Keeping Them Honest

In keeping with British fair play, the Department of Workfare and Privation is debating whether to penalise people who received compensation for the Church of Rome's attempts at moral improvement of fallen women. Recipients who are resident in the UK are liable for yet further moral improvement by being deprived of social security payments until their unearned wealth runs out. Exceptions have been allowed in other cases, notably that of the Windrush persecutions where the compensation process has been made difficult enough to keep pay-outs to a prudent minumum; and a campaign is under way in favour of a similar arrangement in this case. Of course British fair play wouldn't be British without a strong moral component, so there is no hint of a suggestion that recipients of compensation should not as a rule be deprived of social security until they are poor enough to claim the DWP's pittance.
