EMPLOYMENT Minister Chris Grayling says that people on sickness benefit will be tested from April to see if they can work.
That’s a laugh; work where? Every day we read of job losses – with police numbers to be slashed and thousands to lose their jobs in the NHS, besides the many thousands who are already unemployed.
Chris Grayling knows that there’s no work out there but he has to say something to justify his job.
How much is it going to cost to test everyone on the sick?
The Government doesn’t seem to worry about spending taxpayers’ money on fruitless projects, however.
