Means testing is entirely to please the Envious. All benefits and grants should be universal and , so long as you have to make a modicum of effort to claim them, those who don't need them won't bother, by and large.

B, I thought that 'the contributory principle' was for the envious, but what i do know is that means testing and the contributory principle, while both being shite, are in fact almost diametrically opposite and you might as well just go universal.
