The Labour leaders of Newcastle, Liverpool and Sheffield - where Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is an MP - wrote to The Observer accusing Whitehall of "Dickensian" views.

Don't say I didn't warn you

Repeatedly, over a number of year....

Yes. just wanted to make sure you were ready for it.

I'd say the unemployed will kick start it first.

Perhaps the councils should use some of their reserves, which have been growing, even during financially restrictive times?

BBC

English councils have increased their reserves by £4.5bn over the last five years to almost £13bn, despite cuts to funding, the Audit Commission has said.

The public spending watchdog found councils had a total of £12.9bn set aside - the equivalent of nearly a third of their spending on services....

....In its report, the Audit Commission found that between 2007 and 2012, 77% of councils in England had increased their reserves relative to their spending and 26% had more than doubled them.

Council reserves grew by 36% in real terms over the five-year period, the watchdog said.

Or we can use some of the money we throw at other countries for our own country.

Society has been split into 2 segments. those who work, and those who don't work.

those who work hate those who don't.
those who don't work, hate those who do.

you have the government who can pick on those who don't work with the backing of those who do work.

bad idea to split the two. because as Harry Hill will say.. FIGHT!!!!

They would fight only on Mondays Wednesdays and on a Saturday if the match is not at home.

Working.

same as a disabled person would fit into the scrounger part. when deciding if they are in need or a scrounger.

this is how the game works. I've been watching.
