Can you really see that happening? The benefits will be stopped and the people forgotten about
The problem with saying people have to get help for stuff like this (which tbf, they should be getting anyway) is that the help isn't there...and the government dont actually care about helping people, just saving cash. It would cost so much to put all drug addicts etc into rehab. It just would never happen.
If there was a proper system in place it would be fine. As to get the amount of help required, more staff would have to be taken on, more buildings built etc, so a lot of people would get work out of it all too, along with people getting help out of the whole thing. But this is not what IDS and co would do. Stopping more peoples income is the only thing on their minds.
