(Yay for being 18 and not living in England)
ANYWAY. This is a stupid idea, and I could see how someone brought up on a diet of pheasant and caviar would see it as a good idea "Get the plebs to clean my country up". HOWEVER, Give it to those who deserve it, not just "we'll hand it out to them all" BECAUSE I know with every other government scheme or any would be "enrichment" scheme, the people who they WANT it to effect will be off behind the sheds smoking weed or at home because of one of a million reasons, they "couldn't do it" or "couldn't show up" the rest of us lot who put up with it for an easy life get dragged through all these schemes for no real reason, we've already got perfectly acceptable levels of discipline, morals and principals. For what little attention I payed of the riots it was essentially because some chavs decided to have a crying match and a bit of a tantrum over not having a good life and nice things because they didn't work for it? Make THEM contribute to the society they sponge off. From someone who's aiming high in life, I don't want a significant chunk of my salary supporting a teenage mother of 8, from 8 different "fathers", or some chav who makes more than me thanks to his drug dealing, yet still claims benefits.... Just make the scum who are causing all the problems fix them.
