Maybe we should take Eugenics more seriously?

I find elitist dickwads are more of a problem.

But rather unlikely to break into your house, steal your car or piss on your front step.......

A lot of this is down to the education system we have after 50 years of socialist meddling. It is OK to be a doughball here, failure is an option which is almost promoted.

I don't agree - I know very few people in this position who feel good about not working.

Some of the people who hold these views should try being unemployed with your livelyhood sold down the river by a "GDP" government.

Actually, with the ICT and outsourcing of the DVLA etc, maybe you'll get your chance - but then at least you'll have years of earnings to support you. Unlike some peeps who dont get a job from Birth till 25 cos there's simply sod all there; and have grandparents who were the last to work as miners or shipbuilders, or any of the other industries we've decimated in the name of the city and GDP increases.

in a nutshell yes - during the day the weird and wonderful (and unemployable) go for a trip to the local tesco's/aldi/asda for a day out.

tip for you leave it until Eastenders is on and you will not see hide nor hair of them.

QFT!

That may be true in the North, but its not true in London and the SE.
There's work here if you want it. It might not be great work, but work there is.

The assumption here is everyone you saw in Tescos is on the fiddle. Many will be shift workers, on holiday, self employed, part time, on some sort of flexible working or possibly sharing parenting duties while the OH works.

It was how they looked - intelligent people generally look intelligent.
Perhaps my local Tescos is populated by zombies.
