Hammond Says That There Are 'no Unemployed People' !

I noticed he continued with this daft notion, even when Marr gave him the opportunity to take it back.

he said "There are no unemployed people" but he really meant "There are no unemployed shorthand typists"? Such an easy slip of the tongue to make. I do it all the time when I'm talking about shorthand typists. Sort of like when Boris referred to black people as "flag-waving piccaninnies

He's completely wrong.
There are two living just thirty or forty yards from my house. Quite whether they are "seeking work" and whether their efforts would be jeopardised by the new technology being discussed is another matter. One of them does a window cleaning round (cash only, natch). I'm not too sure that the other would have the time for work as he spends most of his day schlepping between the pub and William Hill's.

Yes emmie but the two I mentioned are "unemployed". It really depends what interpretation you place on that word. It strikes me that if people can travel from distant shores and manage to find work within a short time of landing here then there must be work about. It then hinges on whether many of these people are unemployed because they cannot find work or unemployed because it suits them not to.
"I wonder why he didn't just say, that there are
"no unemployable people" "
Don't you have it the wrong way about, Mikey. There are plenty of unemployable people (those that have insufficient skills or - more usually - the will to work). There are not so many people who are able and want to work but are unable to.

What I mean by my comment is that almost everybody who is currently jobless could be trained to do something, rather than laze about on the dole for years.
As you say, plenty of foreigners have managed to find work, most of it unskilled.
Perhaps it time to stop giving people the choice about working, training, or lazing about on the Dole.
No work, no training, no money.
