"Universal Credit 'could cost more than current benefits system' Can't these cretins who presume to govern us get anything right ffs? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-44468437
The fact is the UK is going to have to deal with some substantial benefit cuts in the future. Over the last 20 years they've added too many people (who came from other parts of the world) to the rolls. It will keep on decreasing until it's barely anything. That's the way it is in many other countries in the world. Just like all the immigrants coming from other parts of the world, people in the UK are going to have to adapt to gain stronger family support structures, and being willing to sometimes live in close quarters with extended family members.
About 4 years ago, having heard the latest immigration figures were around three million (and counting! ), I recollect thinking how unwise it was, without first having made arrangements for proper housing, and by extending the social and public health services, ready to cope with that number.
