A few years back I wrote a song called Pondlife. If you want to have a
pond, you gotta have pondlife, no pondlife, no pond. There's a lot of
people who complain about those who just take a giro from the post
office to the pub, but have the nerve to complain when both shut!

In my experience, almost all of those capable of work will work, paid or
voluntary. Daytime TV is after all pretty damn crap.

There's a big difference though between being able to do some work and
fulfilling a formal employment contract. A guy with bipolar, cancer,
arthritis, likely need three months off a year- who would employ such a
person without some state help?

At the moment the odds of making money honestly are stacked against huge
sections of the community, whilst you'll get rich psychos brokering arms
deals to repressive dictators and spending their earnings on killing
endangered wildlife- are such people any more use to society than the
guy who stays at home, smokes pot and watches Jeremy Kyle. At least the
latter frequents the offy and paper shop, putting his cash into the
local people's ecomomy.
