Britain's welfare system has created social apartheid with endemic unemployment
The old approach to poverty and work – the passive "let them eat tax credits" approach – was a calamitous failure, the scale of which is still not properly appreciated. Under the Labour Government's 13 year rule, the unemployed were left undisturbed, as ministers avoided the bad headlines that always accompany any serious attempt to move people back into work. In the USA they would call this (getting people off 'behefits') tampering with the 'third rail', ie it's deadly.

The Labour party’s record speaks for itself: at no time during the boom did the total on out-of-work benefits fall below four million
Yet ror all Britain’s economic woes, there are still enough jobs for the immigrants who are settling here at a rate of 1,400 a day. Indeed, David Cameron can certainly claim that, since he came to power, there are 236,000 more jobs for those of working age. But what the Prime Minister won’t tell you is that this is entirely accounted for by a rise in foreign-born workers. The number of UK-born people in work is falling. But the losers are undoubtedly those Brits' who must now compete with these industrious immigrants for jobs
The failure of the last abour government means that today, 300,000 children are growing up in households where no one has ever had a job.
