Churches in Britain have criticised a government plan to remove benefits from unemployed people if they refuse to accept jobs offered to them by labour officers, reports ENInews Online. "There is a serious danger that people living in poverty will be stigmatised by government announcements that they are lazy or work shy," said the Rev. Alison Tomlin, president of the Methodist Conference. The government minister for work and pensions, Iain Duncan Smith, told lawmakers on 11 November that plans for benefits to be removed for up to three years from claimants who refuse to take work opportunities are part of a new "contract" with unemployed people.
