Welfare State
The Welfare State was brought in to help the
honest poor. At all events that was the theory. Now it helps the idle poor, the determinedly idle poor,
Third World foreigners
on the make, Illegal Immigrants who flock to England to become idle and any
other free loading parasite you can think of. Of course this system is not
merely appallingly expensive; it needs people to run it. They form another
burden on the tax payer. Indeed they are a large part of the greatest burden we share. It began
with the Beveridge Report of
1942 which created the
Poverty Trap. It
is not just the fault of Beveridge but he drew up
the basic plan.
Her Majesty's Allegedly Loyal Opposition which was until recently
Her Majesty's Government extorted some
80% of the honest working man's pay. The largest lump of which goes to the
dole system in one way or another. See Tax 2010 for
what they admit to. Whether the new lot will be any better is to be seen. It is
probably no more than a forlorn hope. You just might feel that the point of the
welfare industry is to grant Labour governments the
power to bribe voters, especially Third World lay
abouts with Illegal Immigrant Council
Houses, to give them power through Vote
Rigging. This is not to
say that The Tories are any less corrupt. Its just that
they pander to a different constituency.

In his book,
The Servile State, English political writer
Hilaire Belloc makes his case for the natural instability of pure capitalism
and discusses how, as he believes, attempts to reform capitalism will lead
almost inexorably to an economy where state regulation has removed the freedom
of capitalism and thereby replaced capitalism with what he calls the Servile
State. He believes that this servile state shares with ancient slavery the fact
that positive law (as opposed to custom or economic necessity by themselves)
dictates that certain people will work for others, who likewise must take care
of them, and so the welfare state may lead to a kind of
serfdom, in
which one group works to support another group that does not work.
Some
conservatives in the UK claim that the welfare state has produced a
generation of dependents who, instead of working, rely solely upon the state for
income and support; even though assistance is only legally available to those
unable to work or who being without employment are unable to find work. The
welfare state in the UK was created to provide certain people with a basic level
of benefits in order to alleviate poverty, but these conservatives believe that
it has been expanded to provide more people with more money from the state than
it can ideally afford.[1][2]
Some feel that this argument is demonstrably false: the benefits system in
the UK provides individuals with considerably less money than the national
minimum wage, but people on welfare often find that they qualify for a
variety of benefits, including benefits in-kind, such as
Housing Benefit, which usually make the overall benefits much higher than
basic figures imply.[3][4]
Some British conservatives, such as
Conservative Party co-chairman
Sayeeda Warsi, also criticise the "'something for nothing' culture" of the
welfare state, claiming that the high extent of the welfare state "discourages
the unemployed from finding jobs".[5]
55% of people in
England and 43% of people in
Scotland
believe that "benefits for unemployed people are too high and discourage them
from finding jobs".[6]

This article is better than one might expect.
Hilaire Belloc's book,
The Servile State comes in for mention and comment. Albeit words like
claim, believe, allege should ring alarm bells - see
Words as Propaganda Tools for more
on the point.
Positive Law -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_law
Seems to be man made law, as distinct from good law. It is also not
Natural Law.
Natural
Law -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_law
This translates as the laws of nature, such as the law of
gravity. One that is inherent in the real world, in human nature too.

EU court entertained bogus case on welfare rights
At first glance, the case of
Bogdan Chain v. Atlanco Ltd., heard on 12 March 2015 at the European
Court of Justice, seemed like any other. The case involved a Polish man, a Dublin-based international
recruitment company, a Belgian legal firm, and two Cypriot-based
lawyers. But this was no ordinary case............
In November 2014, we set about finding the man named as the
applicant in the case. It took us several months to find him,
eventually tracking him to his home in Stalowa Wola, an industrial
city in southeast Poland..........
He was truly shocked when we told him of a European Court of
Justice case in his name. He had no knowledge of this case, had not
initiated any legal proceedings and had not engaged or instructed
any legal representatives to act his behalf........
The defendant in this case was Atlanco, an international
recruitment company headquartered in Dublin, Ireland but registered
in Nicosia, Cyprus. Atlanco was one of a myriad of subsidiary
companies of the Dublin-based parent company, the Atlanco Rimec
Group.
Founded in 1994 by Irish entrepreneur Michael O’Shea the Atlanco
Rimec Group grew into one of the leading recruitment agencies in
Europe and had, at its peak, over 50,000 workers on its books. Atlanco’s business model was straightforward - bidding on
Northern European contracts at Eastern European rates - and
dispatching workers from lower-pay unemployment blackspots in
eastern and southern Europe, particularly from Poland and, more
recently, from Portugal.........
The Irishman now residing
in Geneva has been described
in Ireland’s rich list as a “low profile private equity baron,”
with an estimated personal wealth in excess of €60 million. Notably,
O’Shea was secretary and director of Atlanco when proceedings
commenced in Chain v. Atlanco.

Various lawyers are corrupt, thieves and liars. O'Shea is another
Capitalist Swine, a shit on the make but
he will walk away laughing. It all sounds uncannily like the thieves who ran the
Al Sweady Job, costing the tax payer
millions - again.
