  We have all seen examples of the 'vulnerable and poor' who have lived their lives on benefits, never had a job, perhaps third generation of jobless and yet - there is the 42" flat-screen tv, PS3's, Laptops and even in one recent case a boob job, all paid for by us.
  
  I do not hold that such people should be able to continue their parasitic lifestyle and I an optimistic that will change. In simply do not agree at all with the concept of 'relative poverty'.
  
  Clearly there are indeed people who are vulnerable, temporarily down on their luck, elderly, disabled and so on. These all deserve support and IDS' proposals will ensure that they are protected and, where appropriate, helped and encouraged back into work.
