And plenty more refuse to move to where the work is too.

Moving house is vastly more expensive now than it was forty years ago,

BULL**** when you are renting.

Only 36% rent,

A FAR higher percentage who are receiving the dole instead of working do.

and about half of those are in social housing. You are more likely to be
'workless' than in work if you own outright than privately rent.

**** all of those who choose not to work
own the property they are living in.

Workless: Mortgage 1.3%, own outright 13.1%,

Like I said, **** all.

private rent 9.7%, council/HA 26.7%

Those numbers dont total 100%

thanks to the 'mansion' stamp duty now applying to most housing in large
towns and cities.

None of that involved when you are renting.
It's also a lot more difficult if you have school-age children.

That's bull**** too. Same as forty years ago.

Do the arithmetic: it's worth moving house for a well-paid job, it isn't
for anything less and particularly for around minimum wage, which most
jobs now are.

That's bull**** too.

Transactions costs are notoriously high in the UK.

Waffle. It doesnt cost that much to move when renting.

Is there any possibility of you providing an ounce of reasoning?

Thats flagrantly dishonest.
