Where are these jobs in manufacturing? Have the unemployed got the appropriate skills to do the jobs that are out there?

Maybe the German manufacturing base is different. While you might like to comapare Germany and its economy the the British one, what evidence have you to suggest the economies are comaparable?
And in your wisdom Margaret what sort of percentage of those 3 million do you think chose to live on £65 per week rather than work?...I don't think the Tory government of the 80's lost to much sleep over the then 3.5 million..a figure that almost seems a target for this government in thier current de-employment scheme.
