Testing the fairness of workfare

Comment

I am no lawyer or leftie but it IS forced labour (ie slavery) if the work is not paid for at the National Minimum Wage or its equivalent. As such it is an unacceptable abuse of the unemployed by a vicious and uncaring government. The poster above who mentioned it as free labour has got it spot-on. Simply put, it is the Nasty Party's way of getting around the NMW which they don't agree with and no doubt getting a few backhanders from their big business mates for services rendered.
