I'm hoping he was metaphorically saiding people shouldn't be allowed to plan a lifesyle based on sitting at home sponging off the state long term. Because if he actually said what he means........ |

Maybe his moat needs cleaning out. Benefits are there to stop unemployed people from starving to death, not to act as a gateway to slave labour. The system is far from perfect and people do abuse it, but not everyone does. The vast majority would rather have a job. |

Personally I think a bit of community work - not full time - should be required to allow you to collect benefits If you want a job but are unable to get one then it will help keep you in the work routinen and I dont see why you would complain |

I have some sympathy for that suggestion. Total up the benefits you get and say you have to do something around (benefits/(minimum wage rate*some small multiple)) hours of community related stuff. Not something that should be a proper job for someone else but stuff that is as you say meaningful and stops being people becoming institutionalised to being 'out of work'. |
