It’s astounding how people fall for the same lines over and over and over.

I suspect the idea is what we have here in Germany. We call them “1€ jobs”.

Basically, you get 1,50€ per hour, for 4 to five hours per WORK day (also five days per week), to help in old fogie homes, or pick litter, or as my wife has done, go around measuring doorways of local shops/pubs/etc, to see if a wheel chair can fit through.

THAT is a story in it’s self. My Wife did JUST that. Then, because she is prety snazzi with excel, she set up the data bank. The idea being, they would make a “guide” for disabled accsess shops, etc.

Thing is, two years later, she was offered this “job” again. Only to find that ALL her data was still there, but had never been used, and in between another THREE “groups” had collected the same data!

THAT is what they mean by “creating jobs”, and YOU me, and the bloody postman and milkman are paying for it.

For make no mistake, the money comes from the E.U. And as far as money goes, the ONLY place THEY get money from is US.

The beuty of the whole thing is; “If you are on one of these schemes, you are NOT registered as ‘unemployed’”.

Work that one out France.

All paid for by the taxpayer.

Oh, this is not a new piece of stupidity but rather just the latest re-incarnation of an old one. Lionel Jospin was responsible for something similar across the Channel back in 1997. One might even argue that Gordon Brown’s massive expansion of the number of people employed by the UK State was just a less obvious example.

We had a thing called “Future Jobs Fund” in the UK where youngsters were hired for six months on minimum wage by voluntary organisations, charities and other “socially valuable” organisations. All paid for by the government. It was very good business for those of involved in managing the programme! It was the first programme scrapped by IDS in 2010.

I wonder where M. Hollande got the idea from!
