All that stuff about British Steel, manufacturing in general and how it was unproductive. How does that equate with the oft-heard cry "Why don't we make things anymore?"

Idiots have no problem with two contradictory cries des couers. It doesn't count as doublethink or cognitive dissonance to hold that mass manufacturing a: was shit and b: is a great loss to the country if you do so on different days, or in response to different stimuli.

At least, it doesn't if you're a cunt.

Which leads me to the thought of one of those idiotic 'wacky' signs you get in shops, this one on a wall in the Mail newsroom. "You don't have to be a cunt to work here but it helps."

Back to blaming the unemployed for being unemployed. If retailers are being offered a ready supply of free labour where is the incentive to take on full time staff?

In the Summer Toys R Us set up a store in my local town. A couple of months before opening they ran a three week course in the local college covering all aspects of working in the retail sector, anyone who completed the course was guaranteed a interview for a job in the new store.
This approach seems to be a lot better than the current approach being taken by government because it provides participants with training that would enable them to apply to work in a variety of stores rather than just giving fairly basic training to work in a specific shop.

It never is. Hundreds of words about layabouts, scroungers, idle, workshy, then a mealy-mouthed sentence of sympathy makes everything fine.

I've just read something on Conservative Home about how a tax change was going to incentivise people to get off benefit and work.

Maybe it would. Not going to reduce the numbers applying for each job though.

Daddy got you a job even though you were clearly unsuited to it? Where have I heard that before?

As with the piece by IDS, he's getting a kicking in the comments.

If you're a (mostly) Tory Government, and your policy is receiving almost universal condemnation by Mail readers, wouldn't you think "Hmmmm, not so sure about this one actually"?

No.

Really? When it's the mouthpiece of your core support?

Yes, but the Tories know they wont turn. Stick a blue rosette on a pig and they'd have it. Sure, they'll talk about voting UKIP, but they'll never really do it in any numbers. The sheperds know their sheep.

The rich aren't all merchant bankers

No some of them are talentless w*nkers who earn a handsome living writing bollocks for a shit rag like the Mail.
