That benefits are paid to people who are in low paid work also illustrates the difficulty that arises when a 'cost' is attached to benefit claimants (whether in a genuine effort or simply guff that is pumped out on Twitter). Low paid work can be work that is, perversely, very valuable to society, such as looking after the sick and elderly.
There is a distinct difference to people in low paid work than those sat on their arse milking the system.
I was referring to Cam saying nothings changed for some who imo see it as a lifestyle choice.
The tories and Liebour have rewarded these for years.
Lazy low life scroungers who expect everything paid for them.
The carers in nursing homes etc deserve more money without a doubt. Stop the benefits for the scroungers would be a good start imo.
