I find young folk know what's going on they have a grip on climate change and they are more switched on than we think and there political perspective is not muddied by the past. Our future is in there hands maybe they will start a new party and bring politics into the 21st century.
Sounds good to me.
Paul@ You may not have noticed but there aren't any jobs not even for those who have spent years at University I have a relative who has amazing qualifications but is on the minimum wage working in child care part time on zero hours contract a total waste of a great talent.
There's nothing wrong with wealth it's what you do with it I have told the story byefore my father a very wealthy self made man who shared the company's profits with the men who worked for him. He believed that the redistribution of wealth was the correct way to conduct his business
Paul@You never seem to grasp the WORLD recession caused by the WORLD'S Banks 7pounds per hour is a insult to the working man or woman 12 per hour would make a good starting point. But this is how the Tories work they throw a few crumbs to the working class and they are grateful.

From what I understand from watching various programs relating to this subject no government departments have answers to your question Lynne. I find it amazing that nobody knows I wonder if other countries have systems in place or is this problem confined to the EU.
Next lot of bad weather already on its way at least there won't be a hose pipe ban.
Lynne@ just watched the program you just couldn't make it up It was shocking I really don't know what to say I really can't believe what I have just watched, how can a man who steals on a daily basis, is a drug addict, is a illegal immigrant is arrested goes to prison and is then set free it's a joke let's hope the programme makes Cameron grow a pair and get tough with these people.
