We (the UK) have a large enough 'working population', it's just a pity that some of them do very nicely on benefits and handouts and don't 'need' to work.


edit: The average salary in the UK is £29,600 per year (or £1,950 per month).

I know a great many who are on £10k less than that doing full time shift work, averages are just more statistical nonsense
