Wait wait wait. So he's saying that people can afford to work when they want and be very picky about what jobs they consider? As the growth of the economy under his heroes Cameron and Osborne is such that unemployment is a thing of the past?

He's off his fucking tits.

But aren't unemployed people who want to choose what work they do scroungers and layabouts in the world of the Express? I think Paul's been in the sun too long. Or else he's had a Road to Damascus moment and gone all subversive.

FTFY

I read it as quite subversive actually by admitting that the dip in jobless numbers is merely a temporary blip caused by the Olympics (and no, I don't know how The Open fits into my theory).

The only people I can imagine will be joyfull about these figures are those in government who supported the Workfare scheme, as it has clearly worked in frightening JSA claimants into taking skivvy jobs for large firms who are giving them nothing in return before sending them back to the dole, or into accepting places on pointless courses- resulting in the temporary drop in unemployment figures they desperately wanted. As one is sent back, another is sent out and thus the figures remain even.

His telescope. Yesterday he could see all the Brits through it.

What, no brickwork? How did PT get his fill of pointless repetition this week?
Also, if the Brits have gone home, they have also pulled out, by any stretch of the imagination. This is what happens when you spend your spare time executing primary school teachers.
