I am a great admirer of Ian Duncan Smith. He has done some wonderful work in his "Once-in-a-generation" welfare reform package.

As he so rightly pointed out, "Thanks to years of Labour incompetence people are now better off claiming benefits rather than working in a job paying £15,000 a year or less".

He also said "Those who come from a family living off benefits are most likely to claim benefits also as all you can see when you think about work is risk". How very true Ian.

Ian used a great term when he described scroungers on incapacity benefit, He said they are "parked" there. Well part of Ian's plan is to call the buff of whose 2.5 million recipients, they face a strict status review in the coming months, so now is the time to blow the whistle on those you know that are fit and able to do a days work. Yes hard to believe 2.5 million, most of them living in housing estates or ghettos.

These type of people basically get parked on this benefit and forgotten about. Those that have been on this benefit for more than two years, are likely to die on it !

If you want true facts, read the recent Government report that shows that 1.4 million people in the UK have been on state handout benefits for nine or more of the last 10 years.It also reveals that income inequality in the UK is now at its highest level since comparable statistics began in 1961.

The research shows that social mobility in Britain is worse than in the USA, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Canada, Finland and Denmark, and a higher proportion of children grow up in workless households in the UK than in any other EU country.

The proportion of people parked on inactive benefits has almost tripled in the past 30 years to 41% of the inactive working age population. As Ian said, "We must not underestimate the challenge ahead. One of the biggest problems is that for too many people think work simply does not pay."

These are the facts, like them or not, dislike Ian if you like, but you are just going to have to swallow your medicine, he's in the job, Labour failed drastically and we now have a new government that favours those with principles that work for a living and will come down hard on loafers, layabouts, con artists and young girls that think society owes them a debt for their promiscuous lifestyles, some inherited from their mothers.
