the Poles are currently very happy to do!!

And so it should be ................"

Above is a quote by MrRee

Whilst I generally enjoy the banter on these threads this post does seem rather harsh and narrow minded. Just an opinion.

So whats your alternative, do what Labour do and borrow even more money, we tried that for thirteen years and look where it got us-IT DONT WORK! Even the moronic Miliband accepts the cuts now, its time to face reality you cant spend money you have not got!!!!

I'm afraid I'm with Mr Ree on this. We too are struggling to find people good enough to join the company. In my area alone we have five vacancies in London, three here in HK, and the talent pool we are seeing is absolutely shocking. Barely literate idiots, yet with a huge sense of entitlement.

Of course, we're not offering the tiddly salaries being offered by Mr Ree's outfit. We pay proper wages.

Because for someone to wish for and pick up a dream house on the cheap it involves them throwning a hard-working family and their children to the wolves on the street. Pretty obvious to all right-minded posters on here.

What a stupid generalisation!!

I can think of many different types of people who own property, hard working working families are just but one, you probably fall in to the other group of speculative money grabbing spiv type, and going on what you are posting on this board the chances of you caring about other people are close to zero.

But putting the "hard working family" argument aside, what kind of world are we living in where young people wanting to work are written off and where their aspirations of owning a house in YOUR WORLD are where prices of houses are unafforadable or even rising, and where people losing jobs and ones that are being left behind are seeing their chances of owning a home grow even more distant. So do'nt give me any of your disingenuous claptrap about being worried about people being thrown into the street, yes there will be casualitys, but there are on both sides of the property debate anyway.
