When I was on the dole myself, all I wanted was a job. But there is a shortfall of jobs now, which is going to get worse as the public sector lay-offs begin, with a knock-on effect on the private sector when, for example, building projects are cancelled and construction workers are laid off.<br /><br />I can't see either the Afghan war or Trident as contributing to our safety. Quite the opposite, in my view.
