Thousands of the young unemployed are to be barred from receiving benefits unless they agree to do three months of unpaid work to prepare them for the jobs market.
A pilot scheme launched yesterday will apply to new benefit claimants aged 18-24 unless they can show they have already had a significant job.
They will be expected to spend 30 hours a week on ‘community benefit’ work experience in places such as charity shops and care homes or delivering meals on wheels.

It’s about time someone found Grayling and his mates a real job, instead of sitting on their a**es and coming up with another stupid, flawed scheme to get people to work for a pittance. Workers have fought for decades to get decent wages and conditions but the Tories are hell-bent on getting everyone back into the Workhouse. Well, Mr. Grayling, how about earning some of your super-inflated salary and start creating some real jobs, with decent wages to go with them, instead of trying to get everyone working in the local charity shop for f**k all!
Nice, work for less than minimum wage (which is illegal!) or we’ll fuck you some more!
