If Cameron wants to bring down unemployment, he could stop sacking workers – Kevin Maguire – Mirror Online

Upwards of 200,000 Britons didn’t suddenly decide they don’t want to work when David Cameron got his loafers under the Cabinet table.

And hoards more young people didn’t wake up and think employment, education or training weren’t for them.

The dole queues stretch 2.67 million back because the ConDem ­Coalition just isn’t working.

The Chancellor, George Osborne, inherited economic growth and shrinking ­unemployment.

And the Treasury Thatcherite turned it into a shrinking economy with growing ­unemployment.

Yet hatchet-hearted Jobless Minister Chris Grayling shifts responsibility onto those whose lives he’s blighting.

The Tory strategy of blaming the jobless for their plight is cynical when the Cons are destroying jobs, particularly in public services.

Because the chronic problem is the increasing shortage of jobs – not a surge in skivers.

Unemployment didn’t start in May 2010 when the Conservatives succeeded Labour.

But it’s no surprise joblessness has reached its worst level since 1995 – the last time the Cons were in office.

Cameron’s families champion, Emma Harrison, banking £8million, is to grow rich on welfare-to-work programmes.

The reality of the Tory workfare programme, however, is toil for free or lose your £67.30 Jobseeker’s Allowance.
