David Cameron announced a crackdown on the workshy yesterday, declaring 'the free ride is over.
The message was carried on the first of a new series of posters, featuring the slogan: 'Let's cut benefits for those who refuse work.' Tories hope the series of slogans starting with 'Let's' will show the party wanting to work with the public to change Britain.
Earlier posters suggesting that Mr Cameron alone would achieve things were deemed a failure.

Right, I always make it known when I am commenting in any UK politics topic that I am NOT voting Labour.
ReplyDeleteWith that said, how is it that some people who are able bodied and mentally sound in the UK on the dole collecting Income Support and God knows what other benefit for 20 years etc?
If a person is out of work because they lost their job, made redundant, and are looking for work and are on benefits for a short amount of time or temporary basis or say for example they are looking after a sick relative full-time and so on, I understand fully.
What I DON'T understand is people that are able to work and not fitting the above criteria and those who just refuse and choose not to work, sitting around at home with no intention to ever work or even set up their own business. That IS pure laziness.
Now, another set of people who are bad for the UK economy generally are people who have done their research in foreign countries and know exactly how the system here works well for the lazy and have capitalised on it and come here posing as refugees and asylum seekers. These conniving and criminal minded indidviduals ruin it for the REAL refugees and asylum seekers.
Additionally, why is it that when these people turn up in the UK and are finally able to find their footing and establish themselves, why is it that they continue to collect UK benefits, live in a free house and don't work or have no intention of working?
I just wonder about these things, that's all.
By the way, I am NOT voting Conservative either because I remember how they managed to ruin evrything the last time around. Unfortunately for me, it was much later that I was allowed to vote, owing to my age at the time.
ReplyDeleteI was talking to a 19 year old, who has just come of age to vote and she states quite vehemently that she is NOT voting Labour...LOL
