    So, people who work minimum wage are up for potential sanctioning!! I assume that as they are in work, they are expected to pay for the additional training.

    Ids is also to have mentioned in one of his irrational interviews that working tax credits are only spent on booze and drugs, and should be looked at more closely.

    You have to laugh at the moron. he just hasnt got a clue.

    No, but unhappily, no matter what a mess he makes, and is making, Cameron is frightened to sack him.

    Well hey, its not like low paid workers do anything important, is it? I'm sure if they all left their jobs for better paid ones and the ones at the bottom didn't get done, everything would be absolutely fine!

    I'm fuming that there's no comment section on that Guardian article! :rotfl:
