The Benefits of Hindsight

So, any chance that the Coalition will denounce the Prime Minister who, as part of her invention of mass benefit dependency, created the Housing Benefit racket while also compelling the State to make gifts of significant capital assets to people who were thus enabled to enter the property market ahead of private tenants who had saved for their deposits? Any chance that the Coalition will revert to the vastly less expensive maintenance of a stock of council housing?

Thatcher also created Incapacity Benefit, which, like Disability Living Allowance, the preposterous Osborne creature seems to imagine is available on demand to anyone who might happen to feel like it. You already need professional medical approval, you ridiculous little man. Any chance that you, or preferably a competent person, might do something about the number of people who are manifestly, demonstrably unfit for work?
