Chris Grayling, the employment minister, hits out at the critics of a flagship Government scheme to combat joblessness amongst the young.
For such job snobbery he is engaging MI6 to track the culprits to sanction them…. This is what you get when bureaucrats envision themselves as leaders –they have totally no sense of the effects on people their policy has. For this outburst he should resign….
Critics of Government work experience programme are 'jobs snobs', says minister
So how, you might wonder, could left-wing commentators and media whip themselves into the kind of frenzy that we have seen in recent days? It’s “twenty-first century slavery”, they say. “Forced labour” must stop.
The answer, I’m afraid, is very simple. The critics are job snobs. Day after day the Guardian newspaper publishes stories attacking big retailers for offering short term unpaid work experience placements for young people.
But that same Guardian newspaper advertises on its website, yes, you guessed it, short term unpaid work experience placements for young people.
So they think it’s not acceptable for Tesco to offer a first opportunity to a young person to join an organisation which employs hundreds of thousands of people in a wide variety of roles around the world. But it is OK for a left-wing newspaper in the UK to do it.
