Given the total clusterf.ck of the Universal Credit rollout, or the fact that appeals against ESA and PIP decisions are successful in 75% of cases, not to mention sh.t like Windrush, one can assume that far more families have been affected by the UK Tory governments.Mark Rutte's government has stepped down after thousands of families were wrongly accused of child welfare fraud and told to pay money back.
Families suffered an "unparalleled wrong", Dutch MPs decided, with tax officials, politicians, judges and civil servants leaving them powerless.
Many of those affected were from an immigrant background and hundreds were plunged into financial difficulty.
Mr Rutte submitted the cabinet's resignation to the king.
"Innocent people have been criminalised and their lives ruined," he then told reporters, adding that responsibility for what had gone wrong lay with the cabinet. "The buck stops here."
Imagine if right-wing parties in the UK felt a similar sense of responsibility for their policies.
