IDS confirms: IT IS WORKFARE!

On the Andrew Marr show on BBC  IDS was speaking about the Poundland case in which Cait Reilly was forced to work in a Poundland store for two weeks and thus had to abandon a voluntary position at a museum. During the interview he said:

‘She was paid jobseeker’s allowance by the taxpayer to do this.’

thereby confirming what most had known all along that, far from being an individually-tailored training scheme, the Work programme is nothing other than Workfare in which the benificiaries are the companies who get a free workforce at taxpayer expense.
