Mums have a vital job
REGARDING the BBC’s ‘Don’t cap my benefits’ programme of 10 April, it was a very depressing account of mainly young mothers being harassed by the coalition’s crass capping system.
What is the point of forcing young mothers of two or three children to get a job? They already have a vital job, namely parenting young children.
If David Cameron and Iain Duncan Smith watched this programme they should realise what a monster their welfare reform is. Never has the word welfare been so abused.
