I hate the welfare state with a passion, but can you blame the guy. If someone offered to give me as much money as I would earn from working, but I didn't have to work would I take it? Would you?

Chances are yes.

Now £800 wouldn't even cover my mortgage let alone anything else, so it's not a life for me. But if as a state we insist on giving these people money, then we can't blame them for taking it.

It's the system that is broken, people just take advantage of it.
