Plus what are you meant to do in your spare time? At least if unemployed people play music or something that's more productive, going out drinking with friends contributes more than sitting down watching TV(if you can even afford a TV) all day.
just spotted this shite. being out of work sucks, you can't seriously expect a country to shell out 300 quid a week so you can drink and in case you, god forbid, get bored. but maybe you're just a fucking troll?
