The Great Government Work Programme Scam.

This is how it works.

 A person is placed with an employment company on the Back to Work programme. The company receives a small initial payment. An advisor tries to persuade the person that self employment is a good idea, even though the person has no business ideas, no suitable skills or no genuine possible opportunity to generate an income. The advisor suggests baking cakes, ironing or maybe selling things on e-bay and tells the person that by going self employed they can claim up to 30hrs in Working Tax Credits which will be more than they receive on Jobseekers Allowance, that they will probably have to work no more than 10 hours a week, and they will no longer have to sign on every two weeks at the Jobcentre.

The person signs off and declares themselves self employed.

The Company receives a whacking great commission and the advisor gets to ring a bell and receive a bonus.

The newly self employed person struggles along without any support, fails to maintain any proof of income or work patterns and is eventually told by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs that they have been fraudulently claiming benefits and that they are required to pay back thousands of pounds.

 Meanwhile, in Westminster, Tory’s boast about there being more new business start-ups than ever and that the number of people claiming JSA has dropped.

 In the real world, people cannot understand how jobless figures are supposedly dropping, but the economy continues to plummet and borrowing continues to rise.

As the newly self employed person is now receiving more in Working Tax Credits than they did when receiving Jobseekers Allowance the welfare bill continues to rise.

Cameron, Osborne and the Tory’s continue to bang on about how high the welfare bill is, but lie through omission by failing to point out that 90% of the welfare bill is actually paid to pensioners in the form of pensions and pension credits, Child benefit, people with severe disabilities and to people claiming Working Tax Credits and that Jobseekers Allowance and Housing Benefit form a very small percentage of the welfare bill.

The general public are too stupid to work the facts out for themselves and in the same way Germans enjoyed persecuting Jews, the British Public also enjoy persecuting vulnerable members of society who cannot fight back. It gives them a sense of power that is otherwise missing from their sad, pathetic and mundane, pointless lives.

The end results are more Tory’s lies about a failing economy and jobless figures, company’s involved in the Workfare Programme receiving millions in tax payers money ,becoming very rich and funneling some of the money back into Conservative party coffers in the form of donations while the nation becomes poorer, lives are destroyed, and people who are genuinely trying to run their own business are stigmatised because of corrupt practices being utilised in the implementation of Workfare Programmes and politicians.

There you have it. Businesses and politicians colluding to feather their own nests, they distort the truth and lie at the expense of you and me.

Take a step back. Look at the politicians currently involved in running this country. Close your eyes and try to imagine what type of world you think they are creating for your grandchildren.

Are you scared at what you see, you should be. Or don’t you really care.

I think I already know the answer.

Mugs!
