I can understand why you would believe the line that's fed as whole country, media, business orgs are getting truly desperate for Osbornes plan to start working but unfortunately much of that 'employment' is fake . Benefit Slave jobs arent real because theyre unpaid (except by us the taxpayers, not employers. That renders them sterile and unproductive as the jobseekers doing them are 'economically inactive.')

The London rising unemployment figs are truly awful.

Appears to be heading in the right direction. So the jury's out as far as I am concerned.

1. let he who is without sin cast the first stone and all that, i personally can waste time with the best of them and do lots of things that are 'sad' in their own way, but IMO there's something scarily wrong about a man (supposedly a police officer) posting, ONE day before Christmas at half past one in the morning, a Jesus facepalm on a forum.

That's 4,500,000 haircuts every 6 weeks; 36,000,000 pairs of shoes sold a year; another few hundred thousand cars to be built sold and then serviced; a couple of million houses built. The extra employment opportunities will be almost endless!

Well, that's just great (said in the same voice as the drink drive advert man).

I mean, we could deposit the whole 7 billion population (of the world) in England, and think of all the economic opportunities that it could provide us with. The fact that the island would sink into the sea, is neither here nor there.

...or we could attract a mere dozen additional Abramovich types to these shores.

That's several hundred $1000 haircuts at Chez Vidal Junior; a few more $400m yachts custom fitted out in Southampton; a couple of dozen designer pads in Chelsea worth $50m a pop.

The extra sales opportunities are almost endless!

Quality, not volume is my mantra.

So called benefit slave jobs at least get those individuals off their a***s to do something vaguely productive in an at least quasi working environment. One of the big problems in this country is that we don't just have too many unemployed, but we have too many unemployable. That's one way of trying to address that. The other is doing something about the lamentable state education system. The world does not owe the UK a living, if we don't get real we will sink down the economic league table like a stone, to almost everyone's detriment.

It's great that you're starting to see the economic advantages of immigration. However if you think that the population of the world standing in England would sink it into the sea then you need to do a little work on your physics/geology.

Surely your argument relies on the immigrants having some sort of capital (skills or cash). A lifetime minimum wage worker will be a burden rather than an asset to the country.
