These fuckers need to be stopped in every country. If those useless parasitic shitstains would PAY for peoples' labor, then they wouldn't be jobless!

FIRMS including Tesco, Argos and Superdrug have taken on staff who will work for free and claim their benefits - but they will lose them if they drop out of the scheme.

SOME of Britain’s biggest firms have drafted in thousands of jobless youngsters to work for free during their Christmas rush.

The Sunday Mail can reveal a massive recruitment drive for unpaid labour under a Government-based scheme over the festive season.

High street names such as Tesco, Argos and Superdrug have taken on young people who work for free for six weeks while claiming their benefits.

And critics fear staff at Jobcentres are under pressure to put more people into the programmes – when they could have been given jobs – to meet strict Government targets.

1. To make this scenario even more akin to Charles Dickens,

the young people would pay for "the privilege" of working for these big businesses.
