Welfare isn't a handout, it's not a gift, it's not charity. It's the price the state has to pay for failing to create necessary jobs for people. It's compensation, and it's compensation that is currently far lower than what people deserve. It should be at wage level.

All Corbyn wanted to do was help his country and the world, and his own party spent years tearing him down, smearing him, and undermining his every move. How fucking sad. I hope history remembers these traitors like the scum they are.
