DOES the Government honestly believe that an employer is going to give a sick or disabled person a job? An employer has to make a living and needs a healthy workforce.
Jobs are thin on the ground and there is a huge workforce available to pick and choose from. A sick or disabled person, through no fault of their own, is a potential liability.
The Government is cowardly in targeting (apart from the aged) the most vulnerable in our society and trying to claw back as much money from them as they can.
The people of this country united together to throw out the poll tax.
They should unite again and votes these bandits out.
