It's a myth. Yes, I'm afraid you've been lied to. / Lord Freud says he doesn't know why starving people in this country need to use food banks. He probably thinks food grows on trees. (Well, there are apples, I suppose.) / The use of zero-hours contracts by employers is increasing, massively. Businesses think these contracts are a good thing, but it's just ... slow suicide, man. It will catch up with them. / There are millions of people unemployed, in the open where you can count them - and hidden. / People get sanctioned for missing Jobcentre appointments by a couple of minutes. (Any excuse to make another human being totally desperate. Only following orders ...) / About a third of the jobs on the Universal Jobmatch website are fake jobs. They don't exist, son.
