If only 0.006% care about BLOOD-SOAKED METAL ... why are we spending all this cash?

We *have* modern day slavery in the UK, courtesy of Iain Duncan Smith. It's his "workfare" scheme.

Read this Guardian article (yes, it's from Tim Worstall's favorite newspaper!) about a guy who had worked for a Recycling company and got the minimum wage three years ago, but now the DWP has told him he's got to work there again, just to get his benefits.

In other words, he'd be doing the same job, they'd be getting the same labour, but he would *ONLY* be getting Benefits, not even the minimum wage!

He refused, so they said "Fine, you're turning down a job, we'll sanction your benefits".

Nice people...
