One problem we are overlooking is the fact that if anyone wishes to retain some personal pride and dignity, and go to work with any job they can get, there's a likelihood that their benefits are affected, so stopping them making the move. I don't know how the Universal Benefits affect this, but we used to know it as the poverty trap I believe. So, its not always that the British worker is lazy, although we all know we have generations of benefit claimants, (for whatever reason), but often they are in a situation they cannot resolve themselves. have to agree though, that for many its a mind-set problem in accepting what they see as jobs with little prestige.
