Hardly getting over it.
Be interesting finding out how that one came down the line.
I do so hope that some Tory minister had a word with another Tory minister, and this "wheeze" was a result of some kind of "old fuckwits' network". "I know, Edgar, why don't we get some of those beggar people, those jobseekers that your department has, to steward the event?". "Wizard wheeze, Montague!".

Pretty sure they'll come back to it. They touted it as a featurette.

Just to indicate how far liberal institutions have sunk, it appears that Prince who appears to be another workfare princess like Emma, company operates out of Salford University Business Centre...
I expect they will be getting some calls on wednesday..

That's got an outright lie in it
No mention of the people quoted as saying they were expecting to be paid but had been told when they turned up for the bus that they wouldn't be after all, but if they didn't take the job then they would not be considered for paid work for the Olympics

To control them.
People bussed in need to be bussed back out. A handy further 'threat' if you dared consider telling them to fuck off midway through trying to put a tent up on concrete.

And there was me getting all excited, but from http://thethirdestate.net/ her Twitter account appears to have been closed. I wonder why? Anyone know what her new one is?

Considering many 'charities' these days exist by competing for contracts for contracted out ex-public services, it is no surprise that they have bought into that agenda wholesale. Pay and conditions for charity workers are hardly luxurious, unless you are at the top, of course.

We have a winner. It's all very well telling these 'employers' to go fuck themselves but what's a train ticket from London to Bristol cost? £30 at least I'd have thought. That's not the kind of cash the average doley has available.
That and they'd most likely been told that if they fucked off this placement they'd have their benefits cut off. Despite the government's apparent U-turn on workfare there was only a minor change to the rules of one out of half a dozen upaid labour schemes currently running. No matter what the regulations say, private welfare providers have long since been empowered to get someone's benefits cut off for any reason they can pull out of their arse. Why else would people put themselves through this sort of shit? Workfare is carrot-and-stick but with no carrot. Do they expect us to believe they got rid of the stick as well?

John Prescott is calling for an inquiry...looks like this story isn't going away.

All aboard the 303 bus.
For festival stewards very rarely does the value of a ticket equal the hours they work at minimum wage, it's near £2.50-£3 an hour
It's hardly difficult work though.
This on the other hand is fucking disgraceful

wonder if there will be any comment from the labour front bench?
it's about bloody time, bearing in mind the job security that most "hard working families" have now, and how much they will have if the "fire at will" gets implemented by cameron and his collection of cunts, that the labour party stopped trying to portray anyone who's out of work as being "them" not "us"...

No. If you worded it subtly you could get quite a revealing exchange going, though.

I'd guess that Tomorrow's People are a teir 2 provider and there'll be one of the privatised job centre companies in between them. Not many charities could meet the Work Programme's requirements for a tier 1 provider.
