New sanctions may mean families unable to pay rent

Oh, I see.
So then, according to you that therefore means that every person on a benefit is precisely the same..
NO sickness beneficiaries desperately in need of help & support.
 NO people recently made redundant by our delightful govt, struggling to cope on what must seem a miniscule level of income.
NO homeless people trying to survive on the streets.
NO caregivers coping with their physically or mentally impaired children.
Given human nature there will always be those few who manage to work the system; I'd prefer we help those people rather than missing helping someone in desperate need.
Of course.. .its also very interesting that you seem to know so much about their circumstances . Or not, of course..

.its also very interesting that you seem to know so much about their circumstances, they are people i know.

2 or 3% unemployment maybe.

We are being subjected to Austerity Economics by this out of date National Government though to balance the books in their words but which is actually transferring money from the poor to the already rich.

And that is the Neo Liberal way. 
And it helps if they can manage to cause dissent along the way by portraying beneficiaries as being somehow lesser, undeserving, unworthy. And of course those other favourites of Neo Libs when it comes to causing division, gang members & criminals...

That's far easier than looking at & adressing the causes of those things. That's a long term thing, not a quick & easy fix. And other than enriching themselves & their already wealthy mates, they don't really do long term. Not unless there's really seriously big money in it. 
For them, obviously.

 I used to think they wanted to return us all to something like Victorian times, but now I suspect the aim is probably something closer to feudal times.

 And if that isn't plain evil, then what the hell is it.
