   I think they ought to be made to do/contribute something . I`m an ex council tenant ( had some horrendous health/financial challenges ) . Purchased mine and moved on . It`s now rented to a DSS tenant who has turned it into a TIP whilst she produces ever more offspring by different fathers . There is a rent to mortgage shortfall and I have to subsidise that !! Why should I , who works 18 hrs a day and the state have to pay for someone to stay at home to do whatever they will . Something very wrong here ! Surely she could do SOMETHING ! Also think that once you`ve fallen into the benefit trap it`s very difficult to regain self respect and the work ethic again . OK , the disabled ( not the golden stick brigade ) the old and sick are a different matter , but, if for all intents and purposes you are fit and able , YES , you should be doing SOMETHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
