Someone has to pay for it though.
I'd certainly like to see a Scotland where the mantra "let the markets decide" isnae the prevailing, default mantra.

But it's a recognised, economic fact that unfettered capitalism requires an underclass to function ("scroungers" I think is how you often define them?).
A hungry, readily available workforce/infantry.

You keep that underclass disenfranchised long enough it becomes generational and ingrained, yer basic sociology right there.

I find that morally unacceptable but I suppose it would be a more dull world if our moral compasses all pointed in the same direction.
