I was a little too young when MP first aired but I have grown up with them and one thing , looking back, is how well "informed" they were at such a relatively young age.

It makes more sense with reflection as you get older.

The Meaning of Life with the hospital administrators only interested in the machine that goes "ping", The Romans, She's a Witch, French taunting and the, I'm your King -well I never voted for you.

I think as you get older you start to realise more and more that there is very little that is new or original in this world!:)

its the young unemployed that will suffer the longest, i felt for them when i heard on the news today how they are increasingly unable to cope - even getting bthe train to a fake 'job' for benefit paid for by the tax payer instead of the employer is unaffordable from today.

For my first job at age 18 I walked to the interview as I didn't have the bus fare - it was 7 miles. They asked me how I'd got there and I said I caught the bus because I was embarrassed about having no money. After the interview I then walked the 7 miles home. There was no Youtube video of my epic struggle - nothing.

With hindsight it turned out to be one of the most productive walks of my life.

From jobsite...

At the end of the day, you might just have to be prepared to take the gamble and fork out for your fare. After all, if you’re offered your dream job, you could be laughing all the way to the bank!

Long term unemployment predicted to rise...Rachel Reeves says Osborne's 'cunning plan' is choking off the recovery that started under Labour and pushing up long term unemployment so that the recession becomes a vicious circle. He desperately needs to come up with something soon to put the UK back in the game - perhaps Carney will help him out!

What complete twaddle.

Rachel Reeves, the MP for Labour who has been a member of the Labour party since she was 16?
So she'll be impartial with no vested interests then.

Recovery that started under labour?

Sorry, I must have missed that. All i thought they did was get the bank of england to print the UK out of recession. There was no actual recovery.

Continued by the present Government and there is still little/no actual recovery.
