Too little too late

Picture
Unemployed workers over the age of 50 will receive help to find jobs from a new, £10 million government programme.

It seems that the Dept of WitlessPillocks (DWP) and Work and Pensions secretary, Yvette Cooper (whoever she may be) have decided that the time has come to target the unemployed over fifties for “specialist help and retraining” because they are “too important to the economy to be abandoned to long-term unemployment or early retirement.” And are going to spend £10 million for them to have the chance of more help, and the choice of when to retire.”

Yeah right, funny that this spiffing idea has vomited forth from the “Gov” just before the election, funny that the “grey vote” is a fairly substantial proportion of the electorate, funny that suddenly after more than a decade “they” have decided that the over fifties are a priority.

Funny that.....well it isn’t funny it’s a bloody insult.
