THE scandal of Britain’s out-of-control benefits system is dramatically exposed today in a report showing it doles out more in a key welfare payment than almost any other country.

three quarters of new incapacity benefits claimants can work.

It's a shame that the Remploy factories are closing in a previous life I used to have dealings with them tbh though they've been in decline for years I saw in the late 1990's the effect Govt (Labour) Defence cutbacks were having on some of them.

Interesting that your quote comes from the Liverpool Echo Joe - I know that there are very high ratios of public sector workers in their catchment, I wonder if the same goes for fraudulent benefit claimants ?
