Since when have we tried a softy softy approach?

every post shows you more and more out of touch.

The benefit system has used the stick approach as long as I have been alive.

The cost to the taxpayer is almost nothing compared to what the banks have cost us, and also a fraction of tax lost to tax avoidance.
