This is part of the slow roll-out of their master-plan to get the IB people back to work. But they go at it fairly cautiously...

Would they just chuck people out there with no means of support? If they thought they could get away with it. But paying IB sweeps everything neatly under the carpet. And the capitalists don't need the "native" underclass, they've got all the immigrants they want, young guys who'll shut up, knuckle under and do the job with no nonsense about social benefits. Globalisation works in a number of wonderful ways.

During the 1980's I lived in a steel town while the furnaces and works were being reduced to scrap metal and rubble. The ammount of times the DHSS tried to strong-arm me into getting my doctor to sign me off on the sick was untrue. I remember at the time, it was reckoned that at least 1.5 million people had been moved over out of the unemployment rolls in the UK.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Not a bug, a feature.
