The government plans to send 500 unemployable graduates, from poor backgrounds, across the seas so they can, uh, build schools and things!

Jesus wept! So young Bob from Salford, who shockingly can't get meaningful work after getting an impressive 2:1 in Cheese Studies at the Mickey Mouse University (it would've been a first, but alas his New Labour Education meant he tended to spell his cheeses incorrectly, 'caerphilly' as 'kuhfili' for example), can now go build schools in Costa Rica.

But wait, there's some small print!

But according to the Times, graduates must raise £1000, buy their own flights and cover the cost of vaccinations to be eligible

Right. Because people from poorer backgrounds can afford that, especially during a recession - joined up government at it's best! It's like a Monty Python sketch!

You can just imagine Palin walking into an office, with Cleese sat behind a desk.

MP: I've come for the chance to build schools for poor people.
JC: Have you really? Jolly good! Tell me, have you got the £1000 and the ability to buy flights to Costa Rica?
MP: I 'ave! I 'ave!
JC: Oh. That is a shame. See, this is only for poor people, and if you can afford that you're obviously not eligible. Not poor enough see?
MP: What if I said I didn't have it?
JC: Well, now, then you couldn't go because you wouldn't have raised the necessary funds or fly there.
MP: So, there is no actual way of doing this then?
JC then sings I'm an Uncivil Servant (Just Fuck Off Will You?)

Anyone going on this will either not have that poor a background, or just be getting themselves into more debt to fund it. But hey, that's 500 people off the unemployment figures - although when it's creeping over 3 million, 500 hardly seems many.
