It's a tad late for that, Keynesianism discusses stimulus for capital projects and infrastructure, not for state employment during bad times for business as usual activities.
There is a big disconnect between jobs.

By that token if I take say a tenner from you and give you a fiver I've contributed that five pounds. Let's stick to

A few things - going back to keeping people employed unproductively isn't one of them. Some construction and other infrastructure work would be good right now mind you.
