This new 'Welfare reform' just gets worse & worse and does not PROTECT the genuinely VUNERABLE in society , including children!

Crisis Loans scrapped ... Yes it was abused by SOME but there are GENUINE claimants with REAL crisis who NEEDED that money , it wasn't 'free' you had to pay it back but it helped if or when you had a real emergency which could happen to anyone
Now we got the SHAME factor of having to queue up in a shop with a ''scrounger card'' just to add the kick in the ******* to an already shot to pieces self esteem...
Then we have those who needed a Community Care Grant .... Sent down the furniture projects to fill their homes with other peoples unwanted furniture to make them feel even BETTER about themselves
I happen to know alot about things like bed bugs and they are rife in 2nd hand furniture warehouses so they even get to take home some unwanted visitors for FREE to infest their homes
Things are definitely not on the UP , that's all I can say , and sh*tting on the poor even more than they already are just shoves them further in the mire which is not just poverty but complete annihilation of any shred of self esteem they may have left
Stick 'em in a queue @ a food bank or soup kitchen and see how their self esteem is doing :(
'Inspirational' it's not , punishment it is!! x
''"People who are poorer should be prepared to take the biggest risks; they’ve got least to lose" ( David Anthony Freud- Tory Welfare Reform Minister )
.........Yup , lose your ability to afford to keep warm or eat , lose any shred of self esteem or dignity you may have left and worst of all lose your general , all round HEALTH let alone ANY 'quality of life' ... THANKS Mate!
P.S I used to work in the Social Fund department & yes some used to 'try it' especially around Christmas time but there were many genuine claimants who need the help & I must say I loved my job and seeing the difference it made to peoples lives , the 'have nots' could sometimes have what they needed , even if it meant paying it back at an interest free rate that is far better then the loan sharks or pawn shops!
Some people genuinely hadn't eaten all day & I was there for when a tower block had a gas explosion and the office was filled with kids and parents in their pyjamas ... It was real help in a real emergency and the families were already in shock after the blast and the Post Office staff stayed late to pay everyone their giro's we had issued ..... Where do the helpless go now???
