I've paid rather a lot in during my lifetime as insurance and not taken
a great deal out.

But you talk about benefit culture?

That generally means you think you are entitled to what you've paid for.
Everyone else being scroungers.

Fort he record I am happy with the welfare state as a safety net fort

will be even fewer wanting to do those sort of jobs.
