Its never been about sorting the scroungers out, its been about punishing the poor for being poor and finding a headline grabber to keep people from talking about the real problems in this country. Its a ****ing disgrace. I remember posting on here once about a friend (not sure if I posted on here or DS) who was sanctioned for taking her kid to hospital and missing a jobcentre appointment, even though she rang them as soon as was possible to let them know what had happened.
Sanction targets are a disgrace. How can you set a target when the sanction is supposed to only apply to people who are taking the piss?
