Can you go back and read what I actually said please?
You'll notice that I said no such thing as you claim.
You do not need money to keep a house tidy.
It doesn't take more than £10 a month on cleaning products to keep a house clean.
If you treat a house provided by the state like crap, never clean, abuse your neighbours, punch holes in walls etc, then you should be moved into less expensive and more basic accomodation, to make way for people who do deserve decent accomodation and will appreciate it.
Absolute figures of workshy scroungers doesn't matter, 1 is an unnecessary burden on the rest of us, more than one is obviously an even greater burden.

No, that's exactly what I thought you said.
Though you haven't said how you'd force someone, who doesn't want to do a cushy job in an office, to do a non-cushy job picking up litter or cleaning grafitti.
Bring back gang masters with whips perhaps?
(temping, very tempting!).
