I agree with many of the reasons and reforms Ian Duncan Smith is introducing benefit reforms but what the hell does he and the other benefit scroungers, sorry politicians, think they are playing at commisioning oil paintings of themselves at tax payers expense. As if i didnt know !! |

Oill paintings!
You may be unaware, but the Universal Credit System will incur an estimated write-off of around £120 MILLION of public money, thanks to IDS and his cock-eyed 'reforms', and the 'reasons', or to put it bluntly, lies, that he has given as justification for introducing them.
The cost of a few daubs pales into insignificance. |

It just goes into the debt and is not expected to be recouped from any subsequent savings.
In some areas the DWP bill has gone down but Housing Benefit and in work tax credits have gone up. The reforms are about ideology and not saving money.
Look at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation Poverty in the UK reports.

"The biggest welfare cost is the Old Age pension.
But most people receiving that benefit vote, so it's never considered for "reform". "
Absolutely! With the discretionary payments, fuel allowance and attendance allowances it's half the bill.

Indeed, but revision of the 'retirement' age to 68 will mean that pensioners will not be collecting their pensions for long, if at all.
IDS; a return to Victorian values and the Workhouse.
