The Conservative Party/Government

Yes but where is the help to get people back into work if they feel up to it?

You can't just say right off to work you go lad/lass after years of inactivity?

In the 80's there was a great scheme where people were trained for real jobs like brickies , carpenters, hairdressers etc or remploy schemes for disabled. Real funded training opportunities and ways for some sick, ex prisoners and squaddies etc to get back to work

All these have been abolished.

Another Thatcherite policy, cutting the Industrial Training Boards set up by the Labour government in 1964 to address the skills shortages.

He’s not thought it through properly.

There'll be 400 Tory MPs out of work come next January.

The mental health of MPs should be an indicator - but they can "not go to work" and it not be noticed.

Or the author that wrote the fiction.

Most likely both, mate.

Not denigrating the profession of sales btw. Quite the opposite. My first proper job was as a salesman. And I fucking loved that job. And I was fucking good at it. In many ways, I remain a salesman today. I think it’s a highly skilled profession.

If you’re any good!
