I think I could have told them that.
A few weeks ago I received 4 identical letters from the Dept of Work and Pensions!

And I have just been commissioned to do a project which is exactly the same project I did two years ago. I am not inclined to tell them though eveilgrin:

I have to say that what is p*ssing me off is the daily drip, drip of information ..... I reckon it will all turn out to be a bit of a damp squib .... so that Osborne can get away with saying "See it wasn't so bad after all.
The whole country is now up in arms defending their own little corner and suggesting that the axe should fall on other people.
Getting a third of all people on benefits into work cannot be made to happen without investment in new jobs. There simply aren't enough vacancies for everyone who wants to work.
My suggestion ~ build nuclear power stations and stop buggering about with windmills that are never going to supply enough power, no matter how many they build. The costs, over the next twenty years, of trying to fulfil Junior Millipede's ambitious and flawed plans would cover the deficit and still leave us with enough change to buy a chip supper each.

Oh yes, going nuclear will save all kinds of expensive and useless eco-shite. CHrist, there's so much nuclear waste already that a bit more will make no difference. I see the Met Police propose saving money by, um, lacing themselves beyond the law and the wretched BBC is up in arms about benefit cuts.
Did anyone else hear the astonishing news, unremarked on in WOrld at One, that you get two points towards incapacity benefit if you have to have a drink before noon!!! WHat kind of madness is that?

I shall be interested in hearing just how they plan to find an employer willing to take on a person of sixty three and a half who has a terminal heart condition, diabetes, an implanted defibrillator and who cannot walk further than 50 yards without assistance, cannot climb stairs, cannot lift anything, suffers from agoraphobia and frequently has to be taken into hospital with blue lights flashing to be "stabilised" with oxygen and drugs.
It just ain't going to happen.

Just make sure you admit to having voddy for breakfast. That gets you POINTS!!! cussing:

The stupid part about it is they plan to assess (re-assess) everyone with silly tests evaluated by numbskulls from the Job Centres or Private Contractors from the likes of Crapita! Bugger what the doctors say. Fools! They will be swamped with appeals against their decisions. My GP says "Don't worry about it .... there is no employer on earth that will offer you a job so just
jump fall through their hoops and they'll give up".
