""Zero hour or no hour, which would you prefer?"

Irrelevant, the choice is "Zero hour or no work, which would you prefer?" - That is of course as question that would be of some relevance to anyone if they were actually interested in obtaining employment at all. Those that opt for it of course will be streets ahead in any list of applicants for work than someone who said, "Nope, can't be arsed, I'll stay on benefits". You see to obtain experience of work and acquire a work ethic, you must first do some work - any work is better than none.

You, I take it, must be the bald, fat, boorish, nouveau riche Musktwat, who had it not been for Maggie would still a "leci" down the pit.

Intrigued by this one though and it does rather beg the question I'll ask (But I know I don't have a "cat-in-hell's" chance of a reply):

"The thing is, we can offer that as a country." Pray tell, please do.
