What do you think the solution is for the growing number of people who aren't in work?

    I do think that helping people get into the best job for them is a good goal, so here's hoping the investment in job centres helps.

    On the other hand, boy do I wish we could talk about redistribution and shifting the tax burden away from income and towards assets. But so much as hint at these policies and you're tarred as a filthy communist.

    The rich ghoul fuck who wears gifted suits telling the cold, the hungry and the poor over and over to get back to work while their world crumbles. What a classic case of fucking around

    A universal Government job guarantee, 40hrs a week, you can choose less hours if you want and you get paid minimum wage if you do atleast 30. Government can put the people to work directly or into training/apprenticeship. Have it be a legal right, see article 40 Soviet constitution.

    Pop the housing bubble, landlords have too much power; build more social housing etc. Don't cut pensions and increase spending on NHS drastically to compensate for decades of austerity.

    Of course, none of that is going to happen because U.K. because its political system is at a dead-end.
