@KeepRightOnline

Having been through the benefits system TWICE in the past 18 months I can guarantee you they do.

If you are found to have turned down a work which falls under the criteria you specified in your job seekers agreement, you will have your benefits denied.

Similarly if the job centre themselves find you work while you are actively looking and available for work, and you turn it down, for no reason. You will be denied your benefits.

I don't see why left leaners get so riled up about cutting benefits for people who could work but actively don't.

Official figures suggest 2.6M on incapacity benefits. Arguably labour have quite enjoyed massaging these numbers out of the official "unemployed" number. Lets say 1 in 10 could do some work, that's still 260,000 people costing £10kpa? 2-3billion? Christ aren't there jobs at Asda going?

There is such a thing as social care, and it should only go on people incapable of work.

PS to anonymous, while I happen to be a labour/lib dem voter, it's not so much a case of giving extra money to his rich chums. Rather it is sensible allocation of public funds.

It occurs to me that the likes of Will Straw and 'Richard' have never seen the inner workings of or had friends working in a Job Centre. They do NOT already do this. #fact

A wobble. A bubble. An X-factor bounce that will soon vanish.

If this is the case, why the dogwhistle poster?

This will cement the Tory losses.

Nothing on the 'big society'; nothing on a new politics, nothing on change.

Cameron has abandoned the change narrative to Clegg and has gone back to deep blue toryism. As much as you lot might love it, the rest of the electorate don't.

2010-04-20T20:58:15.503+01:00

Ok hands up who think that the Labour party is not a soft touch when giving out benefits ?

This might be government policy but like most other things they talk a good game - but still our soft touch benefits system spews out tax payers money.

Why is it taboo or vile - to even talk about it?

I am sick to the back teeth of seeing lazy good for nothings live the live of riley on my tax and vat!!

More of the same Mr Cameron :)

2010-04-20T20:42:21.866+01:00

Don't we already have JOB SEEKERS allowance, which one loses when one is not SEARCHING (SEEKING) A JOB? This also assumes that people are wilfully jobless, and doesn't recognise that there is perhaps a shortage of jobs in the economy...

Thank heavens for small miracles, I suppose.

P.S. anyone who uses the term "reactionary" seriously is a mong. Small protip for you there.

The promotion of this right wing lie that there are actually huge swathes of people out there who would rather live off of benefits than work shows just how out of touch Tories still are with ordinary people.

This is class warfare against the poor and no different to Old Labour's class warfare against the rich.

They already do! Oh dear another Cameron fail.

It'll lose you votes, but at least you are finally being honest about your policies.

Bizarre. This is existing Government policy.

2010-04-20T17:25:53.250+01:00

1) Vile.

But,

2) At least we're talking about a Tory policy now. Proper campaign, even if it's a disgusting right wing one.

3) And we all know how successful the last reactionary right-wing Tory general election campaign was, don't we? Michael who?

Lets cut benefits so I can give that extra money to me and my posh twats of friends!

2010-04-20T16:31:30.294+01:00

Oh, so Steve Hilton has decided Cameron does need to be a big bad right-winger now that Clegg has stolen the "change" vote.

Too little to late?

What an actual state!
