How does a person train to be a plumber which is a minimum of three years with a placement, and in doing so, have to take time off work to do so, putting themselves in further poverty and debt. Maybe the government should give them 90 grand for the three years while they train in whatever it is that they want to do in order to improve their standing in life. Sadly, that money would have to be found somewhere, Tax increase maybe, although that would make us all poorer while these people prosper. It's a conundrum, that's for sure.

Don't become a plumber then if you haven't got the money for the training, become something else like a HGV driver, the World is your oyster!

Replies are generic and may not apply to some people, but should apply to most!

Why on Earth should someone be disadvantaged for being risk averse? Some would call it a virtue. Just how many gamblers have been left penniless and desolate over the years?

Because it's a big bad World and if you don't get yourself out of a porely paid dead end job, no one else will!

Those courses are mostly shite

You become a plasterer or a dry liner through being taught properly not spending a week flying through too much information

which is what I always thought ( being a time served carpenter ) but the way the industry is, they need bodies, so if its a " foot in the door " then its got to be a start

Would he be interested?
It would be fantastic and a jolt that the Labour Party has needed for a good while.

I'm not sure how he would go down with the Novara Media crowd...but I believe that he would almost certainly win back the lost "red wall".

Another strike. This one impacts me a lot as I am supposed to be travelling across the country from a short holiday with my children.
