Personally, I think this is a much better system ... sort out your own living accommodation, moats, taxis, staff, etc., sink or swim on this and don't come back for more, 'cause you won't get it. Savings in administration and controversy would be enormous.

That's very heartless kate, how would the poor lambs survive in the Metropolis on such a pittance
