Ah! MR Cod'ead speaks. The man who regularly provides links to the Gospel according to The Independent. I thought it was odd he hadn't provided this particular link, so I obliged. Clearly, The Independent, like the Daily Mail et al can be unreliable when the views expressed in it don't accord with one's own. Cod'ead - you ought to get a job in censorship!

Here was me thinking it was because they were frustrated because the left-wing c**ts are not willing and open enough to try new things!

Now why on earth would I provide links to articles written by someone with whom I don't agree?

One of the reasons I read the Indy is exactly because they have columnists and commentators whose views are at odds with mine. It's called keeping an open mind, something the average Dally Wail reader should try some time.

What new things do you suggest they try? Casual racism, perhaps?

Best to start with homophobia and work up to racism.

I work for Debenhams, in a warehouse not a store, and we currently have FIVE of these free-labour lads on our books for eight weeks. I was on benefits for 3 years up until the job centre put me on a work placement at a British Heart Foundation shop in Widnes. During my time there i applied for a job at Debenhams and got it, 6 years later I'm still working full time, earning a wage. It's a positive move if done right. The only thing you can say about my experience though is that the beneficiary of MY forced work was a charity, not a multi-billion pound business....

We had a lad come and work for us for free - he was a friend of my son and had the initiative to ask us to give him work experience. We offered him advice for job interviews and he got a job with a large firm in a department he wanted to work in. Before joining us he had got nowhere.

A Russian lady came and worked for us for free because she was bored sitting at home. She would even turn up unannounced and come and ask to do work. In return we offered gave her leads to work on a self-employed basis for one or two of our clients. She has now taken on other work and is working more of less full-time on a self-employed basis.

It seems to me that people who show initiative and take chances they are offered (like you did) get rewarded.
