Get an unpaid job, you scrounger!

[David Johnson]

Apparently Close Protection UK, a security company with contracts to provide security for the Thames Pageant, dumped a coach load of their "operatives" from the Bristol, Plymouth area at 3am near London Bridge and told them to sleep on the concrete under London Bridge. Then at about 5.30am they were then told to change into their high visibility gear, polo shirts, combat trousers etc etc in public before doing a 14 hour shift.

And the payment for this apparently unpleasant job? Well the unemployed amongst them who were on a work programmes got nothing. There were apparently a large number of "apprentices" who got ?2.80 an hour.

Speaking on the BBC Radio 4's Today programme, managing director of the company, Close Protection, Molly Prince said it was a "logistics error" and the situation had been "exaggerated". However she confirmed there was an employee of the firm on the coach and said she did not "agree with his decision to allow the deployment of these people into the bridge area".

Quick translation of the last sentence for those who are not fluent in corporatese. "I'm pissed we have got into the news with a load of bad publicity because one of our dickheads told these losers to sleep under a bridge, when he must have known this didnt look good".

Victorian values. Can't wait til they come back in their entirety, can you?

I'll know they have arrived when Richard Branson starts up Virgin Workhouses, a chain of funky, modern, go-getting, transformational centres for getting people into the world of work.

Just like you, Lord "Man of the people !laugh!" Prescott was foaming at the mouth with rage and indignation on the News Channel this morning. Once he was sedated, it transpired that an "Employee had mistakenly sent the coach away", furthermore the volunteers had been offered jobs at ?8.50 (Ish) an hour at the Olympics and this was a "trial run".

Go on David tell us, "This is no better than the Nazis using forced labour to build concentration camps!"

The hipocracy of New Labour fanatics is truly breathtaking. New Labour the party that encouraged millions of workers to come over from Eastern Europe, why? Well firstly to drive down the cost of labour and secondly to ensure that all the Champagne Socialists living in ?2m + pads in Islington could always get a cheap Polish plumber or builder!

New Labour- traitors to the British working man!

Prescott has worked for a living,can you call fucking young girls working for a living? I bet hes worked a damned sight harder than you.

I believe these people get benefits and were on a training course to learn the ropes of crowd policing. They got a free pair of boots, a donkey jacket and a free nights accomodation in a tent.

I would not say the queen does fuck all, she is an extremely hard working Royal having to sit through a lot of shit I would not want to for love nor money.

Living in luxury, yes she does can't and wont argue against that.
