What f's me off is the fact that those who are given benefits are under no pressure to do anything for their handout, I do understand there are cases that can't, disabled for instance. There is no ROI on benefits and there should be.
Even if they had to do 10 hours a week community service or similar to enhance their local area it would be something. Park maintenance, cutting communal grass, removing graffiti etc.... loads that could be done with zero additional skills if they got off their backsides.

I say keep benefits but those that are able to work , make them do community work or no benefit money. In a year the country would be a different place.

The longer term unemployed are ill educated and the majority have a 'better than thou' attitude. They won't wait tables, pick up litter, clean toilets, work in McDonalds! These people have it installed that their self worth are higher than others and deserve more. Hence we get better educated , poorer people to come in to do the work.
I'm proud to have done all those jobs(I didn't do MaccyDs though). To me it is more important to work, thats self worth, not the 'quality' of work. Remember your tulip smells as much as the next person.

What we really need to get rid of is the situations where most of the wage earners in a family are out of work long term. And TBH we need to do something about the quality of work as well, a lot of minimum wage jobs would still be demeaning if they paid 10x as much.

90% of people on benefits could take a job, it's just that 'minimum wage' is an insult. Some people are to proud and precious to take 'work', because that work means cleaning, waiting, service etc.
Benefits are a travesty. They kill effort and a work attitude. I once claimed a weeks 'income support' when I was 19 and I still feel ashamed. And for the record, this is my real view not a CUK troll. I have no time for it or the people who
claim it.
