    Cameron brought us get the unemployed to work unpaid for private corporations to keep their unemployment benefits.

    If you want to argue that is technically paid work you can buy then it was paid at £1.60/hour, far below minimum wage and the tax payer was paying it rather than the corporation benefiting from it.
