ORIGINAL: Ninebelowzero once upon a time you had to take a job or lose benefit payments, I suspect that was stopped a long time ago by stealth. I'm pretty sure that to bring it back would require the 'uman rites akt to be repealed or there would be an army of leeches, sorry lawyers queueing up to post litigation. For Christ's sake, Niney, don't you get it? It has nothing to do with the Human Rights Act. It has to do with what people are brought up to believe they deserve, *can* do, and *get away with*. You can't instill Victorian morality nowadays. It simply won't happen. This isn't about hard and stern Tories versus limp-wristed, corduroy-wearing liberals who are 'full of concern'. It's solely about what is, and is not, realistic. People are brought up to believe that their cars, 32" TFT screens and bloody jacuzzis are theirs as of right. They just *will* go to get them by fair means or foul.
