Anyway the issue is a little more complicated than that - there isn't contrary to popular myth a great swathe of people who "enjoy" living off benefits, there are people stuck in areas where deindustrialisation has deprived people of jobs which were highly paid and skilled, not surprising that a steel worker or skilled factory worker is not thrilled with idea of a low skilled minimum wage job.
Its easy to proletise when your community hasn't be devestated by the closure of industry and your left in your 50's with no job and a set of skills no longer required!
