Britons just can't be bothered

Britain is suffering from a "why bother" economy because its benefits culture, high taxes and poor education system leave many people lacking the motivation or capability to succeed, according to a report.

Child poverty has risen, with the number of children classified as low income rising from 2.4 million to three million.

State schools stand accused of a "dismal" record when it comes to educating the poorest in society, with school-leavers from poor backgrounds doing only half as well as average 16-year-olds.

There is also a geographical division, with three times the number of people in parts of northern England claiming disability benefits than in the South East.

This is basically suggesting the poorest are having it too easy and should be forced into pointless work just to generate wealth for the economy. The first thing they should do to motivate people is to stop immigration and repatriate most immigrants, then people would have reasonable wages and feel they were supporting their nation.

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
"

From William Shakespeare's "Macbeth"
