You started with ''no more left versus right wing politics'' and ''anyone that wants to discuss facts'', but then put your own political position ( in this case left wing ) whilst using a tax hike that doesnt yet exists as facts, which is just a proposal of a tax increase Its a left wing...

You actually plucked a tax hike that as yet doesn't exist and used it as an example of how this should somehow justify doing nothing to the cost financial and personal of the long term unemployed.

Hold on just one minute, if you are talking about legal tax 'loopholes', you are just offering a figure based on a greater tax take if any government felt the need to change tax legislation. Thats just offering how you or others might wish to change our tax laws and offering a figure on what it...

Why would they be the most vulnerable ? Some might feel a little more vulnerable today than a few months ago, but only if they really do not want to work. If I was a genuine guy looking for work, I would feel hopeful of work and look forward to a programme, that granted seems to make me...

No matter which party you might support, theres no getting away from it Labour are particularly shit at being shit with our public finances.

Are you serious, if the terms of their ''mandatory intervention'' includes having to 'sign on' at the job centre, would it not be beyond the realms of possibility that they access at the time the expertise of those that work within the job centre and to access their associated job finding tools...

You cannot quite see through your political dogma, irrespective where our economy might be you will always be bitter, you have had no modern political party represent your views for over generation. If you cared to put down your 'Socialist Workers' paper for a moment, you might learn that I...

I am not aligned to any party I view them all with skepticism, but the old cliches from the left are discredited and a throw back to the bitter socialism that has since been dropped even by Labour, its all just a little predictable. Offer a view on a minimum wage fine, give your argument to why...

This needn't vilify those on long term unemployment, the role of any government is to firstly ensure qualification and then try and engineer a pathway to employment. Just to withdraw any initiative under the premise it might humiliate isnt the answer, a more challenging environment that...

Why do you think that those in receipt of benefits are unable to deal with the dynamics of reasonable scrutiny. The employed experience this every single day, its a process of work/life that we must all endure, it can be frustrating, difficult and challenging but its inevitable and wholly...

Bet you didnt :)

I have no great love for 'those nasty bankers', but the irony as you casually demonise bankers whilst admonishing those that you see as demonising another set of people, is striking. I just wondered what your annual income threshold is before we can gratuitously demonise another ?

I think many are locked into an unemployed lifestyle that bizarrely cannot be replicated within any prospective employment for them, consecutive governments have evolved a benefit system way beyond what most would feel reasonable. It has sucked in the workshy as well as the vulnerable, so for...

I cannot understand how the usual posters feel so aggrieved when any political party challenges those in receipt of benefits. The aim of any party is to make the unemployed employed and to ensure anyone claiming any benefit has that entitlement. Why some think this vilifying is beyond me...
