    How do I get housing benefit? LOL You have NO CLUE as you assume this is what everyone gets and it is NOT!!

    You want to look up maybe on Shelter.org as to who can atually get these benefits.

    I look forward to proposals to do the same for state pensions. Then we can extend it the disabled. Then to public employees.

    Ok Paranoid moment over.

    Maybe it would be more constructive if the Government incentivised firms to provide goods at a discount for the unemployed rather than stigmatising them and monitoring their spending habits.
