Speaking to my father the other day, he said considering the Governments approach to welfare for young people he wouldn't be surprised if they soon suggested bringing back work houses.  He is old enough to remember when they were still around.  A few years back I would have dismissed such concerns as unfounded, these days all I think it would take is an opinion poll in the Daily Mail and ministers would be drawing up proposals.
