Overhaul Benefits System to Ensure it is for Essential Living Only

Additional Information

Overhaul benefits systems to ensure it is providing for essential living and not luxuries, such as foreign holidays, mobile phones and satellite and cable tv subscriptions.

Remove passports from any individual receiving Job Seeker's Allowance, Income Support or Disability Allowances. If benefit recipients can somehow afford holidays, they should be taken in the UK to ensure tax funded benefits are directed back into the UK economy.

Inhibit all beneift recipients from subscribing to monthly mobile telephone subscriptions or satellite/cable TV subscriptions. Provide suppliers with a list of benefit recipients and make it illegal, for credit control purposes if nothing else, to ensure benefits are not directed to luxuries not affordable to many on the national average wage.
