The Work and Pensions Secretary will this week unveil government plans to help the long-term unemployed get back into the work ethic by obliging them to do four-week programmes of compulsory community work.
In heavily-leaked interviews and newspaper articles, the government also plans to apply sanctions against benefit claimants who do not use the available support to find employment.
The majority of the people in this country would, I think, support any scheme to reduce unemployment along with the high cost of benefit payments to folk who do not want to work when it is available.
But, of course, those who are work-shy may not be among them!
