its someone's full time job though .

Not necessarily,many areas of the countryside never see litter pickers

The women of today should march on down to downing street in definence of this stupid govement and its ideas and take off their bras and burn them like the sufferegets who chained their selfs too the railings in the last century.

Sitting around smoking then, unless there'll be paid supervisors?

The government has already grudgingly had to admit that this scheme will cost them more money to implement then it will save them in benefits costs. So what is it for then? Just another cynical ploy to demonize the unemployed and make a scapegoat for the financial mis-management of the fat cat banking system.

In my opinion they should concentrate on creating jobs for the unemployed people to take and help the unemployed by training them to be qualified to fill these roles.

Absolutely no way they should be doing that obi.the bloated public sector was one of the reasons this country got into a mess

It would help if there Was more investment ere in the uk instead of contracts being send abroad we used too be known for our british engineering we used too make cars boats bikes trains wedgewood and cabburrys we used too ave a coal and steal industry if theirs no places too work ow and where will thex go unless they send them to work abroad as free labour for forgien companys.

Helping the elderly is one idea I'm not keen on,would need to know more details

the idea touted just now digits ,is that they should help prepare meals for the elderly ....that's frightening enough .hygiene certificates not been mentioned .delivering them to vulnerable people .it cannot work .....

yea...crossed my mind too that some undesirables ,hard up and resentful if being press-ganged might turn to crime.

starting to build the homes needed would be a good start ....its reckoned 200,000 a yr should be being built .meantime as 50. 000 become homeless due to welfare cuts Cameron is pictured with hard hat and hi viz vest launching his Help to buy scheme ....Tory priorities ....

And where is all the land to build that amount of houses

And the car industry is doing well atm jayna

Umbongo land

Well im at the old longbridge factory .and guess what its shut down .most of its demolished and they are building houses but who the hell can afford 250, 000 for a 3 bedroom house

mp's?

Yes it always seems to be somebody elses responsibility !

yeah I can see this costing far more than it ever saves, and being scr*pped within 18 months. they'll be paying extra money to create meaningless tasks while still paying the same benefits out (if not more with travel expense claims). then at the end, still with no actual job to go into, things will be just as they started out..
