I have absolutely no problem with anyone being temporarily unemployed, that is what the benefit system is there for and the present climate makes it certain that some will be unemployed during at least some stage in their lives unfortunately. I do object to those who see it as a lifetime career choice and even more so those who make it a career choice and who as a matter of general rule, work on the side, living a life of Riley at everyone else's expense. They are not just taking the regular money, but doing others out of what should be a proper job.
PM via email me, if you want to hear of such a tale.
