UK.gov went ahead with under-planned, under-funded IT upgrade? Sounds about right

Bollocks. Universal Credit is not about streamlining and simplifying the benefits system. It is purely about cutting costs. We give money to people who don't have any, and that's bad -- they are the undeserving poor. So we have to give them less (to force them to work).

On the other hand we give more money, every year (triple lock) to the old twats -- that's because they vote (Tory, mainly).

It is nothing about having a working system. But it is everything about political ideology.
