Rejected petition Benefits - Food Stamps not Money

More details

Stop paying people on Benefits Money so they can spend it on alcohol and cigerettes, surely giving them food stamps like it used to be would stop them wasting our taxes and make them go out and get a job. Having no money to spend would soon make those people who have been on the dole for years realise to get by in life, you have to work!!
