Heaven forfend we should get a third of those people working then. There's always a lot of talk about immigrants claiming benefits but quite honestly, I've hardly met any that don't already have a job, lots of them menial, unsocial hours etc... but they're working.

There are lots and lots of people unemployed and desperately trying to get their lives back on track and they should get all the help they need. But there are a lot who don't intend to work because they're quite comfortable. It's madness...
