  I think we all need to take a couple of paces back and catch our breaths and perspectives on this one.
  
  There are a small minority of the unemployed who never have and never will want to work and through their attitude and behaviour have effectively made themselves unemployable.
  
  There is a sizeable minority who make minimal efforts to find jobs, sufficient to maintain benefits, because the current system penalises them financially if they were successful in getting a job.
  
  The remainder do not want to be on benefits and will make every effort to get work, unfortunately too often the system hinders and penalises them rather than helping them.
  
  As Alexander in his very own idiosyncratic style has said we must stop stigmatising all those who find themselves in the position of being without work, for the majority this is not a lifestyle choice it is something they bear whilst they try to find work.
