I actually think they are good if it means it can make it more affordable for people to actually work rather than the alternative....which they would be slated for.
It's also a very slippery slope when people in certain circumstances are judged for which shops they go in to. I personally wouldn't like to see a society where we say......you are on benefits, you can't go into a designer shop :eek:
My cleaning lady.....who is an 'immigrant' by the way. Works 2 jobs, has 2 very young kids and gets tax credits. It means she can work part time and still be there to look after the kids when needed. She's also just started studying for a degree, which she's paying for herself. She doesn't claim any other benefits. Some people come here for a vastly better life and as such are prepared to work hard for it.
My cleaning lady has a degree already but had to come back to live with her mum after uni as couldn't get a job in her field. She cleaner a b and b every morning and works in a bar every night. Now house cleaning to get some savings and pay her uni debt back. Yes she is a white British female, does that surprise anyone?
She is lovely, her cleaning isn't 100% perfect but I like her and really admire her determination to work.
