Britain’s benefits generation

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

State handouts are now a way of life for six million Britons:

Six million Britons are living in homes where no one has a job and “benefits are a way of life”, a report by MPs revealed yesterday.

And they cost the taxpayer nearly £13 billion a year in state handouts.

This army of families on benefit — nearly one in six of all households in the country — has been untouched by a decade of Labour’s attempts to get them into work, said the Public Accounts Committee.

Four out of five of these homes have no one who is even looking for a job.

Wow.
