Rejected petition Working for Benefits
More details
Benefits are not a right .. they are a privilege. Those on benefits are being paid by the State and should pay back by working for their local communities. This should be a condition of benefits awards. It would give people a sense of purpose and enable them to contribute to society. It would also provide them with skills which, in turn, would assist them to gain future employment.
