"...it's the way I've been brought up to..... spend my benefits on what I'm used to..." Daybreak interview with Tracey MacDonald. (0.50secs) Dragging up people like this really does not help the debate in my opinion.....

All lot of people slagging off the government for cutting benefits, and UKIP for not having any policies on welfare. So what about Labour? What is their position on benefits? They're quite happy to slag off the government, but as usual Millipede and Bully Boy Balls arn't offering any alternatives or solutions....

I for one applaud the government for at least trying to break the dependency culture/cycle that Labour created whilst in government and I was saddened by reports a few days ago that IDS has given up trying to reduce spending on welfare and will try to manage it instead.

If they and future governments give up trying to get people off benefits and into work, then we will have many more lost generations of youngsters....
