Clearly Not Working - 1 in 5 UK Families Forced to Borrow Money for Groceries[edit]

There should be some mention of the hardship the 'Universal Benefits' scheme has already caused in the UK: this reliable Daily Mail article of 17th April 2012 <http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2131010/Staggering-rise-British-food-bank-One-opens-week-families-pay-packet-away-having-money.html> shows that new paupers FoodBanks are being opened up across the UK at a rate of 1 every week, and that 1 in 5 families are being forced to borrow money to purchase groceries - even those who are in paid employment! There should be some 'controversies' or 'criticisms' section added to the main article, to avoid it becoming a biased homage to Ian Duncan Smith, rather than an encyclopedic article.212.139.99.83 (talk) 17:42, 17 April 2012 (UTC)twl212.139.99.83 (talk) 17:42, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
