Rejected petition Scrap cash payments to benefit claimants, and replace with food vouchers.

More details

I work in a betting shop, and everyday I see individuals spending large amounts of money on Gambling. The individuals in Question are people who claim benefits and waste their money on things that some hard working people cannot do. I propose that individuals who receive benefits are given vouchers to spend in Supermarkets, so that they cannot waste their money on Gambling, drinking and drugs.
