UK Benefits System In Deeper Trouble?

judgecorp writes "Two media reports suggest that the Universal Credit scheme to overhaul Britain's welfare programme is in trouble. The IT project to support Universal Credit was launched by the Cabinet Office, and it will be completed and run by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) — but the Guardian says the Cabinet Office has pulled out its elite experts too soon, while a different leak told Computer Weekly that the four original suppliers — HP, IBM, Accenture and BT — have been effectively frozen out in an internal change. It's the biggest change to Britain's benefits system for many years, and all the evidence says it's not going well."

    You keep on harping on the "EU immigrants" while avoiding talking about what is going in England.
     
    There are so many immigrants in England that in maternity wards across England's hospitals you find *MORE* non-white babies than the white babies !
     
    This is not about race either, since the *White Babies* could be of the Polish or Russian or Italian or Romania stock.
     
    Most of those who are receiving "benefits" are people formerly from Pakistan or Nigeria or India.
