smell the hypocrisy :D

 

Detainees 'exploited' for labour

Oxford and District Trades Union said detainees at Campsfield House in Kidlington, are being paid £5-a-day for six hours of cleaning and kitchen work. The Home Office said detainees were exempt from the minimum wage and none of them were forced to work.

 

i love this government...give me a laugh everyday since they've been in power

can't smell anything here. They are all awaiting deportation. It strikes me they are receiving £5 too much,

TBH I think they should do it for nothing. If you get nicked and go to prison you earn half that for a days work so they are on easy street.

but the point is surely there are 100's of people on JSA in that locality who could do the job but insted the powers that be short cut the min wage rules and give it to those guys basically undermining the local labour market.....what next...have them doing road work or street cleaning or IT?

Don't get me wrong. This government is hypocritical and what they are doing is wrong but as far as the detainees are concerned its their own fault and even under these circumstances they are probably better off than they would be back home?

 

But that said who can blame them? You take your chances in life and sometimes it dosen't go the way you wanted it to. No one can be blamed for trying to get themselves a better life.
