Why would a workhouse need a telephone? Or a front desk?

Claiments of benefits will do a full 6 hour day and 2 hours of job seeking. Failier to show up reduces benefits even if this means hardship. This is the real world! Not benefits is easy street!

I don't think you've really grasped the workhouse concept. It's supposed to be a deterrent, so when you're not sleeping you're working.

Do you really need a workhouse building if people go home at night? But a garden sounds nice.

Lets see how many people are on benefits when they cant sit at home watch tv or go down the pub all day!
And starting with a cap on 26000 pounds benefits WILL happen. If this is not enough move house, change what your spending it on.
I still think tokens and direct payment of bills are the way forward. Cash being limited to very small amounts of the benefit package so limiting waste on items such as beer, cigs, drugs and mars bars!

Yeah, they tried tokens. Only expensive shops like Waitrose and the local Co-op would accept them. It turned out to be a bit discriminatory.
No, I'm not voting Tory again.
