What needs to happen to our benefits system is a proper test created not by people with economics first and foremost in their minds but by impartial health professionsals truly only interested in finding those fit for work.

This is going to come back to bite everyone forcing sick people to take jobs is going to result in a lot of employers getting very fed up with unreliable workers which a lot of the people taken off sickness will be through no fault of their own. In the future it will make it that much harder for those of us who might get a cure or better treatment to get a job it is extremely short sighted. I voted for the torys at the last election i knew we couldn't afford to let labour back and although not wholly trusting of all that was being said to get our votes i never thought 99% of it would vanish when they got into power.

We need sensible people to sit down and work out the best practical way forward in many areas the welfare system being one of the biggies and we do not have that right now. I think the speed of all these reforms is because this is a government that knows it will only get the one term to do it and they want to do as much as they can regardless of the damage it will do. This whole process of reform in this country is not just affecting individuals or even singular groups it is changing attitudes in everyone. You only have to look on here to see the rising anger of some to the benefit system and some of the extreme suggestions being proposed for those on beefit to see we as a country are becoming more hateful and resentful.

Thats also a deliberate policy pushed by those who for years have had an agenda to get us at each others throats and now they have.


Reform is essential - wholesale decimation is not.
