    Although, not according to Sir Stuart Rose (ex head of M&S) who started his working life, er, stacking shelves and cleaning floors…

    Sturat Rose was employed by M&S as a management trainee, and spent part of his time on that scheme working on the shop floor.

    Paid, quality training schemes are a good thing. What we have today is the opposite of that.

    I hope that wasn’t aimed at my previous post because it’s the sort of lazy left wing reaction comparable to the same lazy right wing argument that all on benefits are work shy scroungers.

    I had not read the thread but I took a lucky guess at what may have been said

    here’s also another group of people who are going to find it harder and harder to get work because they are just not skilled (and training won’t help). Many of these people will work very hard if they get the chance, we just have fewer and fewer of these basic hard graft jobs left in society and the replacement low skill jobs in retail and the service industries require different skill sets.

    Nail and head they used to get very well paid for their brawn. Unfortunately they have no transferbale skills beyond will work hard at menial tasks.

    Re full employment – no one has tried so just accept taht unemployment is inevitable and there is no solution

    of course society must not stop beating on the poor and calling them lazy,spongers and work shy etc despite our system being designed to not give everyone employment.

    please explain to me how full employment would work with the free movement of labour in the EU

    excellent we seem to agree then that it is inevitable that we will have some unemployed. So how do you suggest we treat the unemployed when it is inevitable?

    I would have loved the opportunity to get £58 per week, plus expenses, to build my CV and increase my employability.

    e-mail in profile I can have this sorted for you by the end of the day..go on set yourself free 😉
