"Lord Timpson, has previously said the service is “very experienced” at dealing with hunger strikes "

Has the 'Lord' ever asked himself why; "the [uk prison] service is “very experienced” at dealing with hunger strikes"?

The Strouds are overt CNats who have been peddling 'evangelical' redemption for just as long

"a thoughtful piece"

The original concept of workfare from MDRC, funded by the Ford Foundation

Who based the concept on breaking rocks for the parish (or county)

So back to the Poor Laws via MDRC, IEA and Policy Exchange

It's about massaging the figures and pandering to the prejudices of the tabloids with a rehashed YTS...

Privatised "providers"; 'hospitality' or 'building'

Not many skills in either after six months

Work affected by Brexit

The original concept from Reagan's attacks on US (CA) Social Security
