Rejected petition 'lifestyle subsidy' George Osborne.

More details

Stop the Government smearing human beings who receive welfare payments linking them to the horrendous crimes committed by the recently sentanced Phillpotts.

George Osborne has said that a debate was needed about whether the state should "subsidise lifestyles like that".

The chancellor has previously complained about those who lie in "sleeping off a life on benefits".

I object to being smeared by the Government and linking people on benefit with a life of crime.
