- Sanctions statistics - they're not going to publish themToday was supposed to be the day the updated stats for JSA sanctions were published. But the DWP has decided not to publish them. In an announcement the DWP said that there were "significant doubts around the quality of the statistics relating to the new regime". So they're going to work on them and publish them at some point in the future. […]
Boycott Workfare
- Government must reveal workfare exploiters!Some great news: The government has lost its appeal and must reveal the organisations that have used Mandatory Work Activity, Work Experience, and Work Programme placements. That means we’re going to be able to show those organisations what we think of them profiting from free labour! The evidence the government submitted reveals what a huge [...]
- Three protesters infiltrate conference to disrupt Hoban’s speechOn 16th May, three protesters sneaked into an industry conference to make sure employment minister Mark Hoban’s lies didn’t go unchallenged. In the week where it was revealed that he has profited over £100,000 from the sale of his taxpayer-funded second home, we thought we should remind him about the £130 million he robbed from [...]

im in 2 minds about that,cos 1 can shame the young who are fit to work but dont wish to who bum of the system,and 2 some of us cant work due to health reasons.
What “health reason” have you got, Karen? “Depression”, “stress”, “bad-back”. Shame on you displaying such a nazi-esque contemptible, sneering attitude towards our young folk. How old are you, Karen if you don’t mind me asking. Because you sound like a right old Nazi, Daily Heil reader who gets off on inflicting misery of others especially the young – don’t you just hate those pretty young girls, Karen – you will never be young again, Karen. And all along you are happy to sit on your lazy, sponging arse claiming for all your imaginary ailments, DLA, housing, prescriptions, free cars, free this and that that us hard-working taxpayers toil to provide. I know your type, Karen – you are beneath contempt. I really don’t like saying this, but I sincerely hope ATOS f*ucks you over royally.

The work-to-welfare president
Romney and Obama clash over a requirement to work for checks
President Obama keeps doing an end run around Congress to enact his liberal policies. His dictatorial move to end the work requirement for welfare recipients isn’t going unchallenged. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has made the issue central to the campaign, which has thrown Mr. Obama back on his heels.
Mr. Romney has been hammering the point continually this week. On Tuesday, the campaign started airing a TV ad called “Right Choice” which has a narrator saying, “In 1996, President Clinton and a bipartisan Congress helped end welfare as we know it. By requiring work for welfare. But on July 12th, President Obama quietly announced a plan to gut welfare reform by dropping work requirements. Under Obama’s plan, you wouldn’t have to work and wouldn’t have to train for a job. They just send you your welfare check.”
In Iowa on Wednesday, Mr. Romney said, “When I was serving as governor, my legislature passed a bill that would have taken out some of the work requirements. I vetoed it. Then I went to work to try and extend and to improve and to require even more work requirements because I want more people working if they’re going to receive government assistance.” The former Massachusetts governor promised that if elected, he will restore the work requirement.
The Obama campaign spun into full-defense mode, putting out 12 statements in two days about the welfare attacks. In response to the Republican TV ad, Democrats released a web-only video called “Dubious” with a voiceover claiming, “Romney, flexible on welfare and the truth.”
The campaign also orchestrated a statement from Mr. Clinton defending the current president’s policy by attempting to clarify that, “waivers will be granted only if a state can demonstrate that more people will be moved into work under its new approach.” No one denied that states could let people off the hook for working for their checks under these new Health and Human Services guidelines.
Ted Cruz, the Tea Party favorite who last week won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Texas, told reporters on Tuesday, “This is unfortunately an election-year decision by the president that is pleasing to some of the political ideologues in his party but is sacrificing the welfare of those most vulnerable in society in order to gain a political advantage for President Obama.”
Newt Gingrich, who as House speaker negotiated the changes to Temporary Assistance for Needy Families with Mr. Clinton, stated on CNN Wednesday, “Obama does not have the authority to waive this requirement.”
Mr. Obama’s political calculation is to guarantee the votes of those on government assistance, institute his liberal policies while in power and bolster his theme that Mr. Romney only cares about the rich. However, he’s on the wrong side of the electorate. A Rasmussen poll taken a week after the policy change in July showed that 83 percent of Americans favor a work requirement for welfare recipients.
The welfare-to-work concept moved America away from a permanent dependency class, but Obama profligacy has kept unemployment stuck above 8 percent during his White House stay. This new backward policy clarifies that Mr. Obama’s presidency is really about moving millions from work to welfare.
