RussRec’s guest blog is an eye opener. the recruitment industry is closing down and being foreclosed on while Gordon Brown comes on TV telling us he is doing all he can to get people back to work. He will get away with lying like this again and again until there is a general election, by which time recruiters like RussRec will be gone. How is the next government going to get people back to work, how long? Signing up for an Modern Apprenticeship means getting paid nothing while working without training until the government funding grant to the employer (user) runs out. Getting some training to get back to work is not on offer anywhere, though there are many “college courses” on offer for usually £2700 per head that will take money off the parents of anyone who applies.
If they took Godon Brown and Co out and publicly hanged them I would glady watch and support it, but that will not get this country back in business. Britain has been dismantled and put into receivership!

Unfortunately you join a long line of wasted opportunity, which includes large companies as well…Some like LDV probably could have been saved, but for fear of an episode of MG Rover / Stephen Byres…The Motor Industry, where even the brave MP fears to tread

My real fear is that very few UK Brands still exist who actually make something in the UK. Dyson and Clarks Shoes manufacture abroad. Rolls Royce Cars are really VW and most of BAE Systems is part of EADS or European Consortia.

If all we do is consume can we really ever balance the debt we are running up?

Our country started the Industrial Revolution, but we have long since sold out Industry.

But it is OK! “You can sign up for an Modern Apprenticeship” or “get some training to get you back to work!” Much better than you employing people and making a profit…

This is a frightening account.

If someone is happy to take risks, invest their time, money, create a business, that employs others, they deserve all our support.

This Government should be tried for not war crimes but economic crimes against humanity.

I hope you pull through this RussRec. Without people like you Britain would be a sad place
