The government's plans to let people work in the likes of Tesco and McDonalds, whilst the government paid their benefits, but the employer paid nothing was not unfair. Many countries ask people to do community work in return for benefits. The mistake was perhaps the threat to take benefits away if the recipient did not stay the 4 week course (FOUR WEEK). Since one the of the lessons was the discipline of work, even that was not too bad. Many participants actually got work after the exercise.
Now the policy is dead, Government lose, unemployed lose, unbalanced reporting win.
It follows the increase in University fees which survives, but the student gets a loan and does not pay it back if their choice of course does not give added value in their life or for whatever reason they do not get employment.
The policy survives, Government and University win and non-appliers lose.
