I'd like to hear Graham Jones view on this.

In February 2011, our Graham advertised for a parliamentary intern on an unspecified contract length to be paid lunch and travel expenses.
His argument for doing this...
Graham Jones MP: Parliamentary Interns. Right wing bloggers
The comments from Guido Fawkes and Ian Silvera blow his full page argument out of the water in a couple of brief paragraphs, but I guess his blog gives you some idea of his personal view on this kind of thing
Tory, Labour, LibDem...when it comes to jumping on the media led populist bandwagon that the unemployed are a workshy drain, they fall over themselves to condemn and get airtime....when it comes to dipping their hands in their own pocket to help...you won't see them for dust
