I really do wonder sometimes how much people actually understand about how the new benefit system works these days. Even some of the stuff I read on GC by Quartermoon or whatever his name is often appears as though it lacks understanding.
Rishi says if they refuse work after 12 months their benefit will be stopped, no, if you refuse any job, regardless of time period your benefit is stopped. If people are getting sicknotes or fit for work notes, that means generally they are already employed and dependent on their length of service be claiming sick from their employer, not the state - although I accept with some people it's the opposite, but let's have the full picture.
The only way any people would be swinging the lead is if work coaches are not doing their jobs properly. Most people on Universal Credit are working, there are some aspects that will not be, those would have been previosuly covered off by medical professionals - The Tories created UC ffs.
Then there are some people that can't get the treatment they require because the Tories fooked up the NHS, and it is on it's knees.
I think people seem to be stuck in a timewarp of how benefits use to be abused, and I'm sure there will always be some cases out there, but certainly not to the level that the Tories are trying to claim, except for organised crime, which is nowt to do with most benefit claimants in the true sense of the word..
Let's be honest here, even if every single one of them was swinging the lead (which is not true), you've then got to find employers prepared to take them on, and their disabilites as it all comes part of the package.
I can honestly say, I don't know one single person that is misusing the benefits system, which is a far cry from decades ago, everyone was at it. I can't speak about the taxes element but all of this requires resources.
We don't even have enough doctors and nurses, so where is Sunak going to magic all these medical professionals from, the guy is a fooking idiot. Ah! Unless he already knows the benefit system has these people, and are already accessing people on an annual basis, so he's pretending to create something that already exists!
Did it really require a live broadcast, hmmm, more like a witch hunt.
