The article sums up by declaring that we are living under a “robber-government”.

Well I can only speak for myself but here goes:Income £280 per month JSA, £220 Housing Benefit, Outgoings: £350 rent = £37-50 per week for food, travel to JCP, job interviews, gas/electric and food. Let’s see if IDS can manage on that!
You mentioned food twice but hopefully people will get the message rather than use that to undermine it.
I think all gouverment should live on Jsa . all of them should sleep rough for a month and live with no money
The hole letter is a load of rubbish…….for starters I was told by a job centre employee and a work coach from Interserver (Flagship work programme) that my JSA is not for living expenses or bills or that kind of thing and that its only provided to me so I may look for work, so essentially I am supposed to be living on nothing but fresh air according to them.
I think a lot of re-training is in order.
