Social 'security' cartoon. My local Job Centre Plus used to have 5 phone booths for jobseekers to ring up and enquire about their benefits or ring up for a job interview. About a week ago only one phone booth was working. Is this spending cuts Britain ? It seems that the very poor in society are being made to feel the brunt of the Government's attempts at reducing the deficit but I have been told that only 4 or 5 people are being employed by the Government to investigate corporation giant tax avoidance.
