The Telegraph reports that the Government is to give its consent to a new European Directive which allows agency workers - temps - the same rights and benefits as others.
While one side of the Government (Gideon 'George' Osborne) assures us that there will be measures in favour of jobs and reducing regulation, the other side (John 'Vince' Cable) comes up with this idiocy. In the midst of an awful recession and rising unemployment the Government proposes to increase the costs of employing people. We can almost forgive the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels who came up with this idea, because they don't have to live in the real world. But the elected government of the UK does have to live in the real world and they have completely lost it.
The truth of the matter is that Mr Cameron's unelected and anti-democratic coalition has to say yes to everything European, however mindless, just to keep the likes of Mr Cable on board. The workers and the unemployed can go hang.
