1 million people in work to be classed as "not working enough" by DWP

[Mecky]

As for who takes the wrap I'd say that's the Minister of that department, Iain Duncan Smith, and the rest of the MPs who voted these kind of policies through.

 

That's the point I was making. It should be like that but it's rarely the case. Unless, of course, it has a postive impact on society, then they'll try and take all the credit.

Yeh right DWP. you have no idea of life on the streets of Britain, civil servants polititions and the wealthy look at life through rose tinted glasses while the people at the sharp end take all the shi% pay all the tax and do all the work.

Although back to reality, this government are considering how to increase peoples wages so they don't need government help. That includes lifting the income tax threshold and considering an increase in NMW for large employers.

The key problem is living costs, not wages.

 

It's why Osborne's deliberate ramping of property prices is so idiotic.

 

The real solution would be to tackle it from both angles by ensuring a modest rise in incomes, along with action to tackle housing, utility and transport costs.

I don't see the problem with it, surely if your earnings have to be subsidised by the state then they should be checking you are actually trying to improve your lot.

 

Agree with you also ILT23 about living costs but also think that the rose of the tax threshold was the best thing any government has done since I can remember.

The problem is too many people, too much demand for housing, too much competition for jobs, too many people for natural resources. Reduce the population by restricting immigration and disencouraging breeding and everything will sort itself out.

You should be shot for posts such facts.

 

You know what comes next.

Build more house, create more jobs, grow more food, dig deeper and bigger hols in the earth to find more resources, anything but put a limit on population expansion.

'Disencouraging breeding'

 

Are you of the blonde haired and blue eyed fraternity by any chance ?

That may be the case; but I just have one child and I have reduced my working hours from 45 to 25. I hope they dont come after me.

I see the DWP are up to their usual dirty tricks of maligning their customers:

I've lost count of the number of times the DWP have been found out:

• Lying about benefit claimants
• denying people benefits who are entitled to them
• vilifying and being hateful about clients. g As well as the example above the Channel 4 programme Dispatches showed undercover footage of a Capita Assessor calling someone who wants to claim PIP as '****ing Fat'.  https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/channel-4-dispatches-benefits-row-pips_uk_570c9b0fe4b0ae22c1e0397f
• Found to be grossly incompetent in the administration of benefits resulting in hardship, breakdowns and deaths.
