They get an extra tenner a week in cash, some £2,000 a year on average in housing benefit, council tax benefit, free dentistry and so on.
I oppose imposing a fee of, say, a tenner, particularly on a long-term unemployed person.
We are not talking about tenners and fivers.
It does not quite cost a tenner now, but it costs 10 bob.
Would it not be better to give everyone who lost money a tenner?
How many of them will be deterred by a tenner a test?
A tenner happens to be approximately what optometrists are paid—£9·30 to be precise.
If somebody changes a fiver or a tenner down here, he invariably receives a fistful of change.
