Jobs in Hull

Anybody else seriously worried about the lack of jobs in Hull ? Why does this area never seem to get any government help on this issue ? When I worked in manufacturing industry in Hull a few years ago I know for a fact that jobs went from Hull to Merseyside as the company was actually subsidised to ‘create’ jobs on Merseyside .

Hull has always & presumably always will vote Labour. So the government don’t need to bribe the electorate with jobs.

True. Labour has Hull stitched up, just as the Conservatives have the East Riding stitched up. When Hull West started to look a little dodgy, they ‘adjusted’ the boundaries to put more labour voters in and called it Hull West and Hessle. The Conservatives didn’t mind losing the labour voters from East Riding; All very cosy. That’s the main reason why the Humber Bridge debt will never be paid off; there’s no parliamentary benefit to either party.
Also, have you noticed that Hull’s Labour councillors have been quiet for a few years about claiming Haltemprice as part of Hull? The last thing they want at the moment are more Liberal councillors.
Also, if Haltemprice were combined into Hull, the next logical thing would be to adjust the parliamentary boundaries, and have a seat of Hull West and Haltemprice. Whoops! I think something pink with a curly tail just flew past the window.

Anybody actually been job hunting? Think I’m going to be out of a job soon.

I’ve just seen a life model job advertised. Its for Hull College and presumably you just sit about all day. Granted, you may be naked and in front of 20 college students but hey, who hasn’t been in that position before!?
It pays ok as well. If I was out of work then i’d do something like this if all the obvious jobs were gone. I bet there’s a few strange little jobs out there like this that never cross our mind. Its not exactly a career move but at least it brings in the cash.

Can you sell your boby to science & get your hands on the money before you actually die?

Regarding jobs and "streamlining", do we need in our small northern town, three members of parliament?. maybe a couple of them should be "downsized", along with the attendant hangers-on and office-working relatives. should save a few quid in these hard times.

You can make quite a bit of cash by letting research places test out new drugs on you. You’d have to be pretty strapped for cash but there are a couple of places in Leeds that do it. Of course there was that case a year or so ago where it went HORRIBLY wrong but that is very rare in these type of studies (apparantly!). I once went to a… well I suppose it was a recruitment seminar for one of these things while at Uni. I was really skint at the time so seriously considered it. The side effects from these studies are usually mild headaches and the odd case of the runs. The money increased depending on how long you were there. A three week study got you close to three grand. But then you cant do it again in the UK for another year i think.
Oliver St John Goherty (an Irish playwrite, part time policital activist and sportsman) was renowned for the things he got up to while drunk. Once, he friend had drunk so much that he passed out. Old Oliver prompty encased the unconscious man in a shrine and sold him to the local medical school claiming that the man was dead. The man woke hours later and had to rip his way out of his tempory cloth tomb, thankfully escaping being dissected. See, there are loads of ways to make money if you put your mind to it.

i would guess that selling your body and then continuing to live in it until "retirement" is not allowed. however, you can receive payment for medical/drug research such as viagra trials. so you can certainly rent out bits of yourself and of course you can donate blood, sperm, eggs etc. depending on which bits you are equipped with.

Thanks Mario. Donating sperm on draught sounds interesting. A bit like having your cake & eating it.

Adolf Submitted about 1 year ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!
i recall that there was a recent article in the HDM from some medical type bemoaning the lack of male donors.
-
theagitator Submitted about 1 year ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!
I should imagine that female sperm donors are quite rare, so it’s male or nothing. The viagra test sound interesting also.
-
Adolf Submitted about 1 year ago Unsuitable Content? Report it!
i believe that females can donate eggs.

Maybe if all the chavs in Hull donated their sperm to a bank,there may not be so many pregnant teenage girls in Hull. But my kids are in jobs,but are not the jobs they really want to do.Two have degrees and are seeking jobs in other areas.I feel sorry for my grandkids who may not a job when they leave school.Hull is known as a low paid city and with more and more factories closing,and no new employers coming in to the city,the only way to get a well paid job is to leave Hull

Back on the subject of the thread, Merseytravel, the regional Passenger Transport Executive which covers the whole of Merseyside provides support for people wanting to find employment or get into work but who are unable to because of the cost. Merseytravel work in partnership with Job Centre Plus to fund this initiative. You might find these two links of interest.
Does Hull have anything similar in place and if not why not? Seems to me we are missing out not having a Merseytravel-style organisation covering Humberside. These types of examples strengthen the argument. Why is it that Merseyside are so far ahead of Humberside when it comes to employment support? BTW, before anyone jumps down my throat I know Humberside the county no longer exists but I am just trying to put things into perspective and the two are useful from a geographical point of view. Its much easier this way.
