Mentre gli operai sono al lavoro per sostituire le vetrine del grattacielo di Millbank, sede dei Tory, distrutte mercoledì da centinaia di studenti infuriati per i tagli all'università, il governo Cameron procede nella sua campagna di lacrime e sangue. Questa volta l'accetta cala sul welfare, per cui l'esecutivo liberal-conservatore Serbia has a "historic reform", made up of close to the budget for social spending and exemplary punishment against the unemployed "freeloaders."
The plan presented yesterday by Welfare Minister Ian Duncan Smith to the Commons, promises a future nightmare for the 5 million Britons who receive subsidies of various kinds, from those for unemployment, with those for disease and disability. The reform which should come into force in 2013, provides first to bring together the various subsidies that is currently in one "universal credit." According to this measure would allow the government to avoid administrative errors and fraud by citizens.
Ian Duncan Smith said he was convinced that many remain unemployed to do so because it suits his work, thanks to the lavish subsidies they receive. "I want these people recover," said the minister, promising that henceforth 'agree more and more work. " To eliminate the "benefits trap", which would slow down the million and a half of Britons who have never worked in the last nine years, Ian Duncan Smith provides draconian punishments. After two refusals to vacancies or requests for help to work for the community (similar to
our work), unemployment benefits will be suspended for six months. And if you say no a third time, the unemployment benefit will be canceled for three years.
The spirit of reform welfare proposed by Ian Duncan Smith sounds very punitive in times of unemployment through the roof. The counsel of the minister of welfare goes perfectly with the propaganda campaign launched by the government in recent months against the "undeserving poor." "Freeloaders" who are now held up by the right as the real culprits of the economic crisis and the collapse of public finances. More than the "greedy bankers" of the City, against whom a few months ago was concentrated hatred of the people.
With this reform the government scheme aims to save 5 billion pounds. But for non-governativei savings in the budget will be at the expense of vulnerable families, who often live in areas where it is practically impossible to find work. Kate Wavering, director of the campaign against poverty by the NGO Oxfam "remove subsidies and let people with no income will cause severe suffering for them and their families. The majority of people who live on social welfare want to work, and punish them as if they were criminals
is the right way to treat them. "
