It's self-selecting. It takes drive just to migrate, let alone to do the
work.


Quite. It would seem many UK born unemployed won't travel a few miles for
work - let alone several hundred.


Some of us, we just need an incentive.


And just what would that be?

For someone who doesn't work, it's a little two faced to complain when
others choose not to.


I'm retired, pet. And never out of work during my working life.

It doesn't help having a tax and benefit system that disincentives
casual work.


Are you of the 'let's force the unemployed to take any work' loony view,
then?
