people won't do manual labour until the wages reward the workload   ...esp with people seeing others getting 40k a year plus to do a load of non jobs

maybe the govt should have made it a condition of furlowing that they should be eligible to do a total of 5 days fruit picking

yes mac ...it's in their interests  esp after the crash   ...  trouble is here that those who can , won't give up their benefits  ,housing and taxes paid for  and not to mention interrupting their normal  'activities'

openly encouraged mac as long as  some jobs are forever looked down on and paid so poorly  ...it's a horrible system in that respect

there are few unemployed that would give up £265 in weekly benefits that my near neighbour receives, and i do not blame him at all. his rent is paid by the state, and round here, that is everything. he is on ebay a lot, dunno what for but his disposable income seems plentiful. ie he drinks a lot

nobody will convince me that paying people to do nothing is a good idea, but any mp who even questions welfare is toast. nobody has the cobblers to say it. frank field was given a remit to 'say the unsayable' when minister for social security, and when he did... they sacked him.

maybe we need a 30 hour week and cheaper housing   ...get back to basics  ,ramp things up a bit ,some blue sky thinking and all that

its not an easy option. compared to benefits paid out and loss of taxes its a disaster for govt. never mind the social consequences.

i will never knowingly buy anything from china or india, and a few other places. workers are expendable, and employee rights are non-existent. and environmental destruction is not a consideration. china is an ecological catastrophe, and any who complain are visited by the secret police.

a big downside of globalisation is the ability to of corporations to outsource operations to wherever is cheapest, which in reality means who is desperate and doesnt give a sh1t about their own people. you cant blame the companies, theyd go bust otherwise and because of the fear of reputational damage these corporations pay better and supply workers rights that are unconsidered in the countries they move to. hence, every job is massively over-subscribed, no matter how menial. any job for a western firm is better than working for a local one that doesnt care if you live or die. witness the appalling factory fires in bangladesh; truly horrible.

as ive been boring about for years, countries that have a shocking human rights record, like china, which uses slave labour shouldnt be allowed to trade, and the wto should be restricted to civilised nations. a ridiculous and improbable idea, but this virus wouldnt be here if china hadnt been admitted only 19 years ago. dont forget, it scorned trade for 50 years until it became scared about the way things were going, and didnt want to go the same way as the ussr

Is it easy to go on and off the dole for seasonal work?

Of course some people on here that claim to be socialists know this to be the case yet they still smear the unemployed in order to score points over Brexit even though the battle was long since lost. Bitter and twisted

i will never knowingly buy anything from china or india

i think for a lot of folk there seems to be no other option ...find anything made in Europe these days and it comes with a hefty price tag ...add to the fact that you can't repair  much  these days so it's a ready ongoing market for cheap made crap   ...

  it's easy to mislead as well by  labelling items displaying a UK flag with a  ...  Packaged  in UK etc label  ....or made in PRC

PRC could be anyway in most peoples books

serves you right for buying garlic.

well he,s a thought if it alright for furloughed workers getting taxpayers money ie benefits and apply/go for fruitpicking jobs,why don't the government say its ok for those on benefit,s /job seeker sto go fruiot picking and keep their benefits
if the brexiteer government want uk workers to do these jobs ,their going to have to impose them on the employers, we all no, including government that the employers want to employ eastern Europeans and will make it as hard as possible for uk workers to get the jobs so obviously the government will have to make it as easy as possible for people to do them, ie keep your benefits

Absolutely. We need the fruit and veg, that seems a very sensible suggestion. What options do we have?

Still an illiterate idiot

youisavinalff. you might think the benefits system was designed to keep people from working. explain how paying an able-bodied male 265 a week is going to make him get a job

Does that include housing benefit and council tax?

wetherspoons open in june may halt the brave and noble 112

BBC News just reported on this c 18:20 - "Land Army" of ski-instructors taking readily to cutting asparagus.

As a piece of Orwellian propaganda, well worth watching on iplayer.

BBC clearly on a "war footing." Ie whatever Govt want them to say.
