Cameron's made a big deal about the the rate of unemployment going down but the truth is that it's not the case. Forcing people into jobs in which they cannot make a living wage on and classifying the unemployed as employed when they've placed on the work program is not fixing a problem, it's a smokescreen to fool the easily led.

Spot on Dezzy.
Most of them are part time jobs too anyway, it is ridiculous to say someone in part time work is in full employment, it is misleading

You are right too as to zero hours contracts, they are a disgrace unless people want them.
How can it be said anyone is in full time work when they don't know how many hours they will get one week to the next or even if they will get any hours at all.
How anyone can defend unemployment falling when most jobs are as you and I describe in reality is beyond me,talk about signs of some heartlessness in Britain.
