The vegetarian option for welfare reform

Today's conference on welfare reform began to identify some important policies and actions that would match the help to find work with reality.  I'll be writing this up shortly, but in the meantime here are some good quotes:

"There is nothing inevitable about the economic upturn. " (delegate)

"No one got rich on Incapacity Benefit" (Brian Gibbons)

"The new welfare system is likely to cause huge, huge distress in our communities" (Steve Fothergill)"

"Jobcentres have refused to write to blind people in Braille - this is a fundamental failing" (RNIB Cymru)

"Benefit reform needs to be the vegetarian option - lots of carrots" (Terry Mills)"

There were plenty more but no chance to write them down.
