Long term Jobless.

Sadly, I know a few leading a not uncomfortable life never having done so much as a days work since leaving school.

They need their backside given a good kick and be made to work. There should be no option to just sit about and get paid for doing nothing, they should be given the option of working or no income to keep them in their lifestyles.

There cannot be any true shortage of jobs, if it worth while for people to come over here and find themselves jobs from eastern Europe. Make the work shy put in at least 20 hours per week, to earn some of their keep. That would make it worth their while to find a proper job.

The dole and benefits were set up not to be a lifestyle choice, but to be a safety net.

I recently shopped someone who was both claiming and earning on the side, a life style which they and their relatives have followed for decades. The benefits pay for the basics, the work on the side pays for the luxury. The authorities seem not at all bothered in following it up, from what I have seen.
