Subject: RE: BS: No longer Great Britain?
Could we please give this new government a chance, they are only in office a few months.
They have promised to get young mums off benefits and back to work, they plan to cut housing benefit and assess everyone claiming incapacity benefit, disability living allowance and get more of the long term unemployed back to work.
Labour diddled the figures for years. They kept saying unemployment figures were down, when in fact they weren't, people just signed on sickness benefits as it paid more.
As I said, it's a young government, please give them a chance.
