Petition Make people who claim benefits do voluntary work/work alongside local council

If people who claim benefits are able to work then they should be made to do something for their money. Why should they sit at home and get money when people go out and work hard and long days for their money? Why should they get it just handed to them and get the easy life without working?

There routine is get up go to work come in have tea go to bed. The employed don't have time to sit and spend time to themselves because they work for what they have.
