Subject: RE: BS: Britons shall be slaves?
Actually, prisoners here in UK have the right NOT to work. They can choose, if they wish, not to do anything at all during their sentence, but of course they still get fed, clothed and heating,hot water, TV, lighting etc and the 'Basic' pocket money. Yet the Benefits claimant was threatened with withdrawal of her payments if she turned down the 'work' at Poundland. I call that discrimination.
