http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/475098/One-in-five-British-people-fail-trial-periods-at-work-due-to-poor-performance Hardly surprising with the way the recruitment agencies and job websites treat the candidates!

We can see that every day we live here!! If that is the case, and pretty much everyone I know in this borough is crying out for work, or has work but is working much longer hours for less pay, or reduced hours on minimum wage - what is the point of being in the EU if you are just advisor's on employment to member governments? From where I sit here in Bedfordshire, UK the job growth rate is abysmal. It is is either part-time or minimum wage. What has the EU employment package done to create full time permanent work? Nothing from what I can see here!! The government we have obviously is not implementing the employment package correctly or is not doing it at all? Which is it? And what happens when this occurs? Do they get fined or do their people live in poverty forever whilst they work out how to implement your directives? Are you monitoring what individual countries are doing? In Britain we have not created jobs despite what our government states, I can assure you!

2014 - worst year yet for unemployment in UK!

The worst year yet for unemployment. Every time i apply for a job i am behind 134 other people for the role as a minimum. Local jobcentreplus has closed down, now at Luton - even if i went all they would do would be to sanction me. http://www.dunstabletoday.co.uk/news/local-news/closure-of-job-centre-will-not-mean-job-losses-1-3850129 They have closed down 631 jobcentreplus sites now in the worst depression ever! http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmselect/cmpubacc/1034/6032910.htm Last time i went they double booked me for a training course at seetec and a careers advice session at houghton regis for the same day! Talking to jobcentreplus is like talking to a brick wall, your supposed to magic up a job when the coalition just doesn't seem to be able to create any! Despite the fact that they say they are! http://alittleecon.wordpress.com/2014/04/03/michael-meachers-speech-on-benefit-sanctions/ Is Iain Duncan Smith the most despised man in britain, he is in this household. https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=867FAB2C68E9AD9D!192&app=PowerPoint The BBC do not report any of the issues! And don't seem bothered that they aren't! https://ssl.bbc.co.uk/complaints/forms/?reset=#anchor Even the tuc is saying there are up to 6 million unemployed! https://fullfact.org/blog/true_unemployment_measure_TUC-3314 Meanwhile we have thousands of migrant workers coming in for IT jobs, meaning that the residents get beaten to the roles: http://www.computerweekly.com/news/2240206159/Labour-would-force-offshore-suppliers-to-create-thousands-of-apprentice-schemes The Labour Party's answer is to put us residents on a apprenticeship and let them keep coming in! Meanwhile the EU is showing all of Britain jobs to the whole of the EU via their own website: http://www.government-world.com/eures-site-means-uk-jobseekers-face-competition-from-500-million-europeans/ Is it not true that the resident british white people are being ethnically cleansed by the three main political parties in the UK? Labour, Conservatives and Liberals all want us to stay in the EU! http://libertygb.org.uk/v1/index.php/news-libertygb/5648-ethnically-cleansing-the-english-02 I reckon jobcentreplus is so broke it is now beyond repair under Iain Duncan Smith: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24829866 I hope you find the above useful.
