Problem with such policies are fourfold Firstly,on the admin level they do not work (and are always more expensive in the end): Which is usually why they have never been tired.
Secondly such policies are caught up in the fact they very namely of their victims, that is the poorest and most embittered elements of society, are prepared ultimately to outflank any alleged policy. that is the bottom line is that no government can let them starve (and they are paid so little that starvation is always rather a near option.)
Thirdly, of the group of people contain the most unemployable elements in society. i tis pointless getting forcing them to do anything, as no one will want them. They are less unemployed, and more unemployable.
Finally the group are a very textures mass, full not of the 'lazy' and but also traumatizied (is varying ways), and so any policy is likely to create so much injustice that it is hardly worth the political consequence.
Moreover such policies fail because the numbers involved are very small beer (64000 long term unemployed @ 3000( or so) works out at 210 million pounds a year; when Mp's salaries come in at over 39 million a year, and the NHS spends billions.
Really hitting the poor is therefore at once costly, unjust, and not worth the savings, which is why beyond the idiotic postering of the scary shary tories and New Blither, it never is done. This is of course rather a pity, as it certainly is the case that within the miserable mass of poverty which haunts this country there are many sad stories, and many people awaiting so kid of root out. Trouble is as long as the policy is framed in the langugae of the Dail Hate, how to reach these problem remains not just impossible, but also unthinkable.
