Freud - another shocking statement.

Postby newshound » Fri Aug 28, 2009 11:30 pm

I recently came across this shocking article online.

Attributed to David Freud (the tory shadow minister for works and pensions, and formerly under labour he wrote the welfare reform paper) are the following statements.

What lessons have been learned over the past 11 years?
That the focus ought to be on the 3 million on Incapacity Benefit not the 250,000 difficult cases on Jobseeker's Allowance.


and this shocker

What is the single most important policy that is needed?
To reactivate people on Incapacity Benefit and not allow a place for people where they're expected to be out of the labour market.


So he wants NO ONE on incapacity benefit to be exempted for looking for work?

People on incapacity benefit are on the benefit because they cant work.... What is he thinking?
