  The biggest problem I see in this, Howard, is lack of motivation.
  And then, the risk that it might become a habit to demand that unemployed people work for longer periods unpaid, say 2 months, 3 months... once the idea sets in that there is a working class potentially exploitable free of charge.
  
  Next we'd have the serf class.
  
  So, seriously, I'd suggest that we propose a system where wealthy workers do 1 month or more a year of unpaid work, ie, their wages are paid into a a specific fund that is used to finance training and employment schemes for the unemployed.
  
  It could start with all those with at least £100,000 in savings and who have their own house and needn't pay rent or mortgage.
