i am really apolitical and can see the good and bad in all the politicians and parties.

i can see that some of what IDS (read Civil Servents, most PM's are not cleaver enough to work out what is being done) is doing is going to cause some individuals and families some hardship in the short term however I suspect everybody will agree that the social benefit system does need sorting out.

i cant imagine there is anybody on this site that doesn't know at least a few people or even family that are conning the system out of a few bob every week.

for example "Nearly 900,000 people who were on incapacity benefit dropped their claim to the payments rather than undergo a tough medical test, latest government figures show. "

now if it was me i would follow up every single one of those that have chosen to not claim that benefit rather than under go a medical and if it proves they are cheating the system get the money back for those that really need it.

900,000 choose to come off sickness benefit ahead of tests - Telegraph

Fifty quid these days is chump change, that would cover my fuel bills in winter $25 a week gas and about $15 a week electric, wow so that leaves about $10 for food, for a week that is one joint of meat and a bag of veg ?

So then what no Milk,Bread,Tooth Paste,Soap what about other bills / Water Bill no Tv License no House Phone no Travel Expenses no Clothes no Cleaning Equipment.

How the fook you supposed to even look for a job, walk 4 mile everyday the the job centre on an empty stomach looking like a tramp and no money to make phone calls.
