Thousands lose out on sickness benefits

At long last....a Government that is ensuring that the social system is for the people who need it and not for those who just want an easy life. Just because you can't go back to work as a builder, cleaner etc, doesn't mean you can't do a desk job for example.

If I could vote, I would vote for Reinfeldt!

No, it's time to (correctly) focus on the people who are in most need, in genuine need of help, not to trot out the same old right-wing, pitch-fork-waving, reactionary tripe about "lazy so-and-sos" that normally happens whenever an issue like this is in the spotlight - because all that serves to do is make the pitch-fork-wavers look typically smug and self-satisfied whilst at the same time tarring anyone who has genuinely become ill with the same tarred brush - and this is still supposed to be a caring society.......or have I got that hopelessly wrong.

Focussing on the genuinely-needy will BY DEFAULT filter out the scroungers and wasters - so the smug, sanctimonious tossers out there can go back to their comfortable, normal lifestyles safe in the knowledge that the government is protecting their tax öre from the scroungers.

No doubt someone supposedly learnèd and clever, like skane-refugee - will come along and point out something trite and moronic.......like "grrrrrr - get them picking up litter in the streets!" or equally prosaic statements that masquerade on The Local as "intelligence".....

Just a word of warning. If you strip away social and welfare support and combine that with a pretty ineffective law enforcement system you're going to quickly face increased social anarchy with violent and ultimately racist undercurrents. If that's the way Swedes want society to move I think it's only because there isn't the vision to see the consequences. From Reinfeldt's point of view he's not going to consider the consequences because he's running a country which is economically unsustainable in it's current form. If you believe that welfare cuts and privatisation are a great solution though take a good luck at the UK and then ask yourself if that's really so great.
