British workers are not lazy or need a kick up the rectum.
Low pay having to be subsidised by the taxpayer's borrowings is the problem
You fall into the Tory trap of thinking big pay at the top is productive
Low pay at the bottom is good.
I Don't think you grasp the basic flow rule of economics,
Money must circulate around the system in order to stimulate and heat all parts
Bit like radiators in your house.
If all the hot water stays in one room the rest of the house gets cold and shuts down
The money cycle.
When you throw out statistics make sure they are relevant. My comments on benefits encompass in work as well as out of work benefits. Did I not say about phasing out tax credits?
Not all Brit workers are lazy of course but far too many are and are unemployable as many employers will testify.
I certainly have never at any time have said low pay is good. I want people to earn as much as possible but you will not get that through benefits and a minimum wage.
Do not ever try to tell me about economic. B****y cheek. I deal with economic issues daily in my profession. I have forgotten more about economics than you know and thats not much.
