Rejected petition Make people on benefits work!

More details

People who claim benefits should be made to work. Any job! Cleaning the streets of graffiti, chewing gum and so on. They should have to earn their free money!
It would be like community service for benefits except you don't get payed if you don't turn up.

They would build up skills required for finding a full time job!
