Labour consider making benefit/welfare payments a human right.

GayGuevara [Edit] [Delete] 12:16, 17 July '13

Or, indeed, a "scrounger's charter" to use their own, off the record, term.

Is it possible enshrine something as a 'human right' for one person if it directly and unequivocally places a proactive obligation on someone else? I'm not sure it is.

Obviously won't happen as it would be political suicide, but would be fun to watch them try.

Hmmm, interesting...
