"Is there evidence that these have worked elsewhere?
If they were doing this when unemployment was falling & there were lots of jobs, you can sort of go 'ok, I can see why, how do we encourage people into jobs? But when unemployment is rising & there are fewer & fewer roles, it looks a lot like demonising people who are doing their best."

Tepui in Venezuela

Such a romantic place.

In 1884 British explorers Everard IM Thum and Harry Perkins became the first Europeans to hike the Tepui. After that, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle heard tales of their high-altitude trek through mesmerizing, misty cloud forest. Consequently, he was inspired to write “The Lost World,” from which Jurassic Park took its cue.
