Exactly Stagecoach, It's a 'Career' here spending your life on Benefits. Girls get pregnant at 15/16, others feign a bad back etc, today it' mental health. And their lifelong 'Career' starts. Everything free, right up to having their funeral paid for. I know a former manager of the old National Newspapers near Liverpool who had these people do casual labour for him, to justify that they were looking for work, then back to the Benefits and childcare.
British people had too much pride in themselves up until the 1960s to claim Benefits. Then it all changed. I stood behind an Indian in aPost Office in the 70s, who had a jacket over his chef's unifiorn collecting dole money. I could give dozens of examples.
Anyway, a General Election within 2 years?
