Re: Worse than The Depression - says Maundy founder.
I agree... Maundy Grange is a blight. 'St Dorothy' is foolish, misguided and naive..but does not deserve the grief she is getting on here.
Her ideals are sound...someone with a few quid deciding to help the more unfortunate..ain't that socialism?
Thing is, the unfortunate are taking the mick out of her, I'm sure she intended something different than what Maundy Grange has become, but what can she do?
I suppose she could employ people, to means test each individual case. She could take photo's of people who already claimed, and refuse them a second time..She could check on how many jobs they had applied for since they last claimed. She could make them apply for jobs in Kendal, Skipton, Morecambe, and Chester etc.etc..Just like a real job centre.. Would this work???
Thing is, the government, with it's massive resources, still has major isssues in dealing with benefit fraud....what chance does some altruistic 77 year old with limited resources have.?
