Welfare mothers to be forced to work
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle5299325.ece
Ignoring the utter hilarity of Brown going Tory I must it's about time something like this was implemented. Recently ranted elsewhere about last time I was getting my hair cut I was sat next to a young lady getting an £80 hair cut who was telling the lady cutting her hair how she'd got knocked up so she could get "one of them nice flats off the council and not have to work". This was the same day I was taxed over £4000 on my gross pay. Personally I'm sick and tired of paying for the scroungers that the welfare state has created. There are definitely people out there that need help but after ~60 years of the welfare state, a system designed to help people when they are in trouble, there are a lot of people out there that see it as their right to live off the state. |
