Alex Hilton laments to Ed Miliband…
“My problem is that you are not a leader. You are not articulating a vision or a destination, you’re not clearly identifying a course and no-one’s following you. You’re simply coming out with unintelligible guff in response to the latest headlines and seemingly hoping that we’ll think its impenetrability is down to our lack of understanding rather than your lack of COHERENCE
Critics of the workfare scheme seem to assume that people turning up for workfare will be model employees, and that the employer would be getting a free ride because of that.
It is far from obvious to me that the benefit of taking on workfare employees who turn out to be capable would necessarily outweigh the cost of taking on those who turn out to be scum, particularly since the latter are likely to be more common.
