During the second reading of the Welfare Reform Bill, which took place earlier this week, the ‘Labour’ Minister for Workfare and starvation wages James Purnell, indicated that he was prepared to look at a Claimants Charter. My first thought was I bet he did, and anyone who picks up and runs with this should be treated with absolute contempt. It is hardly surprising that charities and NGO's like Disability Alliance, CPAG, Gingerbread and the CAB have responded positively to the wretched Purnell’s offer. For both the Charities and State financed groups like the CAB have grown fat and sleepy on New Labour’s schemes to further pauperize and demonize ‘the underclass.’
Let me be clear here, these people intend to accept workfare without even a whimper and in return for supporting the ‘Labour’ Government’s Welfare Reform Bill, they will continue to have their coffers filled with tax payers coin. Incidentally it cannot be stated enough times that this disgraceful government bill was drafted by one David Freud, a City of London banker and equity asset stripper who recently defected to the Tories.
In return for these charities and NGO’s acquiescing to Purnell and the Tory Freud’s insidious Welfare Reform Bill, those who claim State benefits will be given a useless piece of paper called a Claimants Charter, the only good that can come from this, is if they happen to get caught short, they will have something to wipe their arses on.
Millions of Tax payers pounds have been given by this government to greedy and incompetent bankers; and the very unemployed they and the government helped create, must beg for their dinner. To hell with that.
We must all say No! to Workfare; and these charities if they accept it, let alone help administer it, should be sent to Coventry and treated with the contempt they deserve and told they are not welcome in civilized company. By attempting to fob claimants off with a worthless ‘charter’ these people are just trying to calm their own consciouses, they are well aware of the fact that by accepting workfare, they have betrayed those they claim to represent and the founding principles of an organization like the CAB, which was set up to work alongside their clients not to help penalize them.
Claimants charter my arse. Why would anyone wish to support such a miserable document, it legitimizes the whole wretched business of work-fare. Wake up and smell the coffee, workfare is not about training or getting people into decent jobs etc. If is about driving people off of legitimate State benefits and on to a minimum wage job or worse the soup kitchen.
