WORK FOR FREE IN TORY BRITAIN
Cameron slammed over plan to force jobless to work for nothing
PRIME MINISTER David Cameron set out “forced labour” plans yesterday that would see thousands of young people made to work for nothing just to get jobseeker’s allowance.
The Tory leader said his goal was to “abolish long-term unemployment.”
But critics warned that the plans would simply shift thousands of jobless 18 to 21-year-olds into unpaid work rather than deal with the roots of the problem.
