There's no such thing as a right to work

The Right to Work campaign is marching on Downing St.

They want to highlight the number of people unemployed (2.64 million on the figures just in, up 128,000 on last month). Fine and good.

Just one problem: there is no right to work. Sorry about that, but it doesn’t exist. How could it? It’s ludicrous.
