There are apparently 8m economically inactive people in the UK between the ages of 16 and 64. They're going to be doing these jobs in the future according to the Home Secretary. There are two of us in this household that meet those criteria. I can assure the vacuous Ms Patel that neither of us intend doing a job now or ever again. I know dozens of people at the upper ends of that age range who have retired, are planning on staying retired and will not be forming an orderly queue to work at Stansted Airport or in Pret a Manger and are economically inactive, by government definition, through choice. Seems to me that this hasn't been thought through properly : quelle fucking surprise.
It's also interesting that after banging on endlessly about how unemployment is at an historical low,there are suddenly millions of people ready to leap into the workforce. Dissembling shower of fucktards
So will we have the pensioners, the disabled, the students, stay at home mums and carers forced into the fields to harvest the cabbages and fruit?
I’m sure the Tories can think of ways of incentivising this.
