    Not in this case. Nope.

        If you take away all benefits, people will steal to survive.

        So no.

            No - that would only drive them into futher crime - remember Tough on Crime - tough on the causes of Crime - and for good measure Alf Tupper - tough of the track.

            PS I would suggest that an enrollement on a community service program is a better way forward.

              Didn't he used to run bare footed? He wants to grab himself a nice pair of Nikes from that JD Sports shop window on the High Street before they board it up.

                No, they will have to look for a job, and possibly even take one of the jobs that only the East Europeans will do!

                Able bodied people should not be allowed to sponge off the state for ever.

                  Which is why they should lose their benefit and then put into workhouses where they can kick start the manufacturing industry by making Chopsticks for China.

                    Making convicts lose all benefits going forward is not retrospection.
                    Apparently it is down due to the huge numbers who want to sign the petition!

                    Keep trying.
