Simple,,set the dole money at £5 a day in money and the same in food vouchers, for the first six months then it is lowered, each six months until no actual money is paid out.
Stop any payments to non uk residents, make people on incapacity benefit sign on like everyone else claiming benefits also randon visits to incapacity claimants and on the spot medical tests,,no benefits to be paid to non uk nationals unless they have paid uk taxes for at least three years.
The simple thing is,,people will work if you force them.

Another benefit that is out of control is child benefit,,why the hell does the state pay people to have kids,this makes no sense to me, surely if you are going to have kids it out of love and you should not gain financially,cut child benefit to the first two kids only,,after that its your choice to have more than two but dont expect the state to pay for them.
Child benefit in my eyes should be cut to one child within five years then to nil in ten years.

ummmm,,if you can not afford to pay for your own off spring you should not have them.
Sorry but the simple truth is Britain has become a pop em out nation,,the more kids you have the more benefits you can claim and i feel this has got to stop.
Also i do not believe that the majority of child benefit claiments actually use the money for the benefit of there kids.

In my situation....ran my own business with my partner, had three kids with plenty of money to spare. Decided I had to leave him because of violence and infidelity. Got another job but now as a single parent money is tight. I couldn't have predicted that happening. Child benefit was always spent on food.
But if you have been 'forced' into a job and you *still* can't make ends meet, where do you go from there ?
Don't get me wrong, my first job was in the Supplementary Benefits dept of what was then DHSS so I know the scams, etc.
However, I believe that in the last 26 years (since I started there) the 'dole' for a single person has increased by about £ 20 per week !!!!
My joining salary was £ 4002...............I bet *that* has gone up substantially more in comparison ?!?
