So he is actually giving them money to work full time for below minimum wage  |
Its a charity shop so I doubt they will be swimming in money. Many of the staff in charity shops are volunteers

I don't think everyone on welfare are scum. I think there are nice and not so nice people in all walks of life.
The threats are probably there for those who you think are scum. If you don't tar yourself with that brush the threats will be meaningless because you will attend the interviews when required.
