Prime Ministerial Debates- Thread

[Delscottio]

Clegg and Brown believe in work. Thats nice. How stupid are these debates?

Brown: We're forcing the disabled into jobs. Vote for us.

 

[Ashles]

"I just wrote it down"

Uh well done Dave.

 

[Delscottio]

Again Dave, how will the Government know if someone knocks back work? Sounds good but pretty much unworkable.

Evidence?

cameron: "old people will be sold for medical experiments unless you vote for me"

Because they know what jobs you applied for and can trace things from there. The gaming is more likely to involve only applying for jobs there is no way you are going to get.

National service here we come!

Gordon Brown became PM in 1997? News to me. I thought there was someone else....Tony something?

 

[andyandy]

You all agree!

Move on to another question!

Do they? The jobcentre advertises quite a small percentage of jobs out there (and an even smaller percentage give the stats back to the jobcentre). They have no way of knowing what job offers you receive.

nope...doesn't ring any bells...

Brown doing well I think - better than last 2

I bet it's a significant chunk of the low skilled, low paid jobs that the long term unemployed end up getting...

Bring back Big Society discipline like this - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/nottinghamshire/8652243.stm

I think that the only loser is once again Cameron.


I#m sorry Mr Cameron, you what? You respect teachers and think they deserve better? So why do the Tories slash teaching jobs?

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

 

[Small Town Jesus]

The headlines in the Mail/Sun declaring Cameron the winner of the debate were written before it even started.
Probably

 

[Agatha]

Allow people to come in and fund state schools? What, like the Vardy-funded academies teaching creationism? No thank you, Cameron.

 

[andyandy]

An Eton vs Westminster debate about the importance of state school....

I wonder would either of them be stood there without paying for the best educational priviledge money can buy?
