Won’t it be great too when the DWP are forced to reveal the identiites of all the other participating companies so social media fire and brimstone can rain down upon them also :-)
Re: Workfare. I went into my local AgeUK charity shop today, bought a book for £1 and then asked the manager whether they have any unemployed people forced to work there without pay.
They seemed unaware of the allegations in the Press on this issue, but assured me that they have one employee (the manager), and many volunteers (some of whom have full-time jobs, but come in at weekends.)
It seems true that these charity shops are not controlled by any head office. There is a local group of shops in East Sussex, which is separate from the Brighton and Hove one(s?). I suppose somebody needs to go into every shop in the country and ask!
now take on Tesco and Unilever rather than tiny nothing opponent
Brilliant news thanks to all those involved, I saw Osborne at the firm with a grin on his face let’s hope it’s now been wiped off.
