My gripe is that this thread (and many other rants) is aimed in part at the unemployed which is pretty unfair.
Actually, in his OP Arthur referred to people who are "on the unemployment register", not "the unemployed". There is a world of difference - but either way, arguing over angels on a pinhead is rather missing the point. Arthur feels aggrieved that he works hard and goes without, while some people seem to be doing quite well out of "the system". What do we think about that?
