Aha, the #Tories are exploring ways of cutting non-pension #benefits in the run up to the next #election to give #JeremyHunt the fiscal headroom to cut #taxes.
For anyone who has ever argued that #voting has little effect, the higher incidence of voting among pensioners seems to give them a degree of 'protection' unavailable to other classes of people in need of state support;
and don't forget, the #tripplelock will ensure state pension rises will nearly match #inflation, unlike most #wages

Lets put some things in perspective shall we this morning;
Despite the shrill media coverage & #Tories policy actions, #benefits #fraud is not a major social problem....
The avoidance, evasion & non-collection of #taxes is where the drain from the 'public purse' is much more notable.
What might be done?
a. Simplfy the #tax system to remove opportunities to game the system;
b. Increase investment in HMRC enforcement capabilities...

@Frances_Coppola “debunking Fraser Nelson's recent tweet and articles.
Welfare benefits are not "the biggest scandal in politics". The right-wing press misrepresenting facts and misusing statistics in pursuit of their political agenda is.”

Wenn man an dem Punkt ist,
- dass man mehr #gehalt sowie andere „tolle“ #benefits ablehnen würde und stattdessen lieber einfach mehr #Zeit zum #durchatmen hätte
- dass man die anfänglich so flexibel klingende #Vertrauensarbeitszeit als #Überstundenfalle interpretiert,
- dass man über #Teilzeitmodell oder #downsizing nachdenkt, aber schon weiß, dass es nicht so einfach möglich sein wird,
dann weiß man, wie es mir grad geht - und es fühlt sich echt nicht gut an 😥

as a former museum worker, i totally understand this
Cultural workers have long been told that the prestige of working in museums & galleries makes up for their low #wages & lack of #benefits. They have had enough.

Another case of the #privatesector seeing the #publicsector as a key market for #services... in this case peddling the comms, but incorrect notion that #benefits #fraud is a major problem .... it isn't!
Some years ago Kevin Farnsworth coined the term 'corporate welfare' for the range of interactions between firms & Govt. departments, often ensuring such firms were partly shielded from the more difficult & competitive markets they normally work in....

The latest efforts by US tech firm Palantir to mine our data in the UK are reported here, this time by canvassing new ways to target benefit fraud. (Of course, Palantir & its owner Peter Thiel aren't interested in the much bigger savings to be made by identifying tax avoidance and evasion).
"The US tech firm Palantir lobbied the UK disabilities minister to adopt new technology to crack down on benefits fraud"

"An Accounting for Religion"
On balance the harms of religion seem to outweigh the benefits. No matter the divine inspiration, religions are human organizations prone to human failures. If your religious belief is transactional, there’s no guarantee for your purchase and no safeguards against fraud or error. You have to take it on faith. Like Groucho Marx, it’s a club I’ve resigned from.
