Come On, Someone Really Needs a Reality Check!! Tories Prove They Don't Have a Grasp on Reality

Maria Miller fails to grasp the basics
of reality

Just when you think that the Tories couldn't be more out of touch with reality, they sucker-punch you, and reveal how far detached they are from the basic facts in modern Britain. It is no secret that unemployment is at a 17 year high- yet, the Tories asserted on Monday that there are Jobs galore.

Maria Miller, the Minister for the Disabled, proved that her head is up in the clouds when she insisted that there was “no shortage of jobs”, just a lack of appetite to work. She told Pienaar's Politics on BBC Radio 5 Live:

“If you look at the facts and figures, there's 400,000 jobs at any one point in Jobcentres. I was in the Wirral on Friday, talking to one of our local Jobcentres there, and there isn't a shortage of jobs-n what there can be is a lack of appetite for some of the jobs available.”

Anyone that knows anything will testify about what a load of baloney that is. She says that all the figures prove her claim. Well, Mrs Miller, maybe you overlooked the fact that, recent figures show that in Wirral there are 8,686 jobseekers chasing just 802 vacancies. In other areas, figures point out that there are 20 applicants for every vacancy.

So with the jobless total currently standing at a eye-watering 2.68 million people (including over one million 16 to 24 year olds) how has she come to her half baked conclusion?

How can we expect any of the issues we face as a nation to be solved, when those in power are denying they exist.
