PRISONERS TO FILL BREXIT MANPOWER GAP

[Cannydc]

Offenders could fill the workforce gap left behind by Brexit, the justice secretary has said, as he launched a strategy to boost prisoners’ employment prospects.

Prisoners could work in sectors likely to be hit by the UK leaving the European Union such as catering, construction and agriculture, David Gauke said.

Speaking at HMP Isis, in south-east London, Gauke – who backed the remain campaign in the EU referendum – said migrant workers had been relied on to fill roles but the British public wanted to see that “as many UK citizens are employed as possible”.

A wide range of industries have previously voiced fears of a workforce crisis after Brexit. Gauke said: “Leaving the European Union is likely to have an impact on the workforce in sectors such as catering, construction and agriculture. I see an opportunity here for both prisoners and employers, particularly those operating in these sectors.”


I suspect they might just be nervous at the prospect of employing loads of criminals too.

Assuming the lags would be willing to commit to an honest day's graft.

So, if I'm out of work and desperate for money I can commit crimes and if I get locked up and they'll help me find a job?

Sounds like a win/win to me.

Nah!

Once the prisoner had finished his sentence and had been released, then he/she would be required to claim UC.

His position would then be filled by another prisoner.

You Tories are fucking thick!

Maybe the bag makes it difficult to see sarcasm?

Some are worried that Corbyn might take us back to the 1970's.
The Tories are taking us back to the 1870's.

I'd rather have a government that wasn't trying to do either.

The Tories are succeeding while Corbyn is just being smeared.
There's a huge difference.

Would American want The UK to be the 51st state though?
What makes you think they want a failing country for?
Britain bends over and give the US everything they want or need already. Germany would be a better 51st state
