If someone is not willing to work then stop their benefits. I don't think of it as slave labour I look at it as a means to an opportunity. There is the great unwashed in society that just won't work not everyone it could be if you have been umemployed for 12 months or longer. It's better than sending people on C.V training courses 20 times and do their maths and english tests 20 times it all costs money to do that.
Some people feel worthless while unemployed and can't get a job this will give them some hope and looks good to future employers

That comment alone just proves my point about people in this country, they think being British is a skill on it's own merit and they all want to be a cheif. it's about time we started turning that around.
Picking fruit might not be a top paid, skilled job earning 20k+ a year but it's a means to an end when there is a large population unemployed looking for work and this a way to do that british pride or not

No that comment doesn't prove your point at all because you don't have one, it might sound good but like the bunk couch scratch beneath the surface and it's ridiculous, there isn't a large population unemployed, we have near enough for this debate 100% employment and you want those that have lost their jobs to stop looking for a similar type job so they can be temporarily housed in the country to pick fruit for three quid an hour but it's okay because we'll continue to pick up the housing benefit for the flat they're no longer living in whilst they do it! Then you change your "idea" to long term unemployed only cutting your large population of unemployed considerably but it's okay because the farmers will be only to happy to employ and house this veritable army of shirkers, as I said it might sound good but the reality would be very different, mind you I doubt the government gives a toss if it sounds good so this will probably be in the autumn statement
