Someone's seen the light at last

This morning I nearly choked on my muesli while I listened to the news because at last a politician has 'seen the light' so Praise be to God because it's something that's long, long overdue.
Before long those who have been unemployed for over a year will be made to carry out jobs such as cleaning the streets, gardening, painting schools etc. and if they refuse then their benefits will be sanctioned for up to three months.
I wouldn't mind betting that tomorrow morning a lot of advisers in the jobcentres up and down the country will be jumping up and down and shouting with joy. For the last seven or more years of my working life I dealt with long term unemployed and a huge majority of them had no intention of finding work, many were working cash in hand or up to other scams but they knew as long as they 'played the game' there wasn't anything we could do about it, besides, they all knew how to get round the system better than any of us. We knew all the best ways to catch them out though!
So now they will have no choice and the reason that this step is being taken is to get people into a routine of getting up and going to work. Many of the younger unemployed don't even realise that ther is more than one 9 o'clock in the day!
So at last, it's a step in the right direction and now all he has to do is to enforce a system similar to 'the green card' that was in operation many years ago where an employer had to employ ten per cent of employees with a green card. This was carried by those who had some barrier to employment and included those who had certain disabilities and those with learning difficulties who would otherwise have been unemployed. Employers today often don't want to bother with people who need repetitive menial tasks and extra supervision so these people are pushed out of normal society and are left to claim either jobseeker's allowance or employment support allowance. So, the government now needs to bring in legislation to help these people, many of whom would like to work, and make employers give them adequate support because although employers are not supposed to discriminate against people like this, they most certainly do.
