I don't believe for one minute katie believes all what she says to the extent she says, it's all done for effect and attention...which she is clearly getting..

I work in recruitment in a fairly deprived area if Manchester, Salford, and a lot of people who are long term unemployed DO want to work but jobs are sparse plus to earn a decent wage commensurable with the benefits they get is nigh on impossible....a lot of people would be far worse off in a job than not .....that's not their fault it the economy and benefit system they have become entrenched in.

Surely they would be mentally better off though even If they earned less in a job as long as they can afford to pay their bills, rent ect then having a job is the best thing for them.

My advice is if the job doesn't pay as much as your benefits then get in there kiss arse and work your way up the company.
