But that doesn't play well to engendering the false class envy that is Labour's raison d'etre.
That would be a much better solution IMHO too but you're right, that precludes the possibility of conjuring up the false images Labour so often rely upon.

I'm still waiting to hear anyone from Labour admit that their plans for preventing migrants from claiming benefits for a certain period are really only plans to restrict 'out of work' benefits and that the array of 'in work' benefits open to them will remain unchanged. Another deliberate false impression.
