Disabled people are in line for reprogramming so that they accept their disabilities are all in their minds. They are being shoved into the workplace even though unfit. They are being persucuted right under your very nose. 90% of current DLA claims are being refused.

What are you doing about this? Talking is cheap

Not when it’s taken to its logical conclusion. If one company does it then all their competitors have to do it too, then related companies, then it’s everywhere. What does that do? Reduce demand. If everyone’s working for no wages then down go sales and profits along with them. This is not a policy grounded in any economic foundation but instead it’s an expression of utter malevolence, spite. All the politicians involved in this, Grayling, Duncan-Smith, Miller, Dame Black, Lord Freud, are nasty, nasty people. They’re clearly unfit for any form of public office.

Also, it will allow business to lower their wage bill thus ramping up the profit margins nicely. Simply by not taking on paid workers as they have plenty of unpaid available.

What happened to benefits being paid due to the lack of available paid work? Surely what is happening is seriously low paid work financed by the taxpayer not the business itself.

Unemployment benefits are Compensation for the success of the capitalist system IE: its concentration of wealth and replacement of labour with machines

So yes, I’d take Swedish or Finnish labour laws any day! In practice, as with most EU social and employment law, we’re not actually asking for as much as that – the common levels set down by the EU are usually floors that are below what the most competitive economies have got, but even they would be better than what the least competitive countries currently have, let alone what is being proposed for them!

The logic here is perverse. Rather than taking the most competitive economies and forcing everybody else more like that, you want to take the least competitive economies and force everybody else to be like that?

When you go to the Bundestag and ask Germany to be more like Spain, what will the reaction be? (Less rioting and more riotous laughter, I’d suspect)

The political economy of Europe is beyond me, but I suspect this is no more likely to be workable than the ECB/IMF taking over governance of the peripheries.
