Angry State benefits 'too easy' to get!

Pledging tough action to withdraw benefits from people who refuse to work, the Tory leader offered a damning analysis of a welfare system that encourages people to remain idle.
"There are almost 5 million people in Britain of working age who are out of work and on benefits. That's bad for them. It's bad for our society," Mr Cameron said.
The benefit system itself encourages a benefit culture, and sends "perverse messages", Mr Cameron said.
He said: "So we will end the something for nothing culture. If you don't take a reasonable offer of a job, you lose benefits. Go on doing it, you'll keep losing benefits. Stay on benefits and you'll have to work for them."
He concluded: "This problem goes very deep - and dealing with it will be very tough."

They couldn't afford the total benefits bill anyway, it runs at about £150bn a year, and we've got loans to pay back now.

I wonder if Mr. Camermoron is going to thank us for the policies he has pilfered?

I was looking in local paper for a job today.... there was nothing that could tie in with my kids and hubbies school and work hours... and I hate to put them in before/after school and holiday clubs... sort of defeats the point of having them!

Try working in a school like I do. That was the reason I started it in the first place.
