I noticed the bit about offshore wind farms in answer to the manufacturing question.

Siemens isn't a British company

Possibly (a quick serch of Newcastle 15+ miles on Direct Gov website gives approx 70 "low" paid jobs - 100 jobs in total, so I doubt) but very few of them share the information with the DWP. They would ahve to bring in a requirement of employer feedback, which will just put employers off using the jobcentre imo.
 
Would those be the Special Schools the Tories regularly close at the local level?

What an unbelievable statement.
 
"Every child should have the choice for special schools" - its their lazy parents who can't pay for their choice...

You have to list a certian number of jobs you have applied for per week. Thats enough information for them to follow up on.

At which point you state "asked foreman of x for a job" etc etc. Also with the proposed cuts on the civil service the amount of resource required would be unworkable.
 
Shame is, Clegg would probably be a good leader of the labour party....

...his own party however....

In my experience, about 90% of the jobs on the Jobcentre computers are actually run through agencies....that is one area that really needs reform. An £8 p/a has £2 p/a lopped off simply for the priviledge of working for a third party parasite....creating a massive pool of low paid jobs...much lower than they really are....

No one appears to have worked out any other way to get a flexible workforce.

Very true, hate agencies with a passion. They seem to have the job market wrapped up.
 
Closing remarks

Cam "I love this country. I've got a great team behind me (though I keep them well hidden). Vote for change!"

Clegg "Vote for change! Change! Change!"

Brown "Don't trust them!"

But did he trip over "cuts" or "*****" ?

She's likely refusing an awful lot of homes because they don't fit what she wants.

Indeed.

Or they are really bad at saving.

I remember someone complaining on the Letters to PM in 2007 about being unable to get a mortgage because they couldn't ever save enough money for a deposit despite earning a claimed £100k/year "so there would be no difficulty in paying the mortgage".

I think that was probably a good call on the part of the mortgage lenders.
