Good evening Fred
Thanks for writing up your thoughts, for saying a little of your background and for being open. You are not much older than myself. In passing, I add that you write more eloquently
I had a good read and will need to have another good read of what you have written. Stopping someones benefits because they refuse to work, would be a retrograde step. I support the arguements you gave. I have met criminals in Africa who do not have a job and who do not receive benefits, as there are no benefits. They are proud of their status earning a living from robbery and crime. True!
Means testing. It is a minefield! I take your point Fred and to some extent it goes on, even though it is resented (Generalisation). I am going to pause here.
