It's spare capacity we are not putting to use.(Original post by Betelgeuse-)
Mate idleness of a minority costs us a fraction in the scheme of things. The UK's debt is not because Ronnie Pickering and his ilk want to sit on the sofa in their ball stranglers scratching their balls and eating smart price monster munch instead of working.

Why are so many people dependent on the government in the UK?
Either governments have continually been giving away freebies for votes i.e
Working tax credits, housing benefits, child tax credits etc
Or
Our policies are not great for employment, starting businesses, self employed, protecting industries etc
What do you think? or is it both?
I dare say we could save £20bn per year just in the welfare and pensions bill. -

You are failing to acknowledge my point - re-read my original post and the whole host of benefits it covers. It's one of the main reasons.
Maybe the UK needs to invest better in industries for the future. Im not well informed enough in this area to say with any certaintyLast edited by Betelgeuse-; 27-10-2015 at 18:30. -
