If your going to do something really unpopular do it over a bank holiday or on April Fools Day.
Honest Dave has taken a swipe at Welfare. With sweeping changes that nobody really quite understands, including the notorious bedroom tax, which again nobody really understands.
The outcome is that the poor get poorer, the safety net established to help the needy now entraps them.
The UK is expecting to pay £115 Billion this year on Welfare and these sweeping changes will go nowhere to touch this.
What needs to be done is to increase the minimum wage to a living wage and actually make people want to work, not that there any jobs available.
Its good to know that IDS can live off £53 / week, which no one else can, unless you are a factory worker in China.
Hat tip to Dave Millipede by the way for resigning at his football club on the arrival of Mr DiCanio, better known for his salutes. And 10/10 for Mr Ba's excellent goal. Bet he doesn't live on £53 a week.
