Quite a few stereotypes being tossed around in this post ... and if they do get off their asses and try to get a job, will they succeed? I've read many posts on this forum which suggest that there is a shortage of jobs. With de-industrialization, out-sourcing, multi-nationals looking to set up in areas of the world where wages are low, and benefits are nil etc., this is not surprising. Also not surprising is the tory tendency to blame the poor for their poverty, and to let the fat cats off the hook. (Sorry for mixing the metaphors.) Once heard that someone "defended" Maggie T. by saying that she was not rascist; she just hated poor people whatever their color.
