Rejected petition Make people on benefits do charity work

More details

There are many cases when people are forced to take benefits even if they'd rather be out working, but there are far too many instances where people are doing absolutely nothing but use tax payers money- no wonder the government is in so much debt. Society would be a better place if those taking benefits or "dolites" had to do 16 hours of charity work each week.
