Iain Duncan Smith, IDS not to be confused with IBS, has called critics of the wonderful Government scheme, where 18 – 24 year olds get offered unpaid jobs, as ‘job snobs. Mr Duncan Smith said in the Daily Mail:
The implicit message behind these attacks is that jobs in retail, such as those with supermarkets or on the High Street, are not real jobs that worthwhile people do. How insulting and demeaning of the many thousands of people who already work in such jobs up and down the country. I doubt I’m the only person who thinks supermarket shelf-stackers add more value to our society than many of those ‘job snobs’ who are pontificating about the government’s employment policies.
You arrogant fucker – it isn’t an insult or demeaning to people who already do those jobs, putting our youth out to work for nothing short of slavery and that is the insult. Take away the EMA so many can’t afford to go into full time education, and offer them unpaid jobs; if a job needs doing then there should be a wage attached to it. All very inspirational and motivating, next they will bring in conscription because that will make a man of you (or at least allow you to police the olympics).
I’d rather smoke crack and riot!
