There should be a 6 month limit for unemployment benefits as in the US. After that you get parachuted into Waziristan.

So not all long-term unemployed are lazy layabouts like you say.

Really F**ks me off.
There was a suggestion recently that people on long term employment havign to do a form of comunity service type work to receive their benefits. I'm all for it, once they are out of work for a while, they just don't care about getting a job, meeting people, or bettering themselves. Even the promise of more money wouldn't work!

Feeding vermin is not a community service!
