Do the brookings institute do a course in rocket science?

I will give that a miss thankyou Not just the old; there are probably just as many babies, especially premature ones, kept alive artificially when nature would have taken a different course, and statistics show that these will, in most cases, also be a lifelong drain on the NHS from on-going problems . Can't see that one being popular though.

Raw data doesn't give a clear picture when you have housing cost disparities like we do. A small flat in London rents for more than a three bed house in South Wales.

the friction of the deserving poor and the un-deserving poor goes as far back as the Tudor Period. Cardinal Wollsey introducded the law where vagrants could be put in stocks whip or have their noses spit. Some of the unforutnate vagrants were return saliors and soldiers from the wars with france/spain. Not suggesting we go back to those day for a minute only highlighting ever generation deals with problem in thwe way of the period. Clearly the old benefits system was to complicated PIP are an atempt to make for simpler system it will take time for ppl to adjust.

And thence he can ride the system with alacrity.
