There are too many I'm alright Jacks that think everyone that is unemployed is a scrounger and deserves to be treated unjustly.

Since it was launched in June 2011, 1.3m people have started on the Work Programme. Of those, 168,000 have gone into jobs for long enough - a fairly modest three months or six months, depending on their circumstances - to trigger "outcome" payments to the private sector agencies delivering the scheme. Even discounting those who only began the programme recently, the Government's claimed success rate of 15% leaves mucho to be desired. On that evidence, it is difficult to see how Help to Work will help or, indeed, work.
