Workers Or Shirkers: Victorian Benefits - 2019 - 6/10

Things never change. You want to aid the less fortunate, those down on their luck, the injured.
The lazy, the idlers, the spongers, the loafers? Not so much.
Traces the earliest solutions, devised by those ever-industrious Victorians.
From the workhouse, to unemployment benefits.
Until the government money begins to tap out.
Then the rabble hear a posh phrase – austerity measures.
Even today, no easy solutions, perhaps no solutions.
