UNEMPLOYMENT ISSUES: Is this country (England) going down the gutter?

I feel a little like this.The thing is, would you like a nanny state like in scandinavia when you could just flunk off of everything with no incentive to succeed? Then we really would be in the sh*tter. The thing is, every country goes through trouble, and people do lose their jobs, but then does it not make you glad LABOUR set up a benefit system so you and your brother don't starve on the street while you look for a job? Despite what people think, I think the government have a good go at our problems, but I don't think your problem can get solved by the government. Just enjoy the fact at least we're not in somalia or some other 3rd world country.
