If that is the case then the 22% is disturbing.

Does he, as well as Greyling and Smith know the above failures? Of course they do! They present the WP as an ideological holy grail even though it was not fit for purpose from week one! <br /><br />If I were a betting man, I'd put hard cash on the table that the WP will be 'tweaked' and rebranded in the same way that New Deal transformed itself and became ever so 'flexible'!<br /><br />In essence, what we are seeing is that between one fifth and one quarter have found work under the WP. However, many of these positions are temp ones. I wonder how many are zero hour and commission only jobs as well?<br /><br />As for Ms Taylor. I almost feel sorry for the poor lass after reading her blog. We have to assume she wrote it as she signed it with her name, and a kiss no less! <br /><br />If this were a website for a cake decorator for example, it may be pernickety to be critical of spelling mistakes. A cake decorator is not paid to have great grammar. However, some will judge a business or service on the quality of the face its owner presents to the world. If one cannot be bothered to pay attention to detail on the website, will the cakes be any better? There is little excuse not to be able to have properly spelt text on a website or CV. Word processors /office suites are affordable and even FREE! For a person such as Ms Taylor, there is NO excuse whatsoever! She is supposedly an expert in sourcing jobseekers work on both sides of the Atlantic. And yet, she presents such awfully presented text on a site that could be seen by thousands? Would she find a CV presented in such a way (such as not capitalising the letters in USA) acceptable? She IS the expert after all!!!!iMattnoreply@blogger.com
