    It's been obvious to anyone with a brain cell that NL have moved people off unemployment benefit on to the sick so they can claim they are reducing unemployment.

    That trick has been going on since the late 80s. The difference being the current government were doing it as the economy expanded which is rather silly.
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              I havent heard of depression in third world countries that keeps people off work. I am not sure that the rest of society should accept that they should pay to keep people just because "they are too depressed" to get out of bed. It is a tough world out there and I bet there would be an awful lot of "depressed people" out there who would suddenly discover a work ethic if benefits were withdrawn.

                Maybe such people just die, and it's attributed to starvation or drugs or suicide?

                    Surely CUK deserves some merit and funding from the NHS ?

                    After all, we do a grand job providing warmth, compassion and tolerance to several people who would otherwise run amok in the public domain.

                    If it wasn't for CUK, some of these people might be attending trendy parties somewhere near you and torturing guests with their pedantry and carrier bag collections.

                    Three cheers for CUK, saving the planet one geek at a time !
                    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                      What Labour say and what they do are two different things.
