Thread Name: BS: Is George Osborne Brainless?
Subject: RE: BS: Is George Osborne Brainless?
Quoting from Osborne himself:

"This is a fight. We are really going to go after the welfare cheats. Frankly, a welfare cheat is no different from someone who comes up and robs you in the street."   Source New Statesman.

and referring back to my original statement:

my question is what guarantee is DWP prepared to make to ensure that those that lose benefits will not rob people in the street to make up for loss in benefits. My line comes from someone who has been mugged 5 times, one time having my face kicked.

It is all very well for those who are driven around in the chauffeur driven limos.

And my other question is what safeguards will be put in place for the children of those that have benefits stopped?
