People vs The Welfare System

It's been a huge debate that has split the country for decades, people who do and don't deserve to claim benefits.

Today Mick Philpott, Mairead Philpott, and Paul Mosely were given their sentences after the deaths of the Philpott's children in a house fire, that they caused.

Mick Philpott has 17 children by five different women, and claimed tens of thousands of pounds, and although it definitely wasn't the cause, nor the reason why he decided to set fire to his house, with his children still inside, it is people like him we need to reign in!

It's people like the Philpott's who abuse the system, and people like them who need to be stopped, they put an unjust stereo type cast over others who are deserved of their benefits.

However, for some reason, people on the left like Owen Jones, Lab MP Tom Watson etc, don't seem to think that these people need to be stopped! And if they do, and I'm not fully understanding their stance on this issue, how would they go about it?

Owen claims there's a was against people claiming from the right. Well I'm not against people claiming benefits, in fact I think it's awful that he doesn't want to get rid of the people who are completely and utterly abusing the system!

Tom and Owen would carry on the New Labour's way of life, who had more people on benefits under their government than any other.

Firstly, benefits are there to help people while they are out of a job, and looking.

Secondly, it's not there as a way of life for people, unless you are disabled, or have a disabled child, family relative who you look after, or are otherwise unable to work.

People like the Philpott's will carry on abusing the system if there are no consequences, there should be a system in place where its either pretty obvious that you are unable to work, or you go through a little process to prove so.

That way we can eliminate these abusers, and the people who need, and rely on the benefits would probably be able to receive a bit more.

I think the left need a long hard look at how many people were on benefits under the last Labour Government, and come up with a solution that would help the deserved, because all they are doing is feeding abusers like Mick Philpott.
