Come
April next year there will be a new slave army in town, the Osborne
Workfare Regiment. This will not be a volunteer army, it will a
conscripted force. Thousands of mainly young people, but not
necessarily so, will be conscripted, not to fight on foreign soil to
secure and increase, our corporate masters oil assets, but here at
home to boost the coffers of the corporate greed machine. These
unemployed conscripts will be forced to do six months under the
command of an over paid parasitic CEO. They will be posted to various
organisations under the misnamed, operation, “Community Work
Placements”. What ever it says on the the packet, this is not
volunteering, it is conscription, under
the threat of acute deprivation, destitution and homelessness. Being
forced to work for six months without wages, is nothing short of
forced slavery, no matter where that “placement” happens to land
you. Osborne and his millionaire, Eton educated cabal, should look up
the word “volunteering” in a dictionary. Of course they don't
need to, they know full well the meaning of the word, and they know
full well that what they are doing is forced labour. But it all goes
to helping their millionaire corporate buddies to keep down wages and
has the side effect of lowering the unemployment figures. This in turn
will allow them to spout their usual delusional crap about growth.
Read the full article HERE:“There has been a lot of talk recently about the latest scheme to help people who are unemployed, with mention of “compulsory volunteering” as part of the “Help to Work” programme. DWP do not refer to it as volunteering, but others are starting to, which is muddying the waters. These “Community Work Placements” are NOT volunteering, as people are not freely choosing to participate in them, but rather will be faced with benefits sanctions if they do not engage in the compulsory placements.
