Royal Mail To Offer "Affordable" Stamps At Christmas

Here's an interesting item that Royal Mail is doing in offering low income people a limited amount of 1st and 2nd class stamps for 2011 prices, presumably for the upcoming holidays:

Although it's a novel idea and the intent may be noble enough, I wonder if people will abuse the program by obtaining stamps that they may not be eligible for or else re-selling them after purchase.

I suppose with such a limited number of stamps that may be purchased (36 in total) the abuse should not be that much of a problem.
