SIR – The Government labels benefit claimants as “workshy”
and the media calls them “scroungers”.
However, there is clear evidence that there are not enough jobs – only 450,000 vacancies yet nearly 2.5 million unemployed.
The Government is making £18 million cuts in welfare, yet £25 billion in tax is avoided by extremely wealthy individuals and big business.
It has also been revealed recently that David Cameron spent £680,000 of taxpayers’ money renovating Downing Street in the year that the Government has inflicted the biggest ever spending cuts across the public sector.
