Gee, imagine, you create an entire class of people who get something for nothing. How will these people react when it gets taken away? With civility? Will they take it to the polls?
Really, Labour back in power? Where will labour magically get the cash for these entitlements from? Will raise the tax rate on Leprechauns?

The problem is that there are more unemployed than there a jobs. Sure, there will always be one or two lazy sods, but the vast majority of unemployed want to work, but can't find anything. What do you reckon society should do with these people, let them starve to death?
