All Aboard The Apprenticeship

Gordon Brown is to hand £140m of your money to firms so they can create worthless pretend-apprenticeships as an excuse to pay less than the minimum wage to millions of their workers, he announced proudly.
"A modern apprenticeship is worth five A*-grade GCSEs," he said. "No, really. I am particularly proud that McDonalds - a company with a fine history of treating its employees like royalty - has been piloting this scheme. We have already thrown them £1000 per employee to bring them to the heights of proficiency and professionalism when offering fries with that."
