        Do you know him? You seem to know a lot about him.

          If you're utterly skint and on benefits then getting a minimum wage job is probably the worst thing you can do as you'll lose a whole heap of benefits.

          If I had to redesign the benefits system then rather than simply cutting off some benefits when someone got a job I'd look to reward the effort. As a first thought, I'd reduce benefits by 50p for every £1 earned, giving at least some financial incentive to work, taper it down to 75p benefit cut per £1 earned after 1 year and altogether after 2.

          The harder line approach is to simply put everyone to community service if they're on benefits for > six months. Even 95%+ of those on invalidity benefits can do some work, even if it is just envelope stuffing at home or sitting at a charity shop counter.

            Perhaps as your use of English is so awful I could do the initial introduction and write the contracts, and then hand him over to worldly "knob ends" like you.

              Maybe, but this guy is single with no kids, and shares a rented flat. Surely he'd be better of on NMW...

                  It's an interesting question actually, the title of this thread. What proportion of the unemployed are, actually scum.

                  I mean, there are some who go out burgling, do drugs and claim the dole as a sort of income supplement. I am not too keen on young ladies who get themselves pregnant as a lifestyle choice, knowing they will get a flat and income for life

                  but these are tiny numbers

                    .
                    It's not that bad, to be honest. You do qualify for 'working tax credits', which make it better to work than not to.

                    But, the Government has moved the goalposts as regards the number of hours you have to work.

                    It depends on your circumstances. A single person comes off worse, and as we have seen, the key to riches is to pump out kids.

                    At the end of the day, we just need more jobs. Then we can separate the 'surplus workforce' from the 'workshy', but not until then.

                      UK kids don't learn to hustle as much as they do in other countries.

                      DA has a point.
