Steve Shaw BS: Obama's 'To the back of the queue'. (21) RE: BS: Obama's 'To the back of the queue'. 27 Apr 16


People on zero hours contracts, up almost fivefold since 2010 to over 800,000. UK growth spluttering again. Read today's news. This in spite of "millions more in work than ever before." Know why? Because the unemployment figures are a fraud. Those 800,000 don't count, even if they're not working, which is often. Apprenticeships are proliferating, basically a way of getting workers on half the minimum wage and offering them no prospects beyond sweeping the floor and making the tea. Millions forced into "self-employment," a way of keeping workers off the unemployment stats and making them pay their own stamps and pension contributions. None so blind, Teribus. Hooray for free enterprise, flexible labour and Tory Britain, eh?
