I agree with the majority of what has been said. There's no point trying to slash a few million in cuts on community projects when the government is wading into yet another war that has nothing to do with them. There needs to be crackdowns on benefits. There needs to be some sort of scheme where people have to earn their benefits - many single mums come into the cafe where I work, every day and spend a fortune on food and drink because they have nothing else to do but spend their benefits whilst waiting for their child to finish school. Could the government not be taking advantage of this school time and saying to these people that they must take part in some sort of community service, doing things that the government would otherwise be paying people to do. After a while people will start to realise that they would be better off doing the same amount of hours a week in an actual job and I think people will start to realise that they can't get everything in life for free.
