There's like 15 people in this country who could be looking for work and aren't. How does inflicting revenge pain on them raise any sort of money for the rest of us?
They're either lying, or utterly incompetent when it comes to understanding who's in the welfare system.
Or both I guess.
They understand what their voters want to hear: it's not us causing the problem in this country, it's the lazy benefit cheats
We've come full circle on this one. This is pretty much exactly the same shit they said 13 years ago when we all had to 'tighten our budgets' whilst the richest people in the UK got significantly richer at our expense.
Clearly the poors should be pulling themselves up by their stiff upper lip or something like that
A bloody lot more than that.
