Three and a half million layabouts in the UK ?

That sounds about right. I have friends over there and a couple of them didn't have a job for over 4 years. Didn't even look for one either. "I'm on the dole why work?"

<”I’m on the dole why work?”

18 years ago I was on a flight to London and sat next to a guy w/a business in England. He said it was next to impossible to hire anyone because people got on the dole and felt it wasn’t worth the effort to go to work. They’d rather get less money and stay on the dole than make more money and have to get up and out everyday. I’m pretty sure things haven’t changed much since then.
