Self-preservation. I certainly wouldn't work if I won the £113m lottery.

There is no distinction made in the article. Are you saying that the long term jobless, irrespective of the circumstances which lead to their being "jobless", should all be tarred with the same brush?

Yes there is. It says "job-seekers benefit". Not incapacity benefit or other benefits. By definition via the government: "To get Jobseeker's Allowance you must be:
* available for, capable and actively seeking work"

Sorry, point of fact. Long term "work shy" is your chosen terminology - not what I am referencing.

I stand by what I say. There are people that literally make a careet out of dodging work. Deliberately sabotaging their CV, throwing interviews, getting fired...If they put as much effort into doing work as they do avoiding it they'd actually quite a lot.
I should not have to work just so I can fund those that don't want to. Make me out how you will with your asides - I don't care and won't apologise for it.
