Ed Balls - Policy Absurdities.

Balls talks about a Compulsory Jobs Guarantee where unemployed 18-24 year olds out of work would be offered a taxpayer funded job. But under EU rules, British workers cannot be prioritised. Is he planning on extending that scheme to the five million young people unemployed across the EU? Here he is talking about building 200,000 new homes. Where? Who for? One assumes they are needed to house the ever increasing number of migrant workers flooding in to the UK. He talks about increasing the minimum wage. But it's the millions of low skilled EU workers that mean unscrupulous employers get away with offering temporary contracts on the cheapest wages to foreign workers.
