Hugh,

 

A few weeks ago BBC showed a program saying that there are lots of people in London getting more than £500 a week in benefits. They interviewed a black woman who had a 10 year old daughter but no husband and she received some £850s a week. She was moaning that if she was capped at £500 she would have to move to a cheaper house further out of London and she would not be near her friends, also her daughter would have to change her school and lose her friends. She did not have a job. To buy a house in that district was an astronomical figure. That is why the man asked the question "Why should folk get £500 a week when he worked nearly 40 hours a week for £450"  Naturally the three members of the three parties waffled through there answers trying to please everybody.

 

Malcolm.
