Lefkosia, the package is indeed unprecedented and made by a AAA Tory Government.
Somewhat unfairly, those that have been cheating the system will still be able to access Universal Credit.
That strikes me as being more than fair, if you are not prepared to contribute to the PAYE scheme, then you are not entitled to benefit from the rewards that it offers. Nor will they contribute towards National Insurance credits towards their Old Age Pensions, unless of course they are double cheating the system by claiming Unemployment Benefits, in which case they should be rewarded with a fine or free Board and Lodging at Her Majesty's Pleasure.
