Action DOES NEED to be taken to reduce the UK's preposterous Benefits costs, but this IS NOT the way forward.

I have to agree. These cuts are brutal. I also agree that our benefits are generally preposterous and they need to be sorted to weed out those who've got comfortable sitting at home when they're well able to work. Tax Credits, pensions and disability payments should be out of reach though when it comes to cuts.
