Credit where it is due...
Thanks to the Guardian for running those threads on CPUK and the scam that is Workfare.

Guardian 'Do you fancy Justin Bieber?'
Accurate answer for all non pedophiles = No the boy literally trends on his looks as a child rather then an adult man to sell records to mainly prepubescent and teenage girls.
What does this tell me that 11% of Guardian readers are prepubescent and teenage girls as the poll currently stands. The paper needs to clearly up the content to target a core adult market back to the readership.

Taxes the old and the little guy
Gives all the money to his friends the rich
Anxious to prove he's a banker's bitch
Georgy Porgy Toodle Pip
Shrinks the economy, double dip
When he blames the Germans for it
Former friends call him a Tory tit
Georgy Porgy Cameron's Crony
Peddling austerity baloney
With Clegg and Hunt the rich boys crew
Row to comeuppances well overdue.
Or to an all too familiar tune
Jolly commodities weather
Put all your money in things,
De-stabilise the markets,
There's profit in violent swings.
For we'll coin it together
With the country upon its knees
Yes we'll rich together
While the plebs are all on their knees.

However, can we be sure to leave them a note asking them not to do this again?
No. Much of this current lunacy can be traced back directly to Thatcher's deregulation of the City of London. The supposed gentalemen's agreement between merchant bankers has proved not to be worth the paper it was (not) written on. Their self-regulation has proven to be impractical, ineffectual, and easily avoided. The only note they will take note of is the one that says "an Act of Parliament for the regulation and control of Banks for the benefit of real people with criminal charges for any who breach the legislation herein enacted."

Market values have now spread their cankerous tendrils into every aspect of our lives, from education to even the way we speak of our personal relationships. If a siver-painted midget went capering through your house, defecating on anything of "sentimental value" while slapping up posters in your childrens' bedrooms which declared CONSIDER THIS YOUR NEW MOTHER beneath the wrinkled, beady-eyed face of Milton Friedman then you would not have a "family debate" but kick him out.

You miss the point. Your employer needs to reward you properly and treat you well or another employer will make you a better offer. If your employer succeeds in losing all his staff, he's bust.
At least that's the theory!
