AFAIK it's "remove red tape", i.e. allow anyone on a provisional to haul 40 tons of flammable liquid around with no restrictions on hours worked etc. so the poor overworked haulage company owners don't have to actually pay a driver what they're worth.

One of the guys I work with did 4 years for, I think, manslaughter and he's a pretty decent driver. It can be difficult for people with criminal records to get a job so as long as they're competent then this could be a real route into employment for them.

EDIT: My mum has decided that at 78 it's a great time to learn Welsh but now she doesn't want to say the Welsh word for fish (pysgod) because she says it's rude and irreligious not that she is religious.

These are Tories operating the program though. The only route it will lead into is indentured servitude and exploitation of the prisoners assigned to the jobs, and enrichment of the connected private contractors hired to run the program.

To be fair, you'll get the same result if Keit's Labour party were to run the show.

The other thing it will lead to is prisoners becoming valuable enough that we'll start sending more people down so they can be used for labour in the gulags. What are we missing, 100,000 lorry drivers? I'm sure we could convict enough people for looking funny to get that shortage covered.

Well I was thinking it more for people who have come out of prison and would find it difficult to get work. I'd hate to think of the logistical gently caress ups that would happen if they used actual prisoners.

Good idea however, there is no k in Welsh and I don't want to confuse the poor lass anymore than she already is. I asked her "how are you" yesterday and she replied first with the Welsh for "goodbye" then "have fun."

He was involved in some prosecutions under the 'Extreme Pornography' laws that people called unnecessarily directed at the gay community, however I can't find them between him (rightly) condemning Operation Spanner when he was much younger and visiting Bad Church earlier this year.

Worse than just that, he was full-on director of public prosecutions from 2008-2013. What an absolutely rancid bag of poo poo.
