To create unemployment by sacking millions of people (a large majority under the age of 35) is a lazy not thought out policy that wil come back to haunt the economy of this country in years to come.

My late husband was a regular in HM forces during Harold Wilson's reign in the 1960s. Maybe you'd like to explain why Wilson cut their allowances and cut their numbers making tens of thousands redundant in that period. It was noticeable that the men with most experience and thus had larger wages were the target of the cuts. It was a period when Kenyon Asian refugees were streaming into Britain, which meant long council housing waiting lists and not many job vacancies.
