WORK FOR BENEFITS?

Workfare is a new scheme set up by the government, workfare means that some people on benefits are now expected to work just to receive the their benefits, the government claim it gives young people “some of whom have never worked”  valuable work experience and “brings them into the real world of work”, is stacking shelves at Tesco or Asda at 3.00 am for free valuable work experience? or is it just another massive rip off and exploitation of the unemployed in Great Britain? the trouble is taxpayers hard earned money is funding free labor to massive billion pound corporations, even worse is once somebody starts a workfare program they are no longer classed as unemployed so workfare makes the unemployment rate look like its dropping despite the fact there are more people on workfare still claiming benefits paid for by the taxpayer! a lot of these corporations like Tesco, Walmart and Primark already use child labor in third world countries, paying children as young as 8 years old, as little as 7 pence per hour and forcing them to work  over 50 hours per week, corporations like these have already proven they have very little respect for human rights and if they will exploit children in the third world they would obviously feel no way in exploiting people  in Great Britain. Some of these corporations are only paying 1% and now they do not want to pay any labor cost in Britain and British people have the power to put an end to this, it easy, STOP SHOPPING THERE! Below is a list of some of the companies using taxpayer funded free labor.
