Government to criminalise the unemployed

Government to criminalise the unemployed

The government is to unveil plans to treat the unemployed in the same manner as those convicted of criminal offences and sentenced to community service orders and undergoing punishment. That is, force them to pick up litter and clean up graffiti.

Given that this is something that even a Thatcher government would not dared to have suggested should be setting off alarm bells in 10 Downing Street.

Knock, knock. The lights are on, but there is nobody at home...
