The Official Nonsense Thread

[Minty]

How can you go to Spain & not get a tan? Bottle of Ardbeg, lovely! Although surely this is cider & Pims weather?

It's now come out that UK firms are being given £1000 for every non-British EU worker they hire (up to 20), & the workers in question £1100 for "resettlement costs". WTF? So in other words it's more worth a UK employer's while to get someone from Eastern Europe that they can get away with paying less for in the first place, AND they'll get a £1000 bonus for doing so on top!

If you want to know the effect of this scheme, 800,000 UK jobs have been advertised through the scheme so far, in comparison to under 50 000 French jobs & 12 000 Italian.

Why the hell am I even bothering to try? I do @20-30 job apps a week, in some cases the same firms who are re-advertising over & over again, but can't even get a reply. No wonder if this is what has been going on for God knows how long. This country has completely lost it, it truly has.
