the return of the workhouse?

by blacksheep63 @ Monday, Jul. 21, 2008 - 19:32:18

our government (and the tories) are planning to make all those on the dole over a year to do community service. so what are we saying? petty criminals and long term unemployed are the same? why not bring back houses of correction to force petty crims to break rocks and pick oakem, and the workhouse so all those millions of benefit scroungers can be housed in convenient bastilles separated from their families if they DARE to ask for more handouts

what with footballers living in slavery are we caught up in some bizarre Dr who episode set in victorian cardiff?

You seem to think that we are not being governed by the Tories, a common error. Blair was recruited by the Tories, and it looks as if the One-Eyed Snake was as well...
