OK, I have to admit that I get slightly grumpy, it's just that time of life. But what is going on in Stoke-on-Trent?
On the face of it, it's great that the lottery is emptying its coffers to give Stoke-on-Trent Citizens Advice Bureau £500,000 so that its staff can help people claim their benefits. But is this the best use of the money?
Why are 750 staff being trained to help people get benefits? Surely, it would be much better if they trained staff to teach people how to get a job...bah humbug I hear you cry, but come on, what is going on?
The reason Stoke-on-Trent is in such a mess is because so many people can't be bothered to go to work. Stoke-on-Trent Council has even employed someone to solve ther problem of worklessness...what do you think?
