Benefit Changes!

Former British Prime Minister Margaret ThatcherImage via WikipediaThe basic flaw about the governments efforts to reduce the benefit budget by getting people off benefits and into work is that the jobs they say that they want them to go into simply do not exist. The government themselves are going to axe seven hundred and fifty thousand public sector jobs in the next few years which is expected to push unemployment close to three million so there is clearly going to be a jobless problem at a time when the government are seeking to push people into work.
I also think it is wrong that some people with serious illness like Parkinson disease, MS, cancer are being told they are fit to work when they clearly are not.Something i think will get worse when companies doing the medical tests are paid by results. In other words they will be paid to say people are fit to work.This is a callous and will put already stressed people under even more stressed.
This government is acting in a more callous and uncaring manner than even Margaret Thatcher did at her worse.It is a right-wing government of the sort that we have never seen before in this country.It is unbritish as we are a compassionate and caring nation that as always believed in a society that cares for its weakest and most in need and I think it deserves to get kicked out of office as soon as possible.
