I'll not deny your point as there will be some unfortunates who will end up on the streets. The vast majority on the other hand will manage & the cataclysmic scenario espoused by those who are trying to make a political point will end up by contriving to say their comments were misrepresented.

3 million, 1 million, a vast difference there Mancie. As to
your "Work shy Scroungers" comment. I made no such utterance, if you'd care to re-read my quote (post 1420), I remarked as to how there was no distinction of claimants & all had been universally assimilated into the figures.

And why is that then ? Don't trot out the tired excuse that there's no work out there, I would suggest otherwise. There are enough Eastern Europeans & others who have managed to find work & I'm pretty sure they don't see it as their lifes ambition but being realists they've made a conscious choice to grit their teeth & get on with what's available.
The only difference I see is that some people deem these positions below them (even though they've no qualifications or a basic grasp of a working ethic, fostered by successive Governments policies & their expansion of an even larger dependency culture) & aren't prepared to accept something that doesn't suit them or fulfil their wants. That said, there will also be genuine cases of hardship & inability & these people should be helped & encouraged, but sadly, far to many are just not interested in an honest days graft, when they can put their hand out & the money pixie fills their pudgy, soft, sovereign bedecked, Burberry clad mitts.
