Soft jobs or non-jobs?

This pathetic excuse for a Government is now set on spending £1 billion on creating tens of thousands of "soft" public sector jobs for unemployed people including dance assistants, tourism ambassadors and solar panel engineers. The Telegraph reports that:
"The taxpayer-funded jobs are being created by councils, quangos and charities under a Government scheme to remove 150,000 people from the unemployment register over the next two years.

The first 47,000 jobs in the scheme, costing about £300 million, are to be announced on Wednesday by Yvette Cooper, the Work and Pensions Secretary."
Yes this Labour government, who have bloated the public sector to unprecedented levels, have now decided that the best path to follow is to bloat it some more. A non-job is not a job it is a way of reducing the unemployment figures and maybe persuading people provided with such non-jobs to vote Labour in order to keep their jobs.

What more strokes will this Labour government try and pull next?
