I don't disagree with that one bit, and I agree the previous government made it too easy to claim some benefits and it should be more stringent.

They could start by getting their own house in order though, by stopping Job Seekers if you don't stick a job for a particular time.

A lad who my mate at work knows, was on JSA and was placed in 2 different jobs in the space of 2 weeks, due to his laziness (he stuck one for all of an hour before walking out), but they still put him back on JSA after that, which IMO is wrong! He is AFAIK still on JSA and not actively looking for work!

Commuting a little isn't an issue, but an hour on the bus, at quite a chunk of cash, would put people off.
