LONDON (AFP) – The coalition unveiled plans Thursday to stop handouts for up to three years to jobless who refuse work, in the biggest shake-up in the history of the welfare state, a day after violent protests rocked London.

The government also plans a "universal credit" instead of the current complex system of separate benefit payments as part of reforms aimed at cutting Britain's huge deficit.

The announcement came a day after university students stormed the headquarters of the Conservative party during a march against plans to hike tuition fees, in the first sign of public anger against the austerity drive.

1. On the topic of people that refuse to work.

When multi millionaires find a way to defend the allocation of money to them by the system
Then there is an argument that people have to work for money.

Until then, their is no argument for that.

However I understand the concept.


Side note, I am still due money for beer and travel, and many experiences.
