On the other hand
I wasn't lazy the moment I left school and I managed to find a job the day after my last exam paying above the minimum wage for as long as I did my work and actually produced something.
This job was given to me by the GOVERNMENT!
The money they gave to me could've been given to these poor sods who obviously didn't have the luck to get off their arses and look for a job that required next to no skills!
...bloody Labour/Tories/Plaid Cymru!

What with not being lazy and all.

I know
I'd hate to be one of those poor, victimised souls who have to bring themselves to turn down jobs that don't look comfortable or have the hours they'd like to have.
It must be horrible to be in a position where you feel you have to turn down a job because minimum wage or a 10 hour day is either not enough or too much respectably.
(okay, yes, yes, I know I said I was paid above minimum wage, but I also worked over 10 hours a day 6 days a week to ensure I gots my moneys and kept my job; people who decide not to take a job because they don't like the wage or hours should be given minimum wage jobs on 8 hour days for 5 days a week enforced by law - yes, it will lead to more tax, but it may just promote the right behaviour which will bring in tax revenue in the long run, and if they don't turn up stuck in a jail - those who do work should then be rewarded above the work they do, with holidays or a nice TV or some such, rewards to ensure they keep on going with their minimum wage job or their training which they can then use to pay for such luxuries themselves. They shouldn't sit around complaining that that £10/hour job which only asks for 30 hours a week didn't get back to them, because there are a thousand other lazy bastards out there who are also edging for that job, and only one of them is going to get it. Hey, who wants to throw rotting vegetables at the degenerates?!)

I worked for £3.25 an hour
but it was worth it as it was a 72 hour shift.
Us immigrants do take all the good jobs that the great British working class would just jump at if they had the chance, don't we?
Edit - cheap veg?! Where!?
