Praps when you've paid as much as Blue has in tax, and when you've seen it all frittered away, you might have a different view. I feel exactly the same as my friend on the south coast, for exactly the same reasons.
If the system is there for people who 'can't' find work then I guess there would be far fewer claimants. There are many, I think, who could find work if only they were arsed to do so.
