The UK has 11M people who are working age but donโt work. We have just over 32M actual workers. That means 25% of working age people arenโt working!
Every single day 1000 people sign onto benefits claiming to be too sick to work. After WW2 a total of 2% of the population were deemed too sick to work - people who had PTSD from the front lines worked and people who had lost limbs worked.
How is a country meant to function when it has 65M people but only 32M workers and 11M working age people collecting benefits from the state? How long can that last?
