What planet are these think tanks on? Surely it would have been better to have near 100% employment for British citizens instead.

Weel I suppose the government has to do something, to supply a workforce, because of the shear amount of people able to work but yet drawing benefits.

Two people I know very well from my local draw benefits. One has worked a total of 5 years in his entire life (50 years) and just now how to play the system. At least he got a job recently working 2 hours a day... oh pardon me.. it is to keep his benefits. The other has not worked due to depression.

Nothing physically wrong with the depressed guy. He is very good at making the effort to go to the pub every evening complaining about the government, inflation and so forth that looks so well after him. The lazy git!!
