Letter: Workfare looks unworkable to the Kentish 'chain gang'

Sir: So the Government is considering a range of "workfare" options (report, 26 September), the "most radical of which is encouraging employers to give work with training to young unemployed people. They would be paid by the employer and have their benefit stopped."

And I thought that was a job. Then again, I suppose for the Tories that is radical.
