Is this possible ?
I was speaking to a decorator who said he only had to work 16hrs a week which plus his benefits brought him £280 and his rent is paid . He said it was a great life with plenty of time off. I don't know if thats all true but he had no reason to lie.

People working 16 hours or less can claim Income Support but this is means tested and takes in to account the amount of earnings. In fact the authorities are very wise to this and need a good reason for not being able to work more than 16 hours.

I think the increasing unsustainability of the system will mean that more and more people will feel that a lifetime of conforming to the ideology of 'get qualifications - work hard - pay your taxes - obey the rules = and you will be treated fairly and looked after in sickness and old age' has actually been a massive confidence trick.
Could be an older profile for rioters and looters in the future.
