good for headlines, but the decision has no common sense.
Almost every day and pretty much every week there is news on some kind of crackdown on benefits from the tories, they are obssessed with benefits.
Nearly every decision they have made shows they are completely out of touch and only serve the rich and those working.
This one is very extremely obvious it will make an increase in crime, £25 a week is a big dent of a benefit like JSA.
Its a benefit cut disguised, and why should crime only pay if the person is on benefits? whats with the specific targeting of a group for crime. If he wants to be tough jail time or similiar punishments are better,. not financial.

Or do you think they should be paid a benefit they are not entitled to.

Given that the government expect people in low employment areas to move house to work, to forbid people looking for work in other cities would be counter productive. Of coruse people can be in a different city when on JSA. What you suggesting is ludicrious. Also one doesnt have to be looking for work all day every day, there is only so much can do. Of course if they doing nothing at all looking for work you have a point, but you dont know what they doing in that regards.
Also just watched that video clip he referes to "normal people" thinking it not enough, he is even stereotyping claimants now.
