    Single man on benefits claims there's 'no point' in working because he will earn less than he does now - and says he can't find a job because he doesn't have a laptop
    John, 54, from Leeds, says changing face of Yorkshire hasn't helped
    Believes he would earn less than he does on benefits if he worked
    Has an allotment but wouldn't want to work in a garden centre

    Give people free tulip, complain when they use it, complain that they should volunteer to earn less rather than receive more, complain about tax, use whatever mechanisms are available to pay as little as possible while receiving the same, complain that corporations don't pay enough tax.

          This is a good video I saw yesterday about K / R selected species and the rise & fall of empires.

          He's the product of us Ks letting the spineless wimpy Rs slip under the radar since our wealth makes the cost less noticeable until things start falling apart.

          Being too soft makes you weak, until you;re so weak that the survivors go all K again.


          Long-ish video but interesting if there's nothing much else to do.

            He's on every program possible.

            I feel sorry for his children more than anything.

            There are restaurants and hotels that would employ him if he wasn't so damn lazy.

            (I should add I worked in a restaurant as a student and it wasn't nice.)
