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.

The Government has been accused of being "callous" after announcing that hundreds more disabled workers at Remploy factories are at risk of losing their jobs under fresh closure plans.

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 ?
