Shirkers Beware!

I just had to write about this as it is one of those things you’re not sure you should mention.

I was in meeting this morning, and a woman from the Job Centre was updating everyone on changes in approach to giving out benefits, particularly for incapacity benefit, which is going to changed over the next couple of years to make it nigh impossible for people who are sick or disabled to avoid getting a damn job. Anyway, they have a saying in the jobcentre which is part of the Department for Work and Pensions and thus by default beholden to Our Glorious Leader (sic) which is ‘work is the best form of welfare’.

Well, call me cynical, but doesn’t that sound a bit like ‘Arbeit Mach Frei’?
Now who was it said that…..?
