After reading some other threads on this, I have to say, I'm genuinely perplexed and genuinely amused!

Y'see, what labour are proposing will bring self esteem to those out of work for longer than 2 years, it will help them better themselves and join back into society. Yet when the coalition bought the same principle in, it was claimed it was slavery and intimidating.

So wheres the difference? Howcome labours "go on the placement we offer or you will lose your benefits" isn't intimidating and slavery when the colaitions "work on the placement we offer or you will lose your benefits" is.

Well, it all appears it's about thw wording. Labour word the placement as a "job". The colaition worded the placement as what it is, a "placement". Either way, both were temporary, but as labour are stating a "job" it's ok, and suddenly offers self esteem and opportunity to the individual.

But some can still be caught out, suggesting the coalition scheme was slavery and this is opportunity. So, what to do then? Well....again, labour can't lose according to some. Labour are more compassionate and haveb't actually pledged this scheme, therefore, they won't actually do it, whereas the coalition would. Therefore, labour trumph again. Bizarely, they triumph merely because they have suggested something even they won't do. So labour win the moral high ground again.

Utterly bizzare. It's all stemmed down to labour suggesting it's a "job". Not a temporary placement. That play on words has won the day and labour win again. The fact they won't even implement it themselves appears to pass their apologists by!

Surely the definition of a job is a position that has been created because there is a need for one, not just giving an oppertunity with no future to it.

As you say a play on words that actually mean nothing.
As you say utter bizzare.

Given that every Labour government in history has always left office leaving unemployment higher than when it started, I wouldn't rely on any future Labour government being able to actually reduce unemployment.
