I think incentives are best matched to individuals and their particular issues. A blanket reduction of income would hit guilty and innocent alike. Surely the welfare paid out is simply what is needed anyway, so a reduction will cause hardship. In any case there are plenty of non health impaired folk out of work that could be helped to find a job first. I think this seems a sledgehammer swung wildly in the hope of cracking the odd nut. The bish is probably right to comment.

man in ridiculous outfit who believes in an omnipotent creator being speaks on mental health. Mmm.

The answer of course is let them suffer more & then some of the more desperate will take their own lives & be out of it & the government will then of course save more money. Well done Mr Cameron & your splendid Tory colleagues. ( Are there no workhouses, are there no prisons ? )
