How long will the UK's employed be useful, against the backlog of the credit crunch?
If you are located in the UK and have ever been unemployed, you may not know that Income Support (Job Seeker's Allowance) and Incapacity Benefit are about to be stopped. On October 27 2008 they will be replaced with a new benefit called Employment and Support Allowance (ESA). Claimants will be divided into three groups: an Assessment Group; a Work Related Activity Group and a Support Group. Take the test to see if you would qualify.
I do not think that Brown has thought enough about how his test will affect homeless people, and others who simply can't work.
Brown has been committed to ensuring that more people work % in the UK than any other country....and boasts of having more people in work.
Unfortunately he was totally unprepared for a rainy day, and the credit crunch has affected the globe, and redundancies are far and fast occurring in the UK. That together with the price of petrol, the rising cost of gas and other utilities, presents a poor picture for employed people in the UK.
Just how long can the UK hang onto equality and training people in their fifties, when the younger generation is unemployed? We have yet to see....... would Cameron run the country any better?
