Rejected petition People on benefits should do community service

More details

I and many others believe that the problem with benefits us that it is purely a handout. The amount of people able to work that don't is shocking, therefore if you collect benefits you should have to do some sort of community service to earn your money, everyone else does, why should they be any different?
