50% Would Rather Give Up Benefits Than Work

Half of those claiming unemployment benefits would prefer to lose their handouts than do a stint of unpaid work. 

When I heard this I nearly fell from my chair. Figures show that 20 per cent of those ordered to take part in four-week community projects stop claiming immediately and another 30 per cent are stripped of their benefits when they fail to turn up. Does this mean they can live without benefits? If they can, why do they need benefits? 

This shows that half of people claiming benefits have absolutely no intention of working. This is shocking news for many, millions could be saved if these people stopped claiming benefits.

Employment Minister Chris Grayling will announce a major expansion of the scheme next month, costing nearly 5 million.

However, ministers believe it will produce big savings to Britain’s £100 billion benefits bill in the long term. I, for one, agree. The more people working, the shorter time it will take to recover from the recession. 

The new scheme will focus particularly on youth. The number of young people not in employment, education or training  has passed  one million.

Figures show that more than a fifth of 18 to 24-year-olds are not in employment, education or training . 

The Coalition plans a £1 billion package designed to help thousands of youths .

Under the youth jobs initiative, unemployed youngsters will be required to sign a new ‘youth contract’ committing them to accept the offer of a job or work experience.

If they refuse they will have to go on to work activities, or face losing their benefits.

The  work scheme has been placed at job centres all over the country.

The Hypocrisy of Diane Abbott

Hello readers! Here is a new topic called News! This topic will feature some of the news you don't find on the the T.V. You can comment or tell me any requests to research or write about any news! Thanx!

MP Diane Abbott tweeted 'White people love playing divide and rule'. An outrageous statement from someone who has fighted racism and ignored racial differences.
What is Britain coming to?  We now have a group of people, wrongly, allowed to say whatever they want without and what's worse, is that they can get away with it.
Saying that however, I do not think that anyone should be prosecuted for such a statement like as Abbott’s. But I do think she should be judged  harshly as a MP who is supposed to represent everybody,  whatever the differences. 

If any white MP was to make such statements of racism, their careers and their lives would be ruined. If  Diane Abbott had any real interest in racial differences, she should be fighting against this sort of unfairness.

Abbott sets a bad example to other MP's, and what's worse, the public. I hope no one will follow by Abbott's horrible example, as she is a disgrace to the British public.
